The live recording of The Guess Who performing "American Woman" and "No Time" at the SARS Fest in Toronto in 2003 came during a significant period of their career, as the band was reuniting for special performances after being active in various forms since their peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Prior to this performance, The Guess Who had released "Shakin' All Over," a collection of their greatest hits, in 2001, which marked a resurgence of interest in their classic music. The concert at SARS Fest was notable not only for its massive audience but also for the band's prominence in Canadian rock history, underscoring their status as one of the first Canadian bands to achieve international fame. The performance showcased their enduring popularity and ability to connect with both longtime fans and new listeners, highlighting the timeless appeal of their music.
