- The Guess Who on The Johnny Cash Show in 1970, alternating Hand Me Down World with Cash's What Is Truth and also playing Share The Land. The band is Burton Cummings (piano, lead vocals), Kurt Winter (guitar), Greg Leskiw (guitar), Jim Kale (bass) and Garry Peterson (drums).
Guess Who, Three Dog Night,
Uriah Heep , Nazareth. Just a few of the 70's bands that never received their true recognition. They ALL should be in hall of fame.
Who is still enjoying this after 50 years?!!! Real rock and roll!!
I watched it the night it aired (I was 10). My dad ranted about B.C's hair the entire time. LOL
*Raises hand* ahem, me!!
my fave band and my fave singer johnny cash
kanekila It was a shock, compared to when he first pumped out earlier, hits. 😂
I know I am considering I grew up across from Canada in upstate New York. My whole family grew up listening to this amazing group along with so many from both sides of the st. Lawrence river. They were just an amazing group that honestly deserves to be inducted into the R&RNhall of fame.
Nothing today even comes close to this kind of talent. Burton Cummings is a freaking legend!
Johnny Cash was one of the few older artists of the time that didn't mock and condemn young people's music.He knew my generation had important things to say.
Johnny Cash was one cool dude!
ED Sullivan also.
@@davewin1792 Ed banned the Doors for Jim Morrison's refusal to change the lyrics to "Light My Fire" He threaded The Stones with the same for "Let's Spend The Night Together". I dunno what planet you were on in the 60's but Sullivan was no friend of rock n'roll or young people of folk with a conscience. All he cared about were ratings. Johnny Cash had more integrity in his tidy whites than Sullivan ever mustered.
@@derhandtrommler He cared about more than ratings. He actually cared about the content of the lyrics. Look where we are today :) Excuse him for caring about young people back then. btw the Doors were a killer band back in the day, but the organ at times sounded off and not in a good way.
@@davewin1792 If you are trying to take me kicking and screaming back to a dreadful time when music was "safe" and tedious, you can have your Lawrence Welk and Pat Boone records. You can also keep the racism, misogyny and denial that America was swamped in. You are welcome to all of it.The Doors were awesome. Every band member and every song.
Burton Cummings was right up there near the top of the best rock vocalists in that era and beyond
Robert Plant commended him. Frank Sinatra said he had the PERFECT voice.
That's how near!
Gary Peterson, one of the best drummers in all of rock. His precision was a thing to behold. As a drummer I’ve always admired him.
So true!!!!
Too bad Garry hangs onto the GW name long, long after it has expired....
Ummm a little too jazzy though
Wasn’t a heavy hitter
Not what rock drumming had become by 1970
Big sound from that little Ludwig Set!! 🥁🥁🥁
Looks like a 24/26” bass drum, I remember when a lot of the bands started using them in the late 60’s. I saw The Rascals in a club in NYC before Atlantic signed them, and Dino was using one.
Burton's voice was amazing and very distinctive!
it still is. he's still got it.
@@WELCOME2PATSPLACE I love the dude , but his best days are long gone. His voice or vibrato doesn't sound the same at all now. but that is expected being 70. Not knocking him, just being real.
His voice was world class at one time... somehow it went south as he aged.... i don't know what the proper term is, but he lost that overdrive distortion as he aged... now he is nasally sounding..... youth is wonderful
Indeed Burton was one of the best that ever lived No doubt about that He has unreal spirit as well
His voice is still great, I’ve seen him perform many a time over the years, super great singer!
Only the best bands can play live and sound as good as the recording...Been a HUGE Guess Who fan since the release of Wheatfield Soul.
That one had the longer version of No Time if I remember correctly. oops wrong. just checked, canned wheat. I knew it had to do with wheat. I have the American Woman album and cut.
Television rarely allowed 'live' transmissions of music for a number of yrs and as convincing as this is it's recorded somehow. Im sure a lot of talent were forced to lip sink even if they could reassure the directors of pulling it off without a hitch, either totally lip synching or singing live over a prerecorded music track.
