The Guess Who

In 1970, The Guess Who were basking in the success of their hit album "American Woman," which had just been released in March of that year, just a few months before this live recording. This album topped the charts and showcased their distinctive mix of rock and pop. It was a pivotal moment for the band, marking their transition into international fame. The live performance of "Hand Me Down World" at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Washington captures the energy and excitement of their peak, where they were not only selling out shows but also making waves on radio stations. Interestingly, this song was part of an album, "Share the Land," that was released later, but the momentum built by "American Woman" had everyone buzzing about their sound and style. The Guess Who's ability to blend catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics was definitely on full display that night!
