The Guess Who Turn Back the Clock at Pine Knob
Classic rock fans got exactly what they came for when The Guess Who took the stage at Pine Knob Music Theatre. While severe weather delayed the evening and kept opener Don Felder from performing, the wait was worth it once Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, and the band finally walked on stage. From the opening notes, it was clear the legendary musicians still know how to command a crowd decades after these songs first hit the radio.
The setlist was packed with timeless hits, including "These Eyes," "American Woman," "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature," "No Time," and "Share the Land." The crowd sang along to nearly every chorus, proving these songs have lost none of their impact over the years. Randy Bachman also treated fans to Bachman-Turner Overdrive favorites like "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and "Takin' Care of Business," giving the show an extra shot of energy. Burton Cummings' voice remains remarkably strong, and the chemistry between the two longtime bandmates made the performance feel genuine rather than nostalgic.
Even with the weather causing a late start, The Guess Who delivered a performance that reminded everyone why their music has stood the test of time. There weren't flashy production elements or over-the-top effects. Instead, the focus stayed where it belonged: on great songs, talented musicians, and a catalog that continues to connect with generations of rock fans. It was a night that celebrated one of Canada's greatest rock bands and left the Pine Knob crowd heading home with a soundtrack of classics stuck in their heads.
