The Guess Who
The Guess Who - Clap For The Wolfman (Live) Performance from Playhouse Theatre 75
In April 1975, The Guess Who performed a live rendition of "Clap For The Wolfman" at the Pantages Playhouse Theatre in Winnipeg, their hometown. By this time, they had recently released the album "Road Food," which featured a blend of rock and pop that captured their evolving sound. "Road Food" marked a unique phase in their career as it was the last album to include their original lineup before changes began to unfold. The track itself pays homage to legendary DJ Wolfman Jack, showcasing the band's knack for catchy hooks and charismatic performances. Interestingly, Burton Cummings and Bill Wallace, the song's composers, weaved in cultural references, highlighting their ability to connect music with the zeitgeist of the time. This live recording thus encapsulates a pivotal moment in their career, reflecting both their popularity and creativity during the mid-1970s.
