- Lenny is joined live onstage by Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman from the original Guess Who -- and authors of "American Woman." Kudos to Lenny for acknowledging the originators! Super Rare and only from McGar-Vision!
That transition from Lenny's cover to the original is phenomenal
Most of those people don’t even know what kind of artists Bachman and Cummings truly are, a shame.
Couldn't agree more. Randy could do with a guitar what few other's dared and Burton's voice is the most underrated voice in rock history!
I agree!
They taking care of business!!!
greatest rock voice of all time
Lenny, I like your take, but as soon as I hear Burton, the intensity of the original just kicks in....still the man
I agree totally. The Guess Who bites and has an edge that Lenny doesn't have. Too soft.
It's because...it's iconic.
Something you can't forget. Those guys still cam rock..
i agree too !
Such a dynamic performance! Synergistic, I think. Each artist is incredible on their own, together, wow! I’m so thankful I found this today. It’s going in my library of Great music!❤❤❤
That was f****** absolutely amazing! what a collaboration between Lenny and The Guess Who it actually gave me chills down my spine!!
Wow, hearing them side by side, no wonder Cummings is one of the greatest voices in rock!
Lucy Randy has some DAB from ME !!
Killer MUSICIAN !! Guitar,voice n WRITER !!!!
N CHRISTIAN !!
The audience sure came alive when Canada's greatest band took the stage.....Rock on Burton Cummings!
Rush. Period. End of story. Not even debatable.
Rush....and the Guess Who...
nope, guess who
guess who eom, put Canada on the fn map u idiot
nope guess who were around in 1966 ua-cam.com/video/f2lCDQ8j9bE/v-deo.html
The original is the best but I like Lenny's version too, great together
I like Kravitz, but it took a couple of Canucks to kick this jam into high gear!
Lenny Kravitz is a real class act, very gracious.
Lenny would have fit perfect in the 70s.
Lol how he steals other people’s sound constantly
This was sooooo awesome to see Lenny Kravitz with The Guess Who ✌️
Randy bachman is the most underated lead guitarist in the world. The music BC and Randy B wrote is still relavent today.
ALL my children knows B.T.O!!!!

listen from 5:55
Randy is insane here!
You're underrated.
@@rudolphguarnacci197 Huh?
I don’t think so. Bachman’s deft Jazz touch in rock is instantly identifiable . I think he’s a brilliant creator and arranger of guitar parts but not a ‘lead’ guitarist in the modern understanding of it.
Bachman and Cummins showing em how its done!!
Fabulous by both artist but Burt Cummings voice able to cut through and shine! Bachman awesome as ever Kravitz awesome that you gave them the floor Big ups!!
children of the 21st century, listen and learn. this is real live rock music by talented musicians doing what they were born to do.
Guess Who. Great Band.
Love Guess Who ❤
Kravitz rockin' with the originals!!! Plain Awesome! That must have been a very fun concert to perform and to attend.
THIS IS SO GOOD :) BOTH THE ORIGINAL THE GUESS WHO AND THE COPYCAT LENNY KRAVITZ PLAYING THE SAME GREAT ROCK SONG: AMERICAN WOMAN
@@sonicjet7759 Burton was thrilled when Lenny asked about doing the song. He said that he felt flattered as an artist because Kenny kept so much of the wording and vocal sounds. No copycat. Just collaboration.
I like Lenny to bits, but the original....woooooow. That drive, the guitar, Burton's voice. They sound pissed off, and that's the message of the song.
glittering multitude u

It's a breakup song. I identify today
OMG that is one of best things I've seen/heard in years. Fantastic. Thanks for posting.
Burton Cummings sounded really good here.
I remember being exciting watching The MMVAs and MTV MVAs. Watching performances like this made it sooo exciting! I remember watching this live back in 2000. Good Times!
Holy Fucking WOW! TWO of my FAVORITE artists. I never knew they plated this together. What an amazing performance. RESPECT!
I have to give them both kudos , famous hook up
The Guess Who was great, Burton Cummings & Randy Brockman aka BTO, Lennie is great too. If Lennie was a singer in the 70s he would have fit right in.
This song written by Canadian Burton Cummings is about Canadians portraying America as a seductress. The song speaks to how Canadians were feeling about the Vietnam War and the impact and dominance of American Culture on Canada during the 70's. " I don't need your war machines, I don't need your ghetto scenes, colored lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else's eyes." - says it all.
I love how Burton Cummings is holding back here to keep from blowing everyone off the stage. What a legend 💥
Love your observation about Burton in this performance, and agree 100% he is a legend!
