I'm Singing In The Rain, Oh What A Happy Feeling!
Now here is a live performance that will challenge anybody who has worked on the road and performed outdoors! The Winnipeg audience who had the privilige to enjoy this truly superb live performance must be congratulated..., as nobody left the place that windy, rainny and stormy evening. But how could they? They were watching the legendary Canadian Hall-of-Fame rock band truly show that they still have the sparks to thrill an audience. Bachman and Cummings still have it, my friends. This is a well shot DVD with multiple cameras (you can actually see the thunderstorms as they approach!) to capture the feel and thrill of the evening, and the audio portion is well mixed throughout the entire concert. The 5:1 Dolby Surround will make you feel like you were actually there... wet and all! You can certainly buy this DVD in confidence, as it is a true gem. Enjoy! Ah, yes..., play it loud!

Fun, fun, fun
Another old time fan here. Complaints ... they did not include Orly on the DVD and yes the picture quality is not terribly good, but it not that bad really. Back in 2000, I bought the Running Back Thru Canada cd when it came out, I was a bit disappointed in it mostly because I thought the thing was poorly mixed and frankly sounded like crap. I played it once or twice and put it on the shelf. I figured that this DVD would be a companion piece to the cd and to be honest, I bought it for my collection not expecting much. I put it on and I have to say that this is the most exciting thing that the band has put out in 30 years. The sound is excellent! The sound guys did an amazing job with all of the bad weather and all. The line up is my dream (with respect to Curt Winter) Guess Who and they did not disappoint . It is obvious that all of these guys have been playing music over all of these years because they were "smokin". This is not a typical band reunion of a bunch of 70's used to be's fatties. This is good stuff and make no mistake ... these guys CAN play! The Guess Who version of Let it Ride is worth the cost of the DVD alone. It was obviously a magic night in Winnipeg for this concert. I'm glad that they caught it! I think that it is a must for the hard core Guess Who fan.

Fine running
Yeah, the picture quality of the DVD isn't what it could be, but once these five seasoned pros take the stage in Winnipeg, it doesn't make any difference. This really is great. From "Running Back to Saskatoon" on through the anthemic "Share The Land," Cummings, Bachman, McDougall, Wallace and Peterson are all in top form. What really surprised me (since I never had the chance to see the band live back in the Seventies) is hearing and seeing how great a guitarist Donnie McDougall is. Randy Bachman, sure, he's as terrific here as I thought he'd be, but McDougall holds his own with him just fine and his solos on "Guns, Guns, Guns" (featured in the "Bonus Songs" section) really smoke! <

>Reunions of bands from the 60s, 70s and 80s often end up being very disappointing, but the Guess Who reunion, as seen on this DVD, is a thrill to watch, great to sing along with and, for this 50-something, a great reason to strap on the air-guitar and rock with the band. Real fine!
