Customer Reviews:

I thoroughly enjoy this DVD!.......2007-05-22

This is a wonderful reunion DVD. The Guess Who sound better than ever, and are obviously loving every minute of it. Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman make this show (of course) - and it's well worth watching and owning.

Guess Who DVD review.......2007-05-12

This DVD is well made and a must for any Guess Who fan. The band still gets it done and really put on a great show for their fans. Great sound and good extra footage as well. All their great hits were done to perfection.

Variable volume ruins this DVD.......2007-04-07

Let me say, first off, that I've been a fan of this band since the late 60's. So I'm no "Guess Who fan come lately," by any means. Let me also say that this is a fine concert -- the band is really on, playing before friends and family during a violent thunderstorm in Winnipeg. The performance is great, and the production (meaning sound quality, in the sense of balance and clarity) is great, too.

So why only 2 stars? Because the volume of the DVD is variable, not constant, as if there were some sort of limiter in the processing. It's loud, then suddenly it's soft, then suddenly it's loud again, for no good reason. And this variability simply ruin the DVD. Since it's highly unlikely this is a manufacturing defect, I'm rather surprised no other reviewer has noticed. Really a shame, too -- if this problem were fixed, the DVD would a priceless addition to the library of any Guess Who fan. I can only speculate that a complete idiot was in charge of the final mix.

Guess I'll just have to stick with the VHS tape of the band's earlier Toronto reunion concert. And when will THAT fine concert be coming out on DVD, I wonder? We're waiting, fellas . . . !

Guess Who - Running Back Thru Canada.......2007-03-16

Unbelievable audio and excellent video! They sound as good as ever and it is one of the finest Music DVD's I have purchased. This is a Classic!

Great to Actually See the Guess Who.......2007-03-09

I have always enjoyed the music from Guess Who but never got to see them live. For that reason I bought their DVD. It fulfills that purpose. The video quality is OK but not up to recent DVD standards. Some great DVD concerts that excel in both audio and video quality are Santana's "Supernatural" and Peter Frampton's "Live In Detroit". Those are both excellent concerts. I have several others but I won't mention them all.

Burt Cummings voice has changed or his style has changed since most of his original early recordings. He doesn't have the deep powerful voice we are familiar with on the early recordings and he now puts a Axl Rose from Gun-n-Roses twang on the end of a lot of his words. I was hoping for more of what he sounded like years ago. I know people change and voices change as the years go by but I personally prefer his old sound.

It was still a good concert to watch and I'm glad I bought it. I probably won't play it many times but good to have in the collection.
