Guess Who the F?

I just received a blog comment in the recent article about Bachman-Cummings releasing their new album about the confusion between The Guess Who with Burton Cummings, and The Guess Who with the lead singer of Coney Hatch, Carl Dixon.

The Guess Who featuring Burton Cummings performed their final concert at Sarsstock in Toronto, Ontario on August 1, 2003.. which was perhaps one of their greatest concerts to date, in my opinion.

Since that final concert, the licence of the name The Guess Who expired, since bassist Jim Kale owned the name to the rights.

Kale has been touring with his own version of the Guess Who, which features original bassist Garry Peterson, Coney Hatch lead singer Dixon, and two other musicians from Winnipeg.

There have been many venues that incorrectly advertise this lineup of the Guess Who as the Guess Who featuring Bachman and Cummings, if a venue in your area does this, go only if you just want to hear Guess Who music, even if it cannot compare to the Bachman-Cummings lineup, or you can complain to the venue operations to change the signs.. but they may not do anything.

This lineup of the Guess Who is only touring in the United States, they most likely will not be performing any dates in Canada.

There is hope though, the Bachman Cummings Band looks to be starting up a new tour, and could potentially add on American dates as time progresses, as they did in the summer of last year.

The Bachman Cummings Band is, as said in the previous entry, a band that features Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, of The Guess Who.
