Running back to Saskatoon - Burton and the boys =)

[MrJbash4]

Im a North American, and these guys rock!!!...and its a joke The Guess Who isnt in the hall....

[randey1954]

What a great tune by a great great band..if you don't like this you're not Canadian..

[VoiceOfModeration]

its really too bad Canada has a state-funded abortion holocaust.

[polishprick78]

@VoiceOfModeration Don't know what the hell you are even talkin' about. Fuckheaded American. The annual Knights of Colombus sausage fry is this Saturday in Acadia Valley, Alberta. Let's ROCK!!!! Kiss my stones....

[vicious6667]

@VoiceOfModeration and whats even worse is somebody like you bringing an ignorant comment like that into a comment thread such as this.. i mean really! what were you thinking anyway? Oh wait.. my mistake,, you WERENT.. so first off.. we are Canadians and we dont have any "State funded" anything!.. and secondly.. what does that have to do with this video???.. cant you just shut the fuck up and enjoy the music if you have nothing positive to add to this?

[wakaw07]

@VoiceOfModeration You take yourself way too seriously....... moron. lol!!!!!!

[ZigZaggn]

@VoiceOfModeration ok? you're probably christian

[bbeagle64]

@VoiceOfModeration Are you retarded? Get your head out of your ass Yankee

[VoiceOfModeration]

@bbeagle64 Im a canuck actually. Working hard to bring freedom back to my country

[JustWinBabee]

Like the look Burton gives Randy at 3:41. It showed unabashed awe at the performance Randy just completed.

[GimmeKitty]

@JustWinBabee I know, right? There's always been a true comaraderie there, make no mistake about it ...

No matter what, they're brothers in arms!

[thibsteven]

I'm from Michigan, and this is one of the great groups of all time. Are you kidding me that they are not in the Hall of Fame. Burton Cummings has one of the greatest voices of all time.

[daventhalas1]

@thibsteven I'm also from Michigan and I remember back in the day WCSX would always play this everytime they had an "all request" weekend and that is how I got to know and love this song.

[MikeBlitzMag]

The REAL Guess Who. Accept no substitutes.

[GreenerOnTheOthersid]

Please come running back to saskatoon <3

[TheQ97]

FANTASTIC . . . Our Canadian Boys  . . . DID THE SHOW EVEN WITH LIKE

A ZILLION VOLTS OF LIGHTNING all around Them!!! That Is Dedication!!! "THE SHOW MUST

GO ON!!!!" . . . Also, junkie4vids . . . I AGREE!!!

[TheQ97]

WOW!!! . . . way back then . . . when a band had to make it in the States . . .

THEY KINDA DID A NUMBER THAT WOULDN'T CHART!!!

BUT , , , at that time ..... must have gone over Very Well .....  Concerting A Lot

In Canada!!! ALSO, as a Saskatchewan Kid . . . I Have Been In All Those Places!!!

THEY ARE IN MY TOP CANADIAN BANDS OF ALL TIME!!!

[richulan]

The Guess Who is okay! But I like Burton better with the grand piano.

[Brick663]

Nowhere beats the Canadian Praries!

[charlyW34]

Somebody should post a history of all their reunions, as it's pretty confusing. Do not include the ongoing bogus Jim Kale version though. Has to include Burton and Randy. Not sure when, but they did 4 tunes at the Pan Am Games closing ceremony in Winnipeg, late 90's, which led to the awesome reunion tours of 2000 and 2001. Cheers

[Mrbraveharrt]

I seen the Jim kale version. Have to admit they sounded good.

[joeldesmarais]

Nobody disliked that video. And that's how it should stay

[silicon605]

@joeldesmarais TRUE, BUT AFTER THE VIEWS HIT OVER 100,00, THIS IN WHEN THE ILL INFORMED MORONS SHALL HAVE A THUMBS DOWN.......TOO BUSY WATCHING PUSSIES LIKE BEIBER, OR THAT SPOILED LITTLE BITCH WHOM JUST SHAKES HER ASS, RHIANNA.......SPEARS, GAGA, AGELIERE, THE LIST GOES ON........LISTEN TO HENRY GROSS....SONG....SHANNNON.....­..THIS IS HOW SINGER SONG WRITERS WERE MADE, NOT LIKE TODAY. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

[silicon605]

@silicon605 I MEANT 100,000

[mottledbrain]

When I first heard this on the radio I ran downtown and bought the 45.

