Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was lucky enough to both see this band in Montreal on the 2000 tour and catch the CBC special after the tour wrapped up. This is an extended version of the special, and a magical night it was for Winnipegers and GW fans everywhere. The night they played Montreal, the video cameras were on them as they were headed to the stage, and the thunder that came from the audience would make you think God had approached the stage...Bachman and Cummings are the Lennon & McCartney of the Great White North, and from the performances that night and on the CD...they're playing better than they ever did the first time around (and I had seen them back in 1971). Some people may consider Mr. Cummings a bit full of himself...but he's earned it if he comes across that way...the legendary material he and Randy (and all his other collaborators in the band including the late Kurt Winter) have given us over the years is some truly great rock & roll...this band deserves a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...if the powers that be ever get their heads in the right geographical location. The morning after I saw the Guess Who in Montreal, the morning guy on CHOM-FM said it all: "I've been to a ton of concerts over the years, but I've never been to a show where I sang along with every single song all the way through... but I did last night." This is one of those shows...worth your money and worth them taking it on the road again next year (and hopefully to the US as well as Canada...if not, I guess I'll just travel north again). Bravo Burton, Randy, Bill, Donnie and Garry. After 35, nearly 40 years I am still a solid fan!
