June 5th 1976, Glasgow, Scotland. As part of “The Who Put The Boot In” tour, The Who performed with support acts Widowmaker, Outlaws, Streetwalkers, Little Feat and some local boys, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I was there!!! ;-)
I had the 45 record. If you play it right until the end and turn the volume way up, you’ll hear (as it fades out), “goodbye American Woman…goodbye American sh! t”. I kid you not.
Then Randy Bachman formed Bachman Turner Overdrive. “Not Fragile” was their response to Yes’s “Fragile” album. ‘60s and ‘70s had great bands and albums.
Every once in a while, the rock station would play a comedy routine that I haven’t found online. It was a guy going to a concert. The billing was Guess Who, Who, and Yes!. Still looking for it. Anyone have a link? Thanks!
Rip off. Harry Shearer and David L Lander did an entire bit about this with these bands when they were with the Credibility Gap. Used to be played on Dr Demento all the time.
I would do something similar with my kids when playing Name the Artist. When a song by either of these groups came on I would ask them “Who” or “Guess Who” this is. I can’t say they appreciated it, but they both are good at naming classic rock bands now.

Does Pig like “Them” as well as “The Guess Who” or does he like “The Who” as well as “The Guess Who”?

When “Stupid Girl” or “I’m Only Happy When it Rains” comes on the radio, I always hope someone will ask who this is so I can answer “This is Garbage.”

While “American Woman” was a hit, I was in Vietnam. They didn’t play it on the Armed Forces radio.

Stephan did a very similar strip a couple of years ago. But it was a Sunday, and more involved.
