[Heeplist] Only 1 original member?

[Don Malecic]

Oh Bob the Guess Who is coming?
That is a special treat.
Has anybody seen them live doing their 12 or 13 minute rendition of
American Woman?
I have a copy of Guess Who live in Winnipeg and that song live blew me away
. Bachman was a monster playing it.
The Guess Who , Probably the best gift Canada has given the music world.
