The Guess Who - Don Kershners Rock Concert 1974 

I had prostate cancer too. Get screened, fuq cancer

In fact, just get your blood tested when you turn 50 or so. PSA test could save your life brothers

The rock n roll hall of fame is a joke. 4 guys who think they are the Gods of music.

The hall of fame are run by a bunch of clowns, not even Jethro Tull are in there smh

I think it speaks more highly of artists that they are snubbed by the idiots who think ABBA and rappers == rock and roll. I wish that piece of crap would slide into Lake Erie and disappear.

top ten band 60 & 70

ATTENTION FELLOW ROCKERS: I live near the Rock n Roll HOF! The reason The Guess Who and other bands are not "yet" in the HOF is simple. They cannot put 65yrs of musicians in all at once because if they did people would only need to go there once. So, to keep it fresh and new, they only induct 6 or so a year. I can assure you that it's a GREAT museum! Other great museums are Bethyl Woods Museum (Woodstock) in New York and the Motown museum in Detroit. Check them out online or better yet........in person! PEACE OUT!!!

Yes we did!

Absolutely

Indeed but w/o Randy not quite the same

Add CCR-Deep Purple -the guess Who-- all rockin at the same time-among many others

We sure af DID!

Domenic was from Toronto. He was a brilliant guitarist and gifted writer. I thought "Flavours" was a natural evolution from "Road Food" once Burton fired the drunks ( his words ) and got a top quality player.

​@@derhandtrommlerDominic was a great guitarist. Burton always hired great guitar players.

You have my vote peace to you my brother if that applies.

@@rurdy2rk380 Right on bro! ✌🏼

It's becoming readily apparent that exclusion from the Rock HOF is the true badge of honor. Don't sweat it.

I wish but, there are some American Women on the judging committee.

They and Steppenwolf should've been in years ago.....

Same here, I only had Wheatfield Soul and the greatest hits, then I got that 5 cd set. Slept on it for a bit, then saw Robert Lawson’s book Wheatfield Empire for sale on Amazon and said what the hey and bought it. Then reading along to the book and listening to the albums, I ended up falling in love with all their albums. What an awesome band

Yep I agree totally

That's awesome 👌!!!

There is somebody who always gets the short straw...in every band.

Agree..I'm from Brazil... Pelé RIP😔🙏

I won't be very appreciated for my comment but - He burnt out his voice for a good cause.... He's Canada's Rock n roll hero. Thanks Burton!

@@quiltedpine7027 I can't buy that! I read that Burton's heavy cigarette habit caused nodules to grow on his throat which had to be removed surgically. That's how he ended up with a nasal voice.

He is interred at the same mausoleum as my father in law. Every time I visit my father in law, I pass by Domenic's tomb and thank him for his musical contributions. He was an incredible guitarist.

He played the guitar for the James Gang from 1972 'til 1973.

Garry is the best damn drummer ever in rnr...

When this version of the band broke up Garry expressed his disappointment saying, "We were just getting good."

@@patrickdruhan6143 I'm surprised he said that! They were HOT long before that! I saw them twice in St. Louis, Mo. And Garry did a drum solo that blew me away!

@@ogredad55 I think Troiano forced them to be better players. Garry was down for that, Cummings was not. After the breakup Cummings said he appreciated Troiano's skill, but he just wanted to plonk out chords on his piano.

@@patrickdruhan6143 I'm surprised to hear this! They were better than good long before this! Thanks for sharing, Patrick.

WHAT A BAND !

it's not about who is the best. obviously.

Great band as were GFR NO HALL! WTH!!!

Yes, without doubt, Troiano was the best guitarist that The Guess Who ever had. By the way, saw them on 2/14/20, in Biloxi. The present The Guess Who was also great i that concert. Time moves on. Things change. Life goes on. Enjoy what we have.

Domenic may have been better technically, but I still prefer Kurt Winter's style and musicality. Apples and oranges, I know, but.... Still, I am pleasantly surprised at the full sound the Guess Who got here as a four piece. They pulled it off quite well -- a tip of the had to Mr. Troiano is deserved.

NOPE Kurt Winter !!! 💯💯💯

Burton hired only the best guitarist.

Dancin’ Fool one of my faves!

