Here's a great set from The Guess Who in their prime, this one just a few months after Randy Bachman left the group, and features the dual guitars of new members Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw, and of course the great voice of Burton Cummings. Also featured is an extended, scathing 'American Woman' and new songs from their just-released first post-Bachman album, Share the Land. As this tour (and their subsequent albums) indicated, not only would The Guess Who survive the loss of Bachman, but it actually made them a better band. Winter's guitar style and songwriting contributions were immediately felt on songs like 'Bus Rider', 'Hang On To Your Like', 'Hand Me Down World', and 'Coming Down off the Money Bag''. Again, not a very good recording, but a great show, and there are so few available Guess Who boots, it still is a great listen.

This was the first concert I ever attended. The Grass Roots were the opening act. One song I don't see on the list is "We're Coming to Dinner." I remember when Burton Cummings sang "even combed our hair," he licked his fingers and brushed them over the hair of his armpit... that got a big reaction from the audience. I don't remember where it was in the set, but I definitely remember it being there. I also remember the first song being "Bus Rider."
I can not get thses to play
Woah! My 1st gig as well!! Amazing..
wow--my first concert, as well. I was 16.
the Grass Roots were fantastic, harder-edged than their records.
Rick Coonce even did a long drum solo---maybe 5 minutes? Who expected that?
Rob Grill was a great singer, but keyboard man Dennis Provisor had a helluva soulful voice.
as great as the 'Roots were....the Guess Who was hotter. Cummings may be the most underrated singer in rock history. The twin lead guitar attack from the two new guys was killer.
ps Comin' Down off Money Bag was a Greg song, not Kurt.