@roseblacke5803 Agree 100%. This is the first time I have seen this performance and was wondering why Burton was holding back, but then it hit me that he didn't want to upstage Lenny. A legend and a gentleman - indeed! 💌
Man, all the "big" hits Cummings and Bachman had. When man recording artists had trouble filling an entire "Greatest Hits" album with "real" hits, The Guess Who had no trouble at all.
Many of those big hits came after Bachman left the band.
What a life Randy Bachman's had. The Guess Who AND BTO.
Stu B yes he did it twice....
3 times , in vetween gw and bto
Has not had.
Don't forget "Brave Belt", "Ironhorse", "Union", "Bachman", "Bachman & Turner", "Bachman & Cummings" and as a solo artist. Randy also produced Canadian 1970's hard rock band "Trooper" and he has his own radio show in Canada called"Randy's Vinyl Tap".
Stu B ALSO LEFT the Guess Who !!
Joined the LDS Church !!
Burton n da Band did NOT want to stop Drinking,Sexin,Partin ,”SMOKIN !!
The minute he introduced them I know this would go hard as hell! I love them both!
This is how the grown ups do it boys & girls..
Simply the greatest video ever found on UA-cam...
Lenny Kravitz is a real class act, very gracious.
Wow, hearing them side by side, no wonder Cummings is one of the greatest voices in rock!
they should be in the R&R Hall of Fame!
Yes they should ! Lenny can induct them !
Agree!
My Brother to our far right is definitely into it. Thank you Lennie, Burton and Randy.
✌🇨🇦 from 🇺🇸
I have loved this song since I first heard it in 1971.
I just watched this and all I can say is...
FUCK YEAH!!!
Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings of Canadian rock band The Guess Who were inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF) in 2005.
Great group, great song. Remember this song well back in 1970, when I was 15 yrs old. Thanks Guess Who, greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, USA 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Here again on 25 March 2021. Love it.
Now that's what this song needed , MORE COW BELL ;-)
Peace Y
Burton Cummings has such a great voice. Canada knows how to rock.
I agree 100% greetings from Charleston, West Virginia 🇺🇸 ✌🇨🇦
It was cool to bring back Burton, Randy & the rest of The Guess Who with Lenny K. American Woman has always been a classic rock son...it had a funk to it that just stood out. Now Lenny's taken it a step further...that's the ultimate compliment from one artist to the originators.
And how many people get to scratch that off a fuckin' bucket list?! Jam with Burton and Randy...check!
Lenny....you are keeping it alive. Thank you my friend....ROCK ON!!
Amen !!!!!!
Thanks for keepin' it real Lenny!!
Lenny does a great job. Thanks, Im 62 yrs old and still listen to Rock n Roll everyday. This video was great. Thanks again.
62? Hi youngster, I am 73 and also keep listening to Rock 'n' Roll. And a mysterious subconscious force seems to have made me chose my name when I joined UA-cam a month ago.
guess who great name. Good group.
Wow, what an exciting performance! I'm blown away!
The guess who were the best thing to ever come out of Canada. Next to hockey.
Masterpiece. Leave it alone.
For those of you who do not know the story of how this song was written, look it up. It is one of the more incredible tales to come out of rock and roll.
Oh and also, don’t believe critics or what you read online, where you will learn that they didn’t put out anything good after about 1971 or maybe 1972. These guys continue to put out great rock ‘n’ roll records especially throughout the entire 1970s, and beyond. Even with some of the disputes and changing lineups, and even without Burton on a couple of them, they still put out good music because they never lost sight of what makes a good rock album, and what people will respond to.
And their music is very varied from the whimsical to the very dark. They really belong more in the category of Zappa, or The Tubes, or similar bands as much as they do with the meet and (hopefully Au-gratin) potatoes rock bands that they are more typically associated with.
this country needs to celabrate our famous bands of the 60's. they brought great music from england and the US. we celabrate all the old bands and singers, why not bands from the 60's????????????????????????????????
Amazin!!!
In the late 60's The Guess Who from my hometown of Winnipeg out sold the Beatles and the Stones. Yet no Rock n Roll Hall of Fame WTF
Yes, you are correct. They actually outsold the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles combined globally in 1970. They are beyond awesome!
I missed out on the 'Zoo. Wrong decade :(
Brian Daly yes Guess Who needs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They are Great. Thanks Canada.
No Association or Moody Blues either..... and all three groups are much better than SEVERAL lesser artists who ARE IN.......a TRAVESTY!!!
Shondells outsold ewveryib an ccr
I am from almost Winnepeg, Minneapolis, and was fourteen in 1970 and loved this song, drove my mother nuts
er Winnipeg, Manitoba. Am guessing you are saying you are from Minneapolis. All good.
Love to see three geniuses on stage at the same time.
+morganminpin Who is the 3rd?
Wow!!!!
My Brother in the front with the white robe singing...is great.
now that's badass !!!
