The Guess Who

During their live performance of 'Share the Land' at Budokan on November 20, 1972, The Guess Who were riding high on the success of their album also titled 'Share the Land,' released earlier that year. This was a pivotal moment, as it was one of their last albums featuring the iconic lead vocalist Burton Cummings, marking their distinctive sound that blended rock and pop. What's fascinating is that this performance showcased not just their well-known hits, but also their ability to engage a live audience, demonstrating their rock prowess in the vibrant atmosphere of Tokyo. The Budokan concert captured the essence of their popularity in the early '70s, as they became one of the first Canadian bands to make a significant mark in the international scene, reflecting their widespread appeal and the cultural exchange between North America and Japan.
