      Yep you got it the "Woman" is America herself. Now go back and re read the lyrics and they make complete sense, but totally different then the this is a romance song about not wanting American Women. Greatest Anti Vietnam War song. For instance the American Woman going to mess your mind. Is no we are not going to war with you and slaughter our Young Men so your Military Complex can make Millions. We are going to save 10,000's of your young men by giving them a safe haven. The American Leadership could not believe we would not do as we were told.

    Burton Cummings is a world class vocalist. As far as mics go, he is using a Shure SM58. It's a hundred dollar mic (now), but there are still many singers who still choose that mic for stage use because it gives a good vocal sound and it's built like a tank. I have sworn by them myself for decades now. But even the best, most expensive mic in the world doesn't have a turn up the talent knob on it, LOL. Hand Me Down World, Bus Rider, Share the Land, No Time... these are some more awesome tracks from this fantastic Canadian band.

    Actually, that is a Shure SM58 microphone. That mic currently sells for around $150 and still is one of the gold standard vocal mics in use to this day and has hardly changed since this video was recorded. What probably has changed though is the back end processing which then would have been highly analogue (old circuit and possibly tube technology) vs. today's digital (computer) processing. Having said that, his voice would sound great on any mic.

    Interesting to see them post - Randy Bachman. I think that guitarist is named Kurt Winter? Canadians can correct me. And Burton… All dressed up. I’m thinking that this may be a good seven years after the song was written? Still good, but possible that earlier versions had more energy.

      Bachman left after American Woman was released in 1970. He had converted to Mormonism. Later in the ‘70s, Bachman Turner Overdrive had huge hit, Taking Care of Business. Chod, that’s one for you to react to.

    This was a protest song and 'American Woman' was a metaphor for the US government, US foreign policy, and US aggression overseas. The song resonated with Canadians but also with Americans critical of their own government. It was a risky move by The Guess Who as they're Canadian and risked being barred from the United States.

    So few Americans clued in that the "Woman" was America itself. One of the smartest Anti Vietnam War songs, cloaked in a Relationship song.

    Featured in the movie “American Beauty” (1999). Funny tho, I believe this is supposed to be an anti-war song.

      I think the U.S. was trying to draft them into the army even though they were Canadian?

    I like Alanis Morrisette on David Letterman using the mic with ‘You Oughta Know’.
    The live version with Randy improvising is great even though the original and this version feature a better Burton.
