I mean that snare sound! reminds me of when I used to practice my chops on my old, mothers, beanbag chair! still trying to get that sound today in my rock and blues outfit! maybe it's EQ? Anyhow, great performance!
EQ definitely plays a role and some compression. Also, the tuning of the snare is not as high in pitch. From the mid 70s to the late 80s, a lot of drummers had a fat and deep snare sound.
Watching and hearing that video just brought me tears of utter joy! I kid you not. This man not only posesses the best voice in rock, he can write a mean boogie-woogie rock and roll tune, too! Whoo-hoo! Rock and roll!
@bwho : I'll second that. Burt is the best vocalist I've ever heard, and I'm 55 years old and have played professionally for a number of years. Burt's been my absolute favorite for many years.
Thanks to cousin Roger for buying this album for me when I was 12 years old. It's what made me want to be a rock keyboard play and I'm still at it to this day. Thanks most of all to Burton.
Oh and he still rocks, Last seen September 2012 at Sun Peaks Resort, British Columbia. WOW like he did not want to leave the stage. He has so much great music and stories to share! We love you Burton ...
Christ, 25 yearsw plus, and still, just still!!!! one of the best piano seranades ever. You just plain assed rock Burton. and this, is 5 years after that.! May God bless you for the fun you brought to a confused and musically challenged generation. Joseph
Lord how I love those two young girls at 3:20-3:24 ! Take my silver dollaaaah, change it into quarters, shove 'em in the record machine. Bet they're still rockin' to this tune just like I am. :o].
Been a big Burton fan since 69/70. Never saw him in person until August 2001 at Syracuse NY. Have seen him more than a dozen times since, and never been disappointed. Will be watching for shows this year, will travel almost anywhere. How about that for an endorsement?
I want to go to, if anyone's going please take me with you, I only saw him once in Santa Barbara several years ago my hometown for 60 years but not anymore I miss it dearly now in the boonies where there's no culture
I was at this concert. This is the REAL Guess Who for all those who have been duped or scammed by the current BOGUS Guess Who band who is misleading people in order to get these unfortunate people to come to their concerts. Long live Randy and Burton.
Hi all... holy smokes! I saw him last night in Vancouver... aMAZing. He is 61 and is still so cool, so talented- and a funny man! People went nuts, and were mostly his age-ish!
Oh boy. If you ever get the chance. People were remarking that he is still hitting all the notes, playing the songs in the same key... And he is talented, yet down-to-earth and humble. Seems to be enjoying himself, there is "joy" there. I came to know his music in the 80's, my own way to rock, your backyard, fine state of affairs, THEN realised he was the other genius half of the Guess Who. WOW! Wow. Wow. When the key board started for "These Eyes," WOW!!!!
If you want to forget all your troubles and problems in the world for a few hours, go see Burton Cummings in concert. He puts on the best show and all your troubles will be forgotton (well at least while you're there).
Great video!. It was treat to have have met Burton back in my radio days. Pls visit my Radio Rock and Roll Days to see a neat shot of him & I backstage.
@TheInvincibleViolet Well, not sure what Burotn is up to these days, but Randy is still rocking. Has teamed with Fred Turner again (of BTO) and on tour. (All Winnipeg boys.) They sound as good as they ever did! I don't know how Fred's voice stands up!! He still can sceam it out. Randy has a show on CBC radio in Canada. Let me know if you want the times/stations.
"My Own Way To Rock"....is the GREATEST Album? EVER!!!!! I wore-out an 8-Track tape of it. I paid $40. for a 33LP Album, jst to have it for posterity! Burton is the BEST!!! I jam to his tunes whenever I need to ROCK!! He set the pace, with his jammin' on the Piano Keys....the keys never stood a chance!!
@Dogheadj No doubt. I love old Guess Who songs. Like 'Attila's Blues' and 'Road Food' off the 'Road Food' album. That is a band that took Kurt Winter's enormous talent for writing and playing blues songs and Burton's great voice and piano work and great talent for writing songs and just plain rocked the house for many years. What a great band. Not to mention Randy Bachman's great abilities as well. Makes for one great time was had by all! Rock On!
I know I have posted here before (several times, maybe!) but wouldn't these guys have been great on the American Grafitti sound track! After all, they did the Wolfman thingee!
Great camera work on this video. It shows just how great a pianist BC is. Some nimble left hand work there. Could have done with more video of the bass player, that walking bass line is top notch.
Celebrities seem to be the last people who grasp this concept,because they don't live like an average citizen they live a "sheltered" life fed information u need to know and no more
the guy is playing a white Baby Grand Piano....prtty classy....and Randy Bachman...remember,this is the internet,take my "knowledge" of pianos,with a grain of salt
Reunion for the ages, not! Money was probably right and they have nothing better going on anyhow. On the other hand, getting all four "original" members together must have been worth something in the 1980s.
Randy on teh guitar this was a reunion tour in 83, Guess Started in 63 or 64 and BTO in 70 or 71 after Bachman left Guess Who. These 2 guys are good apart and together look out!
I mean that snare sound! reminds me of when I used to practice my chops on my old, mothers, beanbag chair! still trying to get that sound today in my rock and blues outfit! maybe it's EQ? Anyhow, great performance!
EQ definitely plays a role and some compression. Also, the tuning of the snare is not as high in pitch. From the mid 70s to the late 80s, a lot of drummers had a fat and deep snare sound.
Always liked his voice. And what a piano player too!
Bought the album still own it. Still love it...Been a fan of Burton Cummings with and without The Guess Who......The man is amazing !!!!!
Hello Tonya, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
Nobody is a better vocalist than Burton Cummings. Nobody. And he does it while bopping all over the place :)
Stand Tall is a good song that demonstrates his voice
I concur
maybe one better vocalist...Otis Redding
Roger Daltrey gives Burton a run for his money.
the better vocalist died in a plane crash...Otis Redding
Watching and hearing that video just brought me tears of utter joy! I kid you not. This man not only posesses the best voice in rock, he can write a mean boogie-woogie rock and roll tune, too! Whoo-hoo! Rock and roll!
Just another of the great songs by Burton. A pure musical treasure of Canada.
Thank you Canada for the greatest rock band OF ALL TIME!.
JF
@bwho : I'll second that. Burt is the best vocalist I've ever heard, and I'm 55 years old and have played professionally for a number of years. Burt's been my absolute favorite for many years.
Wow he sure gave it up in that performance. Canadian Gold ! Can't express how much we appreciate you!
not only is Burton the best voice in R&R, he can play the hell out of that piano...great riffs
thats what rock is all about.
Thanks to cousin Roger for buying this album for me when I was 12 years old. It's what made me want to be a rock keyboard play and I'm still at it to this day. Thanks most of all to Burton.
Oh and he still rocks, Last seen September 2012 at Sun Peaks Resort, British Columbia. WOW like he did not want to leave the stage. He has so much great music and stories to share! We love you Burton ...

