The Guess Who
The Guess Who - Live Performance of Bus Rider at Budokan in Japan
In November 1972, The Guess Who were riding high on the waves of their success with their album 'Rockin'', released earlier that same year. The live performance at the iconic Nippon Budokan in Tokyo showcased their distinctive sound, blending rock and pop that had captivated audiences both in North America and abroad. Interestingly, 'Bus Rider', the song performed during this show, reflected the band's knack for storytelling through music, drawing listeners into relatable scenarios. By this point in their career, the band had established themselves as trailblazers in the rock scene, even achieving a number one hit with 'American Woman' just a couple of years earlier. This live recording not only captured the electric atmosphere of the concert but also highlighted how The Guess Who continued to resonate deeply with fans, becoming a memorable chapter in their musical journey.
