The Guess Who - Live Performance of American Woman Blues & American Woman at Budokan

Venue: Nippon Budokan Location: Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan Date: November 20, 1972

In November 1972, The Guess Who delivered an electrifying performance at Budokan in Tokyo, capturing their signature sound in a live setting. At this time, the band had recently released their album 'Rockin'' in 1970, which showcased their blend of rock and pop. They were at the height of their career, especially with 'American Woman' being a defining track, capturing the spirit of the era. An interesting tidbit is that 'American Woman' not only topped the charts in Canada and the U.S. but also became an anthem of sorts, symbolizing the changing cultural landscape. Their live rendition of 'American Woman Blues' combined with 'American Woman' highlights their musicianship, while the Budokan venue itself is iconic for hosting legendary acts, making this performance a pivotal moment in their history.
