Search - Guess Who :: Extended Versions

And the answer is.....

"Ten songs from the exact same concert in Seattle that produced "Live at the Paramount." However, the running times of many songs are different and a few have been shortened. Pretty funny when you consider the title, "Extended Versions." For example, American Woman went from 18 minutes on LATP down to 6 here (well, that might actually be a plus...). I'd list the tracks on EV, but why bother. For just a couple of bucks more you can purchase a brand new, remastered edition of Live at the Paramount. It has twice the material, full versions of every song and showcases The Guess Who at what they did best, play live. For those of you still debating buying this title from the Extended Versions series (there are some good ones, just not this one), the sound quality is very good, but then again, so is the sound quality on the remastered LATP. I'd have given this CD minus ten stars if I could because the best song that came out of that concert, the six minute plus, rock smoking masterpiece, Runnin' Back To Saskatoon isn't even on this CD, yet Glace Bay Blues is! What were they thinking? I've wasted way too much time typing this review, already. Just go buy the remastered Live at the Paramount and try and forget this abomination was ever even issued."

"Tracks on Extended Versions:



TRACK TRACKTITLE

01 Share the Land 5:09

02 Rain Dance 2:53

03 These Eyes 4:02

04 Sour Suite 3:58

05 Hand Me Down World 4:00

06 Albert Flasher 2:42

07 New Mother Nature 4:21

08 Glace Bay Blues 2:51

09 American Woman 6:09

10 No Time 6:05



The original release of Live at the Paramount (LATP) had only 7 tracks. This Extended Versions CD has shortened versions of the missing tracks and includes American Woman so you don't feel completely ripped off (but again it is a shortened version).



I agree with the reviewer who said get the new complete and remastered Live at the Paramount which has the complete concert with truly complete versions. It makes this CD totally unnecessary.

AND NOW FOR THE BIG QUESTION...