@@michaelfederoff261 ...the first part of your comment is right. but saying this performance was recorded is definitely incorrect. everything was live in this one. the entire band's instruments and the vocals were completely live. to me, it's obvious
Burton Cummings, one of the best vocalists/ musicians in the last 50 yrs!
Thank you Canada! 🇨🇦
Loved them from day one and 54 years later love them even more.
Thank you Johnny Cash for inviting our Canadians on your amazing show. Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Ann Murray, Lorne Green and of course the Guess Who were spectacular.
And Neil Young
@@saifonlawrence2044 I forgot to mention Ian Tyson he was also on the show
I didn't see this one. I Guess Who there was No Time for me. Fantastic early 70's run. Every song they had was on the charts as far as I know. Didn't care either. They were one of my favorites in Jr High.
Some of the boys from Steppenwolf early years under a different band name were from Canada but reformed in frisco.
They were banned from a lot of American radio stations after this. The politicians said it was promoting communism.
How cool was Johnny Cash that he often featured rock groups like the Guess Who on his show.
It was also very cool that Cash allowed them to play Share The Land. Many radio stations in the United States refused to play it.
@@Mister_Pedantic Johnny Cash respected other artists's work His appreciation for Dylan is well known, and when he recorded "Sunday Morning Coming Down" he insisted the words not be changed from "Lord I wish that I was stoned," because that's the way Kris Kristofferson wrote it.
@@_Peremalfait Johnny was feelin' It; wishing HE was stoned😄
@@Mister_Pedantic The song combo is so apropos re the Communist Virus Socialist, err... Stimulus Package of $2 Trillion Cash Congress just voted to "save" our economy.
Super cool!
Is it possible that someone could be addicted to an amazing voice as BURTON CUMMINGS. I cannot hear it enough. For those of us who had the great pleasure of growing up in the time of this great band are so lucky. The you Burton and the great GUESS WHO.
Boy am I glad I passed through the 60's and 70's time period!
one f*"%"k'n great group that needs to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.
what a travesty that fucking Madonna is in and these true rockers aren't.
That's why the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is HUGE STINKING SACK OF SHIT!!!!!
they should be
Who cares? The rock hall is just an institution with a good name. It's no different than a Grammy, Peoples Choice Award, Kids Choice, VMA, or whatever. Any group or business could create a list of the best "rock" groups in history, and it would serve the same purpose. Ultimately meaningless.
They're Canadians, & Yanks disrespect that country all the time.
These boys performed this live! What a phenomenal group, they were spot-on!
Bru Winthrop
Most definitely excellent.
Beautiful from the heart performance.
Burton Cummings and The Guess Who 👍😀💙💛
weren't no lip-syncing allowed on the johnny cash show! by golly!
Yep. Very rare that a band can play that tightly and so well balanced live. Never mind that they did vocal harmonies on top of all that!
@@surveyordave I literally heard that in Cash's psycho-vibrato... by golly!
You're right. This is incredibly good for a live performance.
Burton had an epic voice. Amazing.
He sure did None better ever
Love his voice!!😘
He still does - he's still around. So is Randy Bachman.
@@AaronSpielman
Hell yeah he does, I've seen lots of videos of he Guess Who or Burton Cummings ... his voice is fantastic.
It was a beautiful thing to see two generations of popular music bridge the gap with each other
One of the best live performances of any song ever.
Spot on Greg !!
AMEN
Forget the song.....one of the greatest live sounding groups ever. This is my top 3 noorder intended...REO SPEEDWAGON, The Guess Who and Bad Company.
Bad Company would have been great. Paul Rodgers voice backed by a tight band.
Back in about ‘71 or so I saw one of their album covers with one of the guys wearing a Garnet Amplifiers tee shirt. I sent a letter simply addressed to Garnet Amplifiers, Winnipeg, Canada asking them to send me a size medium shirt . They sent one to me in Oklahoma and didn’t charge me a dime. When I wore that shirt, I thought I was the bee’s knees.( Now I wear a XX large,LOL).
