The Guess Who
The Guess Who - Clap For the Wolfman Live at Winnipeg Playhouse Theatre
In April 1975, The Guess Who delivered an electrifying performance of "Clap For the Wolfman" at the Pantages Playhouse Theatre in their hometown of Winnipeg. This live recording comes shortly after the release of their album 'Road Food,' which dropped just a month prior in March 1975. This period marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, positioning them in a blend of rock and pop that was incredibly relatable to their growing fanbase. Fun fact: in the middle of their success, this track, penned by the legendary Randy Bachman, highlights the band’s characteristic charm and their ability to connect directly with audiences. The Guess Who were riding high on the fame of hit singles like "American Woman," but by this time, they were also navigating the complexities of creativity and public expectation, all while keeping their Canadian roots firmly in their music.
