On June 10th Margarit and I went to see the Guess Who at Rogers Place in downtown Edmonton. The two original frontmen, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings were there, with a younger backup band.
Randy is 82 and Burton is 78 and although they looked their age, they still rocked it pretty well. They played all their hits, as well as three Bachman Turner Overdrive songs.
Just a day or two before the show the warm up band was announced. It was Don Felder, former guitarist with the Eagles. A very pleasant surprise to say the least. Although his vocals were never great, his guitar playing was spectacular. Sent chills down my spine more than once.... particularly when he played Hotel California on the double neck.