The Garnet business is still going strong today. Sadly, founder Gar Gillies passed away some years ago at the age of 85.
That guy wearing the Garnet Amplifiers T-shirt was the lead guitarist Kurt Winter. Great player.
You can still buy those t shirts on their site!
One of the most underrated voices in rock … Burton Cummings, wow. Such a gritty, soulful, dynamic voice that puts him among the greatest of all time.
One of the best rock groups ever. Cummings was definitely a top-tier singer, one of the best rock singers, almost too good to be called a rock singer
I totally argee -- Great Band
Burton Cummings can sing anything. His ballads are sung with so much heart & soul. His background with Randy Bachman songs are jazz & soul & rock/roll🇨🇦💕🎹🎤🎶🎸🥰
He had that unmistaken natural vibrato.
@@nolaservAKA GUT WRENCHER!!!
Aim for the best and take the best you can do. I shown flashes of that vibrato in public when there's a rare GW song on, and people will want me to continue! And I'll tell 'em, "I'm not singer, and I sure as hell ain't Burton Cummings! But If you want the rats to leave the ship; that I can do!"
@@nolaserv And nobody really compares to him! Pretty damn amazing that he's got more heart & soul than Freddy Mercury!
I live in the US, and I’m proud to say that this is the best group of all time. Thank you Canada for sending us these guys. And Burton Cummings, you are the best!🇨🇦
I'm 44 and from their hometown and have grown up hearing their stuff on local radio atleast. Great band in a time that produced some quality music
Best of all time? That’s throwing a lot of shade on The Who, Led Zep, Stones, Chicago , Rush etc. Music is subjective , so stuff it.
@@letsgobrandon5800 it’s the best for me maybe not for you . I love The Who, Led Zeppelin and all the rest. I’m just saying guess who is my favorite
@@jimpuff8409 I get that, but the greatest of ALL time?? Come on man.......
@@letsgobrandon5800 They're ten times better than the Beatles at least.
My god, i got the chills! These guys have been one of my favs since the 70s! Burton cannot be touched on vocals! Just bad ass!
When Johnny Cash is there you're sure to be a star.
Grew up on the Guess Who and still listen to them all the time. This is timeless music, as good today as when it was recorded.
What a run these guys had! They dominated the charts with 8 fantastic singles starting with 'These Eyes' up to 'Share the Land'.
I absolutely love the band.
ya, they were right up there with CCR. Tommy james, Three Dog Night in those years
Grew up watching these guys in Winnipeg ,70 years old now and they still Rock , should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Who needs the R&R HoF! Everyone knows it’s a sham colored by the biases and politics of those who poorly manage it. The Guess Who and Burton Cummings are in the REAL Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. The one in their fan’s heart and soul where they have always been and always will be, along with all the other bands and artists whose moving music reaches deep inside to stir the passion and emotion of our souls and to lift us up.
The Guess Who produced some of the most timeless classic musical gems this world has ever heard. And Burton Cummings vocals are simply THE BEST this side of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Were you in to hockey as well Brian? I'm 44 and learned music through my dad who is also 70 and had a stint in the NHL....from the peg
The backing vocals and harmonies are just amazing. And Burton Cummings; he's the freakin' man!
Simply THE BEST. There’ll never be another voice like Burton Cummings. His songwriting ability is WORLDCLASS, and his vocals, OH those Burton vocals! They are the Crème de la Crème! When the time comes for him to leave this mortal life, there is a choice seat awaiting him in the choir of the angels above. I wouldn’t doubt he’ll step in as their frontman. The day he leaves here will most definitely be our loss and their gain.
Peace and Love to you, Brother Burton. Thank you for all the years of sharing your wonderful gift of music with us here on Earth.
This was live. I saw it on that show, sitting around the TV with my family. The Guess Who brought generations together in a way. Even my parents had to give it up. I remember it like it was yesterday. These songs were so good. And still relevant today. Cummings and the Bachman brothers produced some generational music. Amazing stuff from a group in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This is brilliant. I love the collaboration with Mr. Cash.