[CamillusUSA]

This is a great Rock n' Roll band and deserves what the praises the all of best bands receive!

[stargazer2756]

One of my favorites by these guys. I've been following them since 1970, back when I was a young teen. Love them then and love them now. Hey Rock Hall, how about waking up and putting in some true rock royalty like the Guess WHo?!!

From

Cleveland, Ohio

[Sandler41882]

Best voice ever.

[cherribomb1000]

was at this concert! It totally rocked out!

[chrisput1024]

A great song and a nice tour of the Western Hockey League. I didn't think that Randy Bachman would make it through the song.

[StanKindly]

2000 concert in Winipeg, Manitoba...Bill Wallace on bass.

[MikeBlitzMag]

During their painfully short but indispensible reunion a few years ago, this was consistently the highlight of their set and for my money it's the Guess Who's definitive track. With all due respect to the late Kurt Winter, Bachman definitely made it his own, as it should have been in the first place. Someone needs to get the Guess Who name away from Jim Kale and back to Bachman and Cummings, where it righfully belongs!

[Kocis19]

@MikeBlitzMag MAGNIFICO!

[TheInvincibleViolet]

Fabulous !!

[otmmy]

This song Makes me wanna crack open a Pil eh

[jhardng512]

One of the best songs ever by the Guess Who. If you are Canadian (I'm not), then this song means even more. Randy Bachman's guitar solo makes this live version even better than the original.

[meinwinnipeg]

@jhardng512 randy bachman did not play on this track ! I will give you leaway since you are not canuck- but bachman left in 1970 - this track was released in 1972 with kurt winter on guitar

[jhardng512]

@meinwinnipeg Hey thanks for the comment! You are right I am not a Canuck, but I have been a huge fan of the Guess Who over the years and am well aware of their different lineups. What I meant was that Randy Bachman's solo on THIS performance (Runnin Back Thru Canada Tour) was awesome and much better than Kurt Winter's version on Live at the Paramount. Of course Randy Bachman's is also much longer.

[meinwinnipeg]

@jhardng512 bachman did not play on the original -though it is a bit better -bachman left GW in 1970 and was replaced by Kurt Winter in 1972

[bufford4]

Burton is fat-lose some weight and live to play more!

[jhardng512]

@bufford4 Man do I ever agree. Look at him lately. I have always been a huge fan of his talent, but he has always been an arrogant SOB and now he is fat and his voice is nowhere near what it used to be - he has this annoying nasal tone now.

[dougvoice]

In the extended version of "Running Back to Saskatoon" Burton Cummings sings this verse:

I been hangin' around camera stores

I been learnin' 'bout sight

I been talkin' to film makers

I been workin' on eyes

you won't here this verse on the original hit ....

[jhardng512]

@dougvoice Dude you are so wrong. Listen to the version on Best of the Guess Who Volume II. You will hear this verse.

What I like about this version is Randy Bachman's great guitar solo.

[dougvoice]

@jhardng512 ..I was thinking about the "first" version that came out on the radio to make the song a hit.....without bachman

[jhardng512]

@dougvoice Yeah - I know the one you are talking about - I love that version too. That's the one on "Live at the Paramount" and Best of the Guess Who Volume II - right?

I read where Runnin Back to Saskatoon was Kurt Winter's favorite Guess Who song. He co-wrote it with Burt if I am correct.

[jhardng512]

@dougvoice Yes you will - its on the version on "Best of the Guess Who", which was originally on the "Live at the Paramount" album.

[robertlaberge]

Guitar solo instant replay 2:43

(for Randy Bachman fans)

[retiredrev1]

It makes me want to run back to Saskatoon (I was there last in 1975)

[softshoes]

If it weren't for this song 90% of America would think Saskatoon was a soft drink.

It's criminal these guys aren't in the RRHoF.

[lemmah]

Brings back great memories...where ever you're at in Canada...from Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Tennis, Medicine Hat..it's the prairies but covers all Canada...you can rock with this song over and over and over... :-)))

[guytitanic]

Heavy Man!

[wildtrain]

whatta tune!!!! hello Saskatoon from Connecticut!!!! 

[mottledbrain]

Great guitar Randy!

[santo10forHOF]

growing up in Michigan in the late 60's and early 70's, the Guess Who became part of our cultural make-up; living and breathing the songs and spirit of our near neighbors to the  north.