WTF !!! This is beyond -awesome!!!!!!!!
Lenny, you would have fit in perfect in the 70s.
Saw Lenny's mom in an old " Claudine"clip & had to watch Lenny!!
The Voice.
To think I met the members of The Guess Who when I was 14 -- at the Bay in downtown Montreal! Ah....the memories.
+D Thomas And they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...and Cheap Trick is!!!!!!!
+Cuthbert J. Twillie It's enough to make a dog barf, isn't it?
What did Cheap Trick have - one lousy hit "I Want You To Want Me" - okay, two sub-standard hits ""Surrender" and the Live LP in Japan, which I'm too lazy to look up.
Everyone’s gangster until Burton Cummings comes out abusing a cowbell 🤘🏻🤘🏻
abusing... hahaha. That's the right word. He clangs it like he means it.
If memory serves me, this was at the Canadian music awards, and they missed an opportunity to make it a huge surprise. Kravitz's version was at the top of the charts and they were expected to play. Instead of the announcer (before this vid starts) saying "here's Kravitz with the Guess Who" and having the GW stand in the dark shadows but visible for the first part, they could have just announced Kravitz and dropped or pulled back a curtain for a surprise appearance by the Guess Who when it came their time. Then the crowd really would have gone nuts.
So cool ! Brilliant !😊👍
My Absolute Favorite by Lenny!! 💘
I am friends with Donnie McDougall second guitar and Bill Wallace bass who played in The Guess Who. I got to jam with them both. I love both the original and Lenny's version of American Woman.
I don't mind that Lenny Kravitz covered that great song by the Guess Who. I really love Burton Cummings' voice and the musical talent of Randy Bachman. You might be interested in reading this about THAT particular song:

Thank you for your service! My DAD was a USMC Iwo Jima survivor! Semper Fi, sir!
@@McGarVision Iwo Jima Marines are the Greatest Marines Ever
Lenny and the g u ess who! Wow!
Doesn't get any better than that. BTW name last name is Baker too.
Absolutely Amazing... Loved It...very cool!
Never tire of this song!! Coolest song to ever protest the Vietnam War!! 😎 🎸 💘 🎶 👨 🎼 😍 😊 😎
Not a Vietnam war protest song.
Not at all. Cummings said on tour he noticed the girls from the US were more “grown up looking” than the girls in Canada & the song was supposed to be about Canadian women but it came out American Woman. He also said that at a show of The Guess Who, he was outside trying to score from 45 records from a collector when the band just started playing this riff & he had to run to get onstage & American Woman came out of that. He said there was this kid with a big ass boom box on his shoulder at the front trying to bootleg the show & afterwards they called the kid backstage & made him give up the tape & that’s how American Woman became to be. Both good stories & either way, it was NOT a protest song of any war.
Awesome 👍
WOW!! 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Fusion of generations.
Great muscle from the seventies and a timeless riff. Prince would have been some OTT purple icing
The ultimate combination
THE VOALC WAS DEDLKY - AMAZING
Those people in the audience got their money’s worth and then some. No matter how much they paid.
That was Badass
ide like to see lenny and burton tream up
Holy fkn shit! What a performance!
I've met and respect Lenny's true admiration for the Guess Who, he (Lenny) covered this ultimate song prior to the Bush Administration and the all the fall-out, he was an ahead of his time and quite simply paying homage. Well done Lenny, luv ya for it.
AckTube pardon me??? its the DEms' that caused this - BUSH was not here in 1970
+XMIR10C alllo this is the Earth..
1998 Kravitz did this
Bush was elected in 2000
and just after that all hell broke lose
still at war to this day boy
Great combination! Great talent!
Back again 22 March 2021. Great
If its about War, thanks to all the Americans and Canadians who have served or is serving. I too, served 24 yrs. Semper Fi
So awesome!!
Woooooooo!!!!!
Magic
Is it just me or did this get a whole lot better at 1:50?
BOTH BANDS ON STAGE - PRICELESS
amaxing
2:48 Beautiful riff variation!
I tell you, this is going to be hard to beat!
did not expect this performance to be so good1
Totally enjoyable !!!
as good as it gets!
This is cool. Right on..😎
Lenny's uncle, Leonard M. Kravitz, is a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions during the Korean War.
Wow, I didn't know that. A true American Hero. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
So many good memories guess who thank you
Rock on! Love this!
Awesome
Nice moment there. I see the CityTV sign in the background, so I believe this was a Canadian music awards event a number of years back, and they had Kravitz and Guess Who as the opening to the show. I believe that's also the Guess Who bassist and guitar in the background as well as Cummings/Bachman. Thanks for posting it.
Awesome...I feel sorry for kids today...
Well, that was pretty cool!
