The Guess Who - 1975-04-15 - Winnipeg Playhouse Theater, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (Plus Bonus)

The Guess Who

1975-04-15
Winnipeg Playhouse Theater
Winnipeg, Canada
FM Broadcast Recording, very good quality
Mp3 @ 320 kbps

Here's another one I've been meaning to post for awhile, but haven't gotten to it, as I have tried to feature as many Guess Who shows as possible (as there just aren't very many high quality recordings available). And this is a fine one, a complete show from their hometown in 1975 (and one of their last shows) just a few months before Burton Cummings pulled the plug on the band to go solo. This definitely shows the more jazzy direction taken by the band after jazz guitarist Dominic Troiano came on board, as particularly demonstrated with the extended 'Those Show Biz Shoes' with a jazz guitar solo running about 10 minutes, as well as in 'Straighten Out'. This tour was in support of their last album, Power in the Music, so features several songs from that, but they also included plenty of their hits as well. A fine show that shows a bit of a different side to the band. But this new form of the band didn't last long (and it has been reported that Burton was not that keen on the jazz direction taken). But they still sound great and are always worth hearing in a live show (There is a bit of a problem with the mix in the early songs, but it gets much better as the show goes on).

BONUS Guess Who Set!

The Guess Who
1970-08-05
Gaelic Park
Manhattan College
New York, NY
Soundboard Recording
320 kbps

Here's a Bonus short set from The Guess Who, from 1970, thus with dual guitarists Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw on board. A great time for the band, and a soundboard recording (even if a bit rough). However, it's only 4 songs, but does include a rousing 'American Woman', 'No Time', and 'Hand Me Down World'. A nice addition to the available shows, but not enough to warrant a separate post just for this brief set. But as I will post any and all Guess Who Shows I get my hands on, this is a nice bonus set.

01. Key
02. Hand Me Down World
03. American Woman
04. No Time
Total 25:24

Burton Cummings: keyboards, vocals
Jim Kale: bass
Garry Peterson: drums
Greg Leskiw: guitar
Kurt Winter: guitar