[ontariobuds]

@santo10forHOF..@junkie4vids. When I think of The Guess Who I always overlook the fact that are from Canada, Winnipeg too! I will think of them even higher being a fellow canadianb. I live In Toronto so it is fairly close to home. Not as close at The Tragically Hip they are in the same province, but then again the Hip aren't the Guess Who.

I think Canada has had out fair share of great musicians so far. Don't worry everybody, Canada has more to give. In Canada we are born to rock!

[jhardng512]

@ontariobuds Yeah you are right. They totally belong in the Rock Hall. I live in Cleveland so I should know!

[hotrodheart9]

Agreed...

[telsport]

Big lead git fiddle guy knows what he is doing.

Tom in Utica

[lgcrooks]

@telsport If you refer to the lead guitar - it's Randy Bachman - later of the Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO - as in "Taking care of Business") Has a 2-hour radio show on CBC in Canada now about old rock and it is so cool. The stories, and the history of all the groups and songs is amazing. Continues to tour with Burton Cummings on occasion, and has re-united with Fred Turner (of BTO) to tour this spring and summer.

He has lost a ton of weight, by the way. A mere shadow of his old self now!

[sbsuzysb]

@lgcrooks yes I was driving last summer and just caught about half of his show, do you know what time and day it is on, thanx

[lgcrooks]

@sbsuzysb His show is repeated three times a week. I think it is same time on your local stations (Half-hour later in Newfoundland!). Saturday on CBC One from 7:00 pm to 9:00. Sundays on CBC Two, 6:00 pm to 8:00, and again on CBC One Friday night beginning at 11:00 pm. Also on Sirius Satelite 137, but not sure what time.

[sbsuzysb]

@lgcrooks great, thank you very much, I must try and catch a show, thanx again

[lgcrooks]

@sbsuzysb He has a lot of repeats because of his touring schedule, but I really like the history and connections he brings to the music he plays. Does a theme thing for each show. Some are so-so, but most are great! This video was made at their concert in Winnipeg on their Running Across Canada tour, by the way. Big thunderstorm just before the break, but they came back and rocked the place!

[Turksonbass]

Was that don mc dougal and kale as well they didnt show them long enough to tell what a great song by a great band

[troutboy55]

The Guess Who and Burton Cummings in particular sound pretty damn good to me. I grew up in Toledo Ohio and listened to a lot of The Guess Who on super AM station CKLW in Windsor Ontario and went to one of their concerts in 1970 or 1971. I was going to attend one of their concerts in the mid-90's until I learned there would be no Burton Cummings there. No thanks. Anyway, just a great tune from a great band. If they still haven't made the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame, I say about damn time.

[telsport]

They are in good company on the outside of the Hall of Fame. The Moody Blues, imagine that, arent in, either.

Tom in Utica NY

[troutboy55]

@telsport

Thanks for that little nugget. I wasn't aware of that. It shouldn't surprise me I suppose, but no Moody Blues and no Guess Who in the Hall? Just a little idiotic. I only live 2 hrs. away from Cleveland but just went to the allegedly great R&R HOF once in 1997. With omissions as blatant as these, it'll be a long time before I return. What the hell are they thinking? I'll bet many true rock fans know better.

[snottydyck]

fast and bulbous

[gzrmember1976]

love this song i hear it all the time on q-107 out of toronto yeah

[B52sguy]

Yes they did. And the tee hee hee is as juvenile as it can ever be.

Do you even know where Tellis is? Medicine Hat, or for that matter, Red Deer?

JF

[lgcrooks]

@B52sguy

I think that's Terrace (As in B.C.) not Tellis. So maybe you have some geography to catch up on too!

[B52sguy]

Thanks for the update.

As an American of 62 years of age, and in the year of 1971, I walked from Halifax to Vancouver along the TC.

And I thought it was Tellis, as in Alberta, about 100 Ks S by SE of Lake Louise, literally, in the middle of nowhere.

Never saw a town called Terrace in B.C.

If i am incorrect, please pardon me.

I still think TGW is the very best Rock group to come from Canada, and Burton is the very best

Composer and performer from Canada.

Elton John included.

JF

[B52sguy]

Also, Telus Plaza was not even built when this song was written and performed. That was in Edmonton, formally the Alberta Telephone exchange.