Makes me proud to be from The Peg! Never thought I’d ever hear Johnny Cash say “Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada”. Love it!
Johnny would have been familiar with The Peg having played several times at the old Winnipeg Auditorium by this point in his career.
David Lisowski wow really? I actually had no idea that he had played here at all!
@@VH103 there are a few archives of his concert tours online.
No "auto-tune" no lip-sync...so DAMN refreshing to see real TALENT perform LIVE, without artificial backup.
And whoa! A great Johnny Cash-Guess Who intermingle of songs!
LOVE IT!!!
What I love about Cash is he invested in his guests and two artists mesh so well. Quite beautiful moment.
Johnny Cash and The Guess Who. That's like the World Series and Super Bowl times ten!
brett taylor Johnny, unlike most country stars, was open to all music, except maybe opera. It was the rock world that awarded & honored him before country music did. I was stunned when he teamed up with Rick Rubins, the last person to work with him. Who would’ve thought he’s do a cover of Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt”? But he did & not only was it great, it was the last video he performed. He died shortly after to join the love of his life & soulmate, June
MyCountry canada
haha thats another language to me, not sure what I'm watching but love Johnny Cash (from NZ)
@@susanheinz5804 I consider Johnny more of a rock icon than a country icon and I think I’m not the only one too
One of the greatest bands of all time. This lineup especially.
One of the best voices in rock music.
I just love the Maple Leaf Flag displayed on the oiano...Viva Canada! You have always blessed the world with great rockers! I speak for many US folks who are thankful and grateful to our Northern Cousins for all the love you have shown. It doesn't go unnoticed or appreciated. 😍
The world was insanely cool 50 years ago...
But at the time we all thought the end was near. The war was going to go nuclear and as a teenage boy I was concerned about the draft and if I would have to go fight a war I didn't believe in. Still, I was racing motorcycles, living at home and generally have a good time.
One of the most underrated lead singers.
Burton Cummings, one of the top ten rock vocalists ever, went to his concert a few years ago in Cornwall, Ontario. Still sounds amazing.
Burton was ahead of his time. This band was magical together.
I work with old old timers they introduced me to the coolest music ever. Thank you old timers!
Trolling through UA-cam. I am just overwhelmed with the amount of wonderful music we had during the 60s and the 70s and yes even the 80s. Kind of fizzled out during the 90s it was.
Born in 63 during the golden era of great music and songwriters
Born in 54, and I agree.
@@jeanettesmith765 53 for me😇✌🌻
Um, are you sure you mean "trolling"?
Awesome live performance by the awesome Guess Who.
"You got brothers and sisters that care what's going to happen to you a year from now"! No more sadness no more sorrow. Dig each other. Words to live by in this pandemic year.
Bless you sir!
Wine, naked women, and The Guess Who!!!
Band sounded great. Tight, perfect timing, nice harmony and slick sticking by Peterson. But wow! Burton Cummings was a force of nature with just a powerful and soulful voice. Special talent.
A masterful performance. Vocals were top notch. Gary's drumming was impeccable. Kurt Winter...just wow....Kurt Winter
Gary Peterson is seriously one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Not flashy, but as solid as granite. Creative with wonderful flairs and fills in a very distinctive style that was all his ... identifiable to anybody who knows just how great he played! Thanks for pointing that out!
@@chadbennett7873 Garry’s birthday is today!
And yes,,2 r’s in his name….
@@Formula-602 Happy Birthday, Garry!! You are remembered with appreciation and respect!!
@@chadbennett7873 As a drummer, Garry inspires me, great great playing.
They absolutely killed it that night. Awesome.
superb rock and roll voice, while at the same time melodic and soulful. One of the best voices ever.
A band that never received the respect they deserved. Vividly remember watching this the night it first aired. The Johnny Cash Show was one of the few places outside Ed Sullivan where you could see a rock star on TV at the time. And it was a wonderful time to be young. ;)
❤One fine Canadian export, oh baby!!♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Some great music from Canada!