Hello Brenda, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
One of those times when the live is actually better than the recording, it doesn't get better than this. Love Burton's scat at the end
Welcome Back from the War,Randy!
The greatest Canadian rock band.
Christ, 25 yearsw plus, and still, just still!!!! one of the best piano seranades ever. You just plain assed rock Burton. and this, is 5 years after that.!
May God bless you for the fun you brought to a confused and musically challenged generation.

I played this song in an old band 20 years ago. It's as much fun to play as it is to listen to..
Start those engines, There's a Canadian in the house...woohooooooo!!!!!!...Kick that keyboard up a notch!
Now that's some quality performance. Burton, you never let us all down. You're amazing!! I love you!!!
That's what you call TALENT and SHOWMANSHIP. The KEY to it all !!! Long live Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman.!!!
Thats some KICK ASS Rock'N Roll !!!

Ahhh. You babies, never lived real rock and roll! Here it is Thanks to UA-cam, you can!

I used to drink a pile of whiskey to this song. Drink till I fell over then got up and drank some more whiskey..........what a great life
I LOVE this kind of music!!!!
Burton on the piano is a real treat. Just amazing!!!
Burton is special
I had this tape when I had a screamin Opel GT. Loved to jam gears on my way around the winding roads to the coast. What great memories!
Oh boy. If you ever get the chance. People were remarking that he is still hitting all the notes, playing the songs in the same key...
And he is talented, yet down-to-earth and humble. Seems to be enjoying himself, there is "joy" there.

@goesfastandfar Yes! it is!
Haha, I was at this show with my parents if this is from the CNE Bandshell in Toronto. Not a 100% sure.

Pandemic be Gone!

Hello 👋 , how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
:)
am I the only one who noticed Burton is playing a Baby Grand Piano?
the guy is playing a white Baby Grand Piano....prtty classy....and Randy Bachman...remember,this is the internet,take my "knowledge" of pianos,with a grain of salt
sound about right?
Reunion for the ages, not! Money was probably right and they have nothing better going on anyhow. On the other hand, getting all four "original" members together must have been worth something in the 1980s.
Pink cat good steak be cool thanks for the great day
its his only way to rock
that was randy Bachman
We closed your bar and partied till 5 am cops were waiting for you to leave early so we jammed till sun up waynesboro va
Randy on teh guitar this was a reunion tour in 83, Guess Started in 63 or 64 and BTO in 70 or 71 after Bachman left Guess Who. These 2 guys are good apart and together look out!