Imagine, Burton was only 26, just a kid, so talented!

I think that song was their last hurrah. As usually happens with me that's when I woke up and got turned on to them. They broke up soon after. Similar thing happened to me with; The Police, The Michael Stanley Band, The Doobie Brothers, etc. I'm a fool.

​@@larryhall2805 They put out one more album with this lineup called "Power in the Music" it kicks ass! Also this New York radio broadcast is well worth listening to... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1hGchK9Y54s.htmlsi=6qcK0rppVHkTLuMA

They will be....they cannot put 65yrs of musicians in at once..give it time.

They just asked Dolly Parton to be inducted into RHOF but she told them she doesn't deserve it, with so many that do and her being a country singer, she respectibly turned them down 👍🏼 She did mention that she might have to do a rock album now... 😂

The legacy (insomuch as the average person is unaware of the numerous line-up changes and who played on what) is intact. Nothing that happened after 1975 matters.

So I worked at a radio station in Winnipeg in the mid-1970s and once interviewed Kale on-air, as he taking his first ersatz Guess Who on the road. I asked him "What do you say to people who say it's not right for you to tour as the Guess Who, since none of the principals are in the band?" (Something, but it's precisely the question I asked.) He looked at me with absolutely murderous eyes and responded, "No one's ever said that to me." That btw is an exact quote. I thought he was gonna deck me.

@@wristshot55 wow. That sayin all.

seriously....Troiano was such a great guitarist

Great guitarist, too bad he never quite found the right band. He should have made it way bigger but with both the Guess Who and James Gang he came in when those bands were past their best days.

@@thelastperfectman4139 Guess Who was not "past their best days" and enjoy a strong following some 50 years later

Burton Cummings wasn't happy with Troiano.

@@rp7326 Why?

Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw repalced Randy. this is years after Randy left.

BTO is Fantastic🎸

@@beatmastert Yes. This was the final lineup before Burton went solo. Greg left in 1972 and was replaced by Donnie McDougall from 1972-74. Kurt then left with Donnie in 1974 and Dominic joined for the last two albums. Bassist Bill Wallace took over from Jim Kale in 1972

The Canadian Music Hall of Fame is an extremely low bar compared to the USA and UK. Lower than even Australia and New Zealand.

​@@christopherwood2290Burton Cummings & The Guess Who, Randy Bachman BTO were from Canada. This is where their Walk of Fame is. And that's ok. It's not right to measure these legendary musicians to other Countries Walk of Fame.

Just like Todd Rundgren, he too should be in the RnR HOF just like the Guess Who. Very political, I have emailed the HOF why some Rapp groups are in there and not Rock n Roll groups.

One of the all time great voices in rock.

Sounds like Zappa

Supposably it's about a former manager I think. You have got to hear the Electric Ladyland radio broadcast. This tour. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1hGchK9Y54s.htmlsi=6qcK0rppVHkTLuMA

He lives in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan.

I actually saw Dominic with the James Gang in Omaha. He kicked ass bigtime...so much so, I wondered how Edgar Winter and his crew were going to being able to take the stage. But of course, Winter, Dan Hartman, and Ron Montrose took it to another level. Hell of a show.

Not their best lineup, they were the GW in name only by this time.

The original 4 were the best version!

Amen bro.....

Absolutely senseless how Wenner operates these guys were as good as anything around at the time and after. Wake up Wenner, you are a fool.

The HOF is like the media, tow the line , think their way or you suffer the consequences. Hell, Elvis could not get in these days!

Simple. Janet Jackson is commercial crap. The Guess Who, not.

It's a travisty they are not in not even nomanated

Yes let alone the rappers. I want actual musicians unless it is comedy 95% of it sucks.

@@rurdy2rk380 they should be called Music HOF!

@@speedracer2336 For sure I am watching Thorogood and Jefferson Starship and Airplane. Not sure what a lot of this generations head spinnin a** slappin crap is all about? I was fortunate enough to see the Guess Who a few times yes its sucks to get old. Have a good morning.

Along with to many Crappers.

He is outstanding. I really wish this particular line-up of the Guess Who had stayed together longer. Think they could have produced some really strong stuff, and Troiano seemed like a good fit.

