The Guess Who brought their Takin' It Back Tour to Canada Life Place in London on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, a stop on the cross-Canada run that reunited Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman as The Guess Who for the first time in 23 years. The reunion followed the band's nomination to the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame, and arrived more than six decades into a career that has long earned the group its "Canadian Beatles" shorthand. Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder opened the night with a 7:30 p.m. set before the headliners took the stage.
The Guess Who began their performance at 8:45 p.m. and played for roughly an hour and fifty minutes, closing out at 10:35 p.m. After a taped intro of "Hang On to Your Life," the band launched into "969 (The Oldest Man)" and moved quickly through an 18-song main set that leaned heavily on the catalogue London audiences came to hear, including "These Eyes," "Laughing," "Undun," "Clap for the Wolfman," "Star Baby" and "Hand Me Down World."
The back half of the set delivered the band's best-known material in succession, with "American Woman" — opened with a brief "Roadhouse Blues" snippet — followed by "No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature" and "No Time." Bachman's Bachman-Turner Overdrive years also surfaced through "Let It Ride" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," while Cummings' solo track "My Own Way to Rock" rounded out the main set.
The Guess Who returned for a two-song encore of "Share the Land" and a closing "Takin' Care of Business." The London date sat midway through the tour, between a June 1 show at Hamilton's TD Coliseum and a June 5 stop at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, the band's home city.