This place was under construction when I was in Edmonton, AL, in 1971.

JF

[B52sguy]

What are you?, a thirteen Y/O metro boy?

[toastichedu]

I was at this concert. It was fine up until it started to rain.

[Zendishwasher1]

legend!

[richulan]

I don't know who is Corner Gas... but the drummer is Gary Peterson, the drummer of the Guess Who since their early days...he has always been a fantastic drummer, listen to their studio-records, especially "Coors for sunday"on LP "Power in the music". Burton, Bachman and all the Guess Who boys have always been my favourites. And remember Kurt Winter, Greg Leskiw en Domenic Troiano. Keep on rockin

[classicrockguy29]

@richulan corner gas is a canadian tv show that used to air on ctv and the guy hes thinking of is brent butt

[beatermatt]

I'm pretty sure the drummer is the guy from Corner Gas!

[tlando]

you can not be serious?

[B52sguy]

You have to be an idiot. The drummer is the great Gary Peterson.

What are you?, 14?

JF

[uhnter1]

bachman and cummings are the shit and son,t ge t the credit.neil young found fane with a bunch of americans in the US were as Bacman and cummings stayed true to their roots and remained in canada,Neil is in the hall of shame and the guess who isnt.? igusees one has to sell himself out>

[0ri0ninh3ll]

ESL?

[Pictor100]

Great video, but Burton's voice sounds buried in the mix.

[MuskokaMarty]

Saw the show last night at Casino Rama and they oened with this...it just got better after that...what a great 2 hours! They both get better with age, aden the opening act Lighthouse was great too after all these years. Super show and all for charity!

[junkie4vids]

The Guess Who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These ultra-talented Canadian musicians are a major part of rock history.

[RogerDeanSmart]

@junkie4vids I totally agree, (I'm 54) I have always loved their music and i listened to them back in the 60's and 70's up to the time Burton left the group. Love his music by himself and with the GUESS WHO!

[canadiantimberwolf1]

@junkie4vids --I Thought they were? Do't they also have a Star on Our Walk of Fame?

[a5a22406]

As Burton says,'It's nice to be home.' Good ole Winnipeg! This is from the closing concert for the 1999 Pan American Games held in the 'Peg. There was a huge rainstorm just before the band came on and thunder and lightning threatened constantly during the Guess Who show. Wpg. also held the games in 1967.

[B52sguy]

Anyone-- Anyone who thinks "The Guess Who", is nothing leass than the best group out of North America, is so diluded, I don't have a word for it except, imbelcilic.

JF

[VandalRoy]

I agree tatnell1. They have to be in the Hall of Fame and Cummins has one of the most unique voices in rock music!

[beefheart67]

this is such a classic makes me wanna party!!

[thebeat42]

Saskatoon w00!!

[tatnell1]

How is that possible that their not in the Hall of Fame (Shame)? Only have time for rap crap today? Anyone who can ryhme two words.

[fluxmuldar]

The ultimate hoser band, meaning it feels like 5 blue-collar guys from the audience decided to walk up on stage and play music.

[gvbezoff]

There is no studio version of this song. The version most commonly played on the radio is from the "Live at the Paramount" album.

[B52sguy]

Let's hear another "Legend" band do anything close to this LIVE performance. Anyone?

JF

[ReDRuM868]

No shit, they are great live, this isn't raw footage but if it was it would still sound flawless because Cummings and Bachman and almost everyone else whos been in the Guess Who are first class musicians and play with a passion that lost in the music of today.

[krogers1048]

gary petterson was there too

[krogers1048]

I saw them in Joliet, illinois in june of 2006 kale was on the bass

[dajidan1]

gary petterson is one of the most underrated drummers, this guy is great. listen to his outstanding work on "key" or undone.

[wrbowcal]

Always amazing live performances, always good.They never sounded bad like alot of bands do live.

[JimmyeDallas]

Randy Bachman is still fat as hell.

[Crouseville]

Pure, balls out rock and roll! It's been dead for over 20 years. The seventies were the best!

[9Notes9]

And that, my friend, is why we call The Guess Who classic!

[Jay351]

Great tune by a great band, anyone got the studio version?

[curtbob]

I don't know that they did a studio version.

[FpMLuser]

Here's a fun fact for you: the Dave Clark Five are in the R&R Hall of Fame. The Guess Who aren't.