I remember being 10 and watching this with my dad the original air night. He couldn't get past Burton's hair. I love that they're actully PLAYING and not lip-syncing, as most of those shows did. Also, how did they do those harmonies with NO monitors???
?
Got the Canadian flag on stage...so cool👍
Burton asked Johnny if he could display the flag on stage and Johnny said something like "If you as proud of your country as I am of mine, you should." The band did catch some heat about having the flag hit the ground, but Johnny supported them
Powerful performance! I remember as a kid, watching the Johnny Cash show, he was so cool and progressive and had rock groups like the Guess Who as guests! Burton Cummings and the Guess Who in live performance that's rock and roll at its best!
No auto tune. Real singers
That harmony is incredible
Im still livin in the 70's and this is the kind of rock n roll carrys me through ✌
What can I say? The Guess Who Is the Greatest Group I've ever seen! Imagine standing ten feet away from Burt as he sang, leaning over the stage, driving the chicks crazy! What an experience that was!
i grew up watching them in Winnipeg Started when Burton was still in the Devrons
Great singer. Great band. Great songwriting. I still listen to the Guess Who ALOT. Their music is timeless. Love it. Takes me back to 1970's
Check out BURTON tune
"Timeless Love"
in FACT his CD
"Up Close & Alone" is more than
Vunderbahr----
especially
"FERRY 'CROSS THE MERSEY"
🎹🎹🎹
The best!!! All-Time Live Performance of ANY BAND on UA-cam EVER
Made me become a fan of The Guess Who
Watch it over and over again
Burton Cummings voice is outstanding. He still sounds great to this day.
The folks of my generation , that believed in these words then, still believe that one day, we WILL ALL LIVE TOGETHER! Maybe I’ll be there to shake your hand one day, when we all live together! Peace and love!
I was 15 when I watched this on TV. They were SO GOOD.
These guys kicked ass.
Holy Crap was this Good! I suffered with their greatest hits on tape for too many years!!!
Shout out to my home city Winnipeg! My Grandmother grew up with members of this band, hearing and seeing this makes me think of her. Wish they still made good music like this. Rock on!
Saw them in 78!!! Great band!!!
The Guess Who! What can you say, they were an awesome group & had so many great hits...
my parents had an album of the Guess Who's Greatest Hits way back when I was growing up and it was later on in later years that I found out the members names and their music has stuck with me ever since then
Excellent harmony
WOW!! Few singer's with Burton's vocal dexterity. His live performances were always note perfect and delivered with improvisation and clever word play. Not unlike a guitarist who never repeated the same solo. He was at the peak of his powers in 1970. Tremendous backing vocals and Kale in particular.
I love how Johnny cash doesn't even have to try to sing. Dudes natural voice was perfect for his music. N the guess who was amazing
Spear Pig
That is an excellent observation! Who would have ever thought that the Guess Who would appear on the Johnny Cash Show! This is mind-blowing! I nominate The Guess Who for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@@ogredad55 i would of loved to of seen them back in their heyday. Burtons voice was amazing
@@spearpig1034 Most definitely, pal! Burton sang even better "LIVE" than on the albums! I wish I had a video of the Magic that unfolded that night. It was mind-altering!
@@ogredad55 you're a lucky guy my friend! Must of been a great time to be alive!
Wow, excellent performance by the Guess Who!
A criminally underated band.
Dear russallert - My Favorite Band of All Time! It was Awesome being only 10 feet away from Burton as he sang, leaning over the stage and driving the girls into a frenzy! He was much better "LIVE" than he was on the records, wow! 1971 Rocked!
Both these masterpieces are as relevant now as they were back then.
This has to be my favorite group. I grew up listening to them even when Burton had a solo thing going. Just never had the honor to see them or even Burton perform live he is phenomenal talent. Wish I could see him before I leave this earth.
Me too They were phenomenal talent
I grew up just a few hours from Winnipeg and they pretty much made that town their second home. I have seen them many times over the years, both as a group and as solo acts. I hope you get to see them live at some point as both Bachman and Cummings are incredible live acts.