Yup. I understand Bush had the Canadian copyright to the name, yielding a conflict with the English band of the same name. Dominic Troiano, owner of the Canadian copyright, eventually relented.

If you can find the Bush CD, these live tracks - recorded in LA - are added as a bonus. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08PIUT2oDQ4.html

SRV used a Leslie speaker on some of his tracks as well, most notably "Cold Shot." It's not the speaker itself that spins, though, it's a foam cylinder with various different sized/shaped cutouts that spins in front of the actual speaker. That's what gives organs their particular "wailing," almost siren-like sound. I actually got to play through a Leslie cab once. We were hosting an afternoon jam at a local blues club, and the sound guy asked me if I wanted to try out that evening's main act's Leslie. If course I jumped at the chance, but because the speaker was hidden under the front of the stage, my drummer bitched and moaned about "not being able to hear me."🤣 I mean, he's sitting right next to my 50 watt, 4x10" tube combo, and he claims he can't hear me!🤣

Too bad his drinking and bitterness caught up with him. Hopefully he's learned from it

True, but I would've loved to have seen them play "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature." IMHO, that has to be *the* most bad@$$ number they *ever* did! For my money, "Canned Wheat" was *the* definitive GW album. The band were at their absolute pinnacle of writing and playing prowess, and the album showed levels of subtlety and style that made it really stand out from their other works. "Minstrel Boy" and the rollicking extended romp that is "The Key" are probably the most outstanding tracks on that album, but "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" is top of the heap in terms of showcasing their immense songwriting talents. The story behind it is that Burt really loved the opening lick and wanted to go one way with it, while Bachman wanted to go another route entirely. In the end, they agreed to do both, with Burt's version first and Randy's second. Or at least that's what I heard, way back in the early 1970s.😉 Still an awesome performance from one of Canada's true pioneers of rock!

@@That70sGuitarist: rock pioneers - PERIOD - but, NO question; Canada contributed MIGHTILY to the genre's evolution.....

​@@ogam5 Damn straight! There were literally dozens of amazing bands from Canada back then, some of whom achieved massive success in the US and internationally as well. Canada was positively overflowing with towering talents back then, from Rush to Triumph, Max Webster to Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush, April Wine to Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and many more, the list just goes on and on. Truly an epic time for Canada and Canadian music fans. I feel positively blessed to have lived in those tumultuous times.😁

@@That70sGuitarist I think Canadian media has done a great job of promoting Canadian bands and singers and actors post WW2, tbh.

@@cbotten106 Honestly, most of that promotion happened after the federal.government enacted the so-called "Can-con" rules. Suddenly, Canadian television and radio stations were scrambling to find Canadian talent, and a whole recording industry sprang up almost overnight. I once watched a documentary about a Quebecois band, Harmonium, touring US colleges and universities in the 1970s, and Rene Levesque even accompanied them on part of their visit to California. It was strange think of American students digging a French Canadian band, but there it was on film!😉

In recent years, Burton has not spoken so fondly of this version of the Guess Who and the new sound. Personally, I liked some of it and saw the potential, but other aspects of the Dom era were just not compatible with the Guess Who sound.

Burton is wearing the same Suit and Shirt he wore on the cover of his 1st Solo Album.

troiano isn't even a winnipeger ffs.

Agree Dominic did fine with James gang

yes he is, but he's a shtook for dragging The GW name through the mud with these whack lineups that embarrass the band's great 70's history.

@@derhandtrommler musicians don't have retirement plans and gold watches. he''s just trying to survive

@@damnyankeefl You are talking to a career musician, slugger. Peterson can play all he wants, and can certainly earn a living. He and Kale swindled the name from Randy and Burt, and them lied to them to get into the lucrative reunion tour. That disqualifies him from acting like the GW With a bunch of ringers.

@@mben-david2064 i RESPECT YOU . . and yeah they did. I saw a video from a theme park recently. and they were tracking the background vocals. from the real band. made me want to scream.

@@mben-david2064 i'm a guy who plays in cover bands. without tracks. we do our best. and are proud of what we do. live.

Watch the full concerts they have on here.

he plays different instruments for some songs like piano, jazz flute (Undun) & saxaphone (life in the bloodstream)

When? i went to ODU from 80 to 84