[tlando]

i dont think there is a studio version.

[bucketsaremyfriend]

who wouldn't?

[stonesharve]

I would pay good money to see this line up in concert

[restlessdude1]

What ever happened to all of the good musicians like these guys? Real rock and roll that you can understand..

[Tsukamaki]

No kidding eh! My kids treat me like I'm nuts when I try to explain to them about why these guys (& Lightfoot etc.) are legends.

[snoogans999]

YEAH!!! I'm from Medicine Hat!!

[ramitupursnout]

Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, 2 of Rocks legends. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[Vatch1966]

I remember videotaping this show off CBC...The Lightning and rain intensifying during the show.

Happy they didn't have to cancel the rest of the show outright.

[lgcrooks]

Recorded in Winnipeg on their Running Back Through Canada Tour. A fantastic show! As for coming to/or living in Winnipeg - I came here from elsewhere in 1965 and never left. It is my city and my home! Ya' gotta live it to know it, and love it.

If you want to be close to the roots of western Canadian history, and one of the most influential places for Canadian music - it's here man!

And the winters - suck it up. It's one of the things that make us strong. Try the summers - none better!

[lowrevia]

Canrail brought me there in1991, and after 10 minutes i left!!

[pmtiny]

Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!

[FpMLuser]

Every been to Texas? Almost ten straight days of 105 degree heat last week. If I had to choose between Winnipeg and Dallas/Ft. Worth, gimme Winnipeg. Houston even worse. Next Cat 3 hurrican to hit N.O. will destroy the city.

[ewr2112]

fuckin' rockin' talk about tight playin'!

[exit48]

No mention of DOG RIVER...........eh

[bcat44]

Was privileged to see this live in Detroit at Masonic in 70's. Kurt Winter got a huge hand for his immortal solo. This song, and band were huge favorites in Detoit where folks love Canada, right across the river.

[Debilee]

Love ya Burton!!

[myunclesnephew]

best song ever written about the Canadian prairies

[regansux]

great song

im from saskatoon

[Dollarbob]

the prairies are a real shit zone and a laughing stock of the country. people dread going there. i would hate it...being around hick farmers all day in the desolation. and the winters are shitty.

[gangsterdrester]

You must be from Toronto.

[Dollarbob]

no. i am not.

[ChristopherTupper]

lol, that's funny half the country would hate living around, you... at least the hick's have some class

[notionsradical]

christopher tupper is gay

[ChristopherTupper]

lol, that's the best come back, you got, lmao... go back to public school it's obviously where your maturity reached it's peak.

[karlross4]

exactly

[goudwa]

Have your travelled all of Western Canada?? Maybe you should appreciate this whole country and the freedom we have, Live in the states right now and see if you can hang on to your house, job. Canada rocks, from a true Albertan, and proud of it!!

[RadicalNotion]

i appreciate the good parts only (i am dollarbob).

[lgcrooks]

Well, things ain't going so bad here either, in Manitoba, home of the Guess Who. We're looking to have some of you guys come here to help out. Not enough workers for the big projects going on and coming up! So far, the US economy has not been a big deal here.

Meanwhile, dig those Prairie rockers!

[11kingnick11]

The last of the real rockstars.

[lgcrooks]

Who is monitoring this website?!! Please! Hatchetwounder should be banned!!

OK HW, I have just incurred your profanic, mindless, uneducated, digusting wrath like others, and I expect, in fact welcome, a reply. Crawl back into your cold, dark, slimy, damp hole, you worm.

'Nough said about him/her. If you want to sign a petition to get these guys into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, google "Guess Who petition" (but don't use the quotation marks). More than 11,000 have signed up so far!

[midlynn]

HideUrLoveAway, I totally agree. Amazing voice, STILL! His newest dvd is awesome! He sounds a bit diff, but still GREAT! I don't think I have ever heard a better voice in rock than his. There are a lot of good voices, but I think his is tops!

[HideUrLoveAway]

if anyone thinks that Burton's voice is shot or weak or bad, go check out the tracks from his new album at his myspace. this man has an amazing voice.

[midlynn]

hatchetwounder is a moron. The first idiot I have seen anywhere that put down Burton Cummings. Obviously a true idiot. Ignore......