I am in love with Canada,God bless that beautiful land.
The Man in Black introducing one of my favourite bands. Love Burton Cummings' voice. Love the backing vocals. What a sound!❤
This uplifts my soul and crushes it at the same time...every time I hear it. A beautiful concept that makes me happy and one that will never be achieved.
Makes me cry every time because we have no chance of it being true anytime soon. But somebody gave it a good suggestion. “No one heard them calling, no one came at all, cause they was too busy watching those old raindrops fall…”. Another song of hope from 1970.
Wow...the Guess Who were amazing!
Episode aired on TV on October 21, 1970. Filmed at the Ryman Auditorium - 116 5th Avenue N., Downtown, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Ryman auditorium -- grand old opry
Love the Ryman..perfect acoustics there
I was hooked on the Guess Who from an early age of 8 or so. Burton's powerful vocals and the sound of Randy Bachmans guitar WERE RocknRoll for me ! Incredible band and musicians that i will always remember ! So many great tunes from this iconic Canadian band.
No Randy Bachman. He got sick and had to leave the group. That is Kurt Winter, who wrote Share Land.
Burton Cummings wrote Share The Land@@gordongrant444
How cool is this !!?? Two of my all time favorite performers, alternating lyrics - Awesome! Johnny Cash show was so open to rock bands then, and it was a great time for rock music. Thanks Johnny!
I have watched many video clips of classic rock bands, back in the day, and they tend to always be lip synching. In this video THE GUESS WHO is NOT lip synching. They appear to be 100% live and they nail that tune spot on.
Johnny, Burton and the Manitoba crew. Mind blown !!!
was in jr high school when this gem came out. who could have imagined at the time, it wasn't going to get much better than this. talk about living through the gold standard of music. late 69's, early 70's had to be the pinnacle!
These guys were fabulous. Great band.
Cash and Cummings.....hard to beat!
What an awesome find! I watched this on the original airing in 1970. It was the first time I'd seen what any of these band members looked like.
My very favorite vocalist, fronting one of my favorite bands. Loved these songs since I was a kid.
After my parents divorced, my mom worked in a bootleg 8-track tape factory for a while. She would bring home the best music on the planet for us kids. The Guess Who, Jackson 5, Neil Diamond, Carol King and Otis Redding were some of the flavors of my musical diet as a child. I play guitar in a rock band to this very day, because I not only love hearing great music, but also sharing it with others. ✌️👽
I remember the day in 1970 I first heard American Woman on the AM radio riding in a Chevy Impala and being floored
Ever hear the Butthole Surfers version …on UA-cam?..It’s trippy….
Music that has stood the test of time.
I watched this show that night it first aired. My dad couldn't get over Burton's hair and asking "is that a guy or girl?" LOL I was THRILLED watching it, and it feels like I'm 10 years old again. ♥
Saw Burton 4 years ago , one of the best concerts I've ever seen in 49 years of seeing shows !
I have always been a fan of the guess who and I'm 57 years old. My go to group when I want to hear great music. Rock on Burton.
Absolutely ridiculous The Guess Who is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And I am an American and I remember back in those days in the early 70s a lot of guess who are being played on the American Airwaves
Who cares? The rock hall is just an institution with a good name. It's no different than a Grammy, Peoples Choice Award, Kids Choice, VMA, or whatever. Any group or business could create a list of the best "rock" groups in history, and it would serve the same purpose. Ultimately meaningless.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not legit.
Well if they are not in this world's, they are in the next
They should be in the RRHF!!! Brilliant band!!!!
@@gavinturner5565 check this out ua-cam.com/video/TJ0E96QlUCA/v-deo.html
I was born in '67 and missed most of Guess Who's and Burton's and GTO's hits. Thanks to the magic of the internet, I get to relive and re-love Burton and Randy's hits as if they happened today. What a magical time.
Here i am again 2024, always at bed time' Beautiful voice, of all time' ❤
