The Guess Who

In 1969, The Guess Who truly took off, having just released their pivotal album, 'Canned Wheat,' earlier that year. This live performance of 'These Eyes' at the Laurel Pop Festival on July 12, 1969, exemplifies their growing success, showcasing their unique blend of rock and pop that was gaining traction in North America. They were not just any band; they were breaking new ground as one of the first Canadian groups to achieve significant acclaim in the U.S. During this pivotal moment in their career, they were adapting to the changing musical landscape of the late 60s, and it was through performances like this that they connected intimately with audiences. Interesting to note, 'These Eyes' would go on to become one of their most beloved hits, perfectly capturing the era's spirit while underpinning the band's rising star status.