[hatchetwounder]

"fuck off and die"? Brilliant, absolutely first rate commentary. I really hope that the likes of you do not represent your country of origin, for if they do, the world is in a world of hurt. Best wishes to you and your fragile ego and dull-witted nature.

[hatchetwounder]

continuing.......

Wow, I have heard of the pot calling the kettle black, but you really have set a new standard. You may want to search your true FEELINGS (obviously not logic) as they are egregious in there nostalgia-driven source. Maybe college courses in music production and

critical analysis would assist you, get you over taking view points contrary to yours personally? Yes, that would really help. Keep the fine work, you genious, you. LOL LOL LMAO!

[beatmastert]

Ok, you're an idiot and a pompous asshole, now fuck off and die...

[midlynn]

Burton Cummings can still deliver. He is an amazing artist. You are obviously not a music lover. And you certainly have no ear for music.Keep your day job, you are NO critic, fool! And you are a pompous ass to boot. Must suck to be you.

[hatchetwounder]

I have been researching Burton for a while now,and have found that the last time he even sounded like himself was a live show in 1974 on tv. Man, he really blows now-very forced and no edge/grit like the dude on Amer.Woman of yore. Just listen to the transistions and this was 11 years ago--just depressing to listen now. I think once he began donning the mustache he began going downhill--just research his performances cronilogically if you don't believe me. Sad to see a giant dwarf

himself. :(

[beatmastert]

hatchetwounder, you're an idiot.

[hatchetwounder]

Ooh, what incredible insight and oh-so damaging to someone grounded in logic rather nostalgic emotion: "Hatchetwounder, you are an idiot." Now, help us out here. Someone that has excellent written/verbal skills, accurate and insightful analysis ability, is educated, and considerable musical performance, composition, and production expertise is an idiot? To be continued..........

[mitts61]

This is from 2000, not 1997.

[dtectv]

Moved to Edmonton 6 months ago from Saskatoon. Hated it then, sure miss it now

[GreyWIZERD]

been there done that, back in toontown. See you soon!

[GreyWIZERD]

been there done that, back in toontown. See you soon!

[jeffkahl]

funny though that McDougall really doesn't factor into much of the history of this band. He and Greg Leskiw (who was around with Kurt Winter for Share The Land and Rockin) were kinda transitory players. I read somewhere that had Jim Kale been on the level and Kurt Winter still been alive it would've been Burt, Randy, Kurt, Jim and Garry. This is still a great performance but it makes you wonder what it would've sounded like with the other guys...

[mitts61]

How would you read that anywhere? It's not even close to being true. McDougall, who is lifelong friends with Randy and Burton, was always the first consideration for 2nd guitar. Bill was asked when Kale couldn't stand up straight. Coulda woulda doesn't even come into play when one of the guys is dead and the other has let himself go completely.

[mitts61]

PS Donnie wasn't transitory. Leskiw bailed before the Paramount gig and Donnie was called in to save the gig since there was no one guitarist who could take Randy's place. Donnie played a steady role in the band and was a perfect addition since his vocal range is so close to Burton's that his backups were phenomenal.

[gvbezoff]

If you would like to see the whole show, you can order the DVD from Randy Bachman's web site.

[theamazingzeno]

This ain't a song you should play in Toronto these days...

[Jeari]

This tune is in my set list every night. If it weren't for the Guess Who, Canadian music would have taken a lot longer to hit the international music scene. I am truly thankful for their hard work. Playing their music is my way of saying "I remember, and I am thankful."

[videoace001]

really sounding good. i would like to see the whole show

[GimmeKitty]

HAWT Ziggety Ding-Dang Dog!

This is some hot-ass Shit.

THANK YOU :)

[burfoot69]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[ACAP48]

I was at this show it was in Ottawa at the Tulip Fest 2005

[VTActor007]

Someone needs to tell Wikipedia then cause it says "In May 1997[1] in their hometown of Winnipeg, Bachman and Cummings reunited in for the first time in 10 years, During the concert it began to rain, thunder, and lightning. Through the rain Cummings kept singing at one point Cummings said that if the audience didn't leave he wouldn't either, and he didn't until the lightning started to strike. It was a temporary pause, though, and the concert continued a short time later."

[mitts61]

They're mixing up the gig Burton and Randy did at the Forks for the Flood of the Century Relief Concert. That happened in May 97.

[snowybwm]

This is not 1997, it's 2000 - from the Running Back Thru Canada DVD.
