THE TOUR
Three Dog Night and The Guess Who toured together in Australia and New Zealand in late 1972. This tour was a part of the extensive touring both bands were doing during that time, and it was a significant event for music fans in Australia. Both bands were popular in the early 1970s and had a string of hit songs.
There was a domestic airline strike in Australia at the time so The Guess Who and Three Dog Night travelled the entire continent by train.Â
Three Dog Night was formed in 1967 in Los Angeles, California. The band members included vocalists Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells, along with a group of talented musicians backing them. One of the distinctive features of the band was their powerful and harmonious vocals. The three lead singers complemented each other's voices, which contributed to the band's signature sound.
Three Dog Night had several chart-topping hits, including "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," "One," "Eli's Coming," "An Old Fashioned Love Song," "Shambala," and "Black and White." These songs helped establish the band as a mainstay on the pop and rock charts.
The Guess Who was formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in the early 1960s. The members on this tour were Burton Cummings (vocals, keyboards), Garry Peterson (drums, vocals), Bill Wallace (bass, vocals), Kurt Winter (guitar, vocals) and Don McDougall (guitar, vocals).
The Guess Who had numerous hit singles, including "American Woman," "These Eyes," "No Time," "Undun," "Share the Land," and "Laughing." "American Woman" in particular became one of their most iconic songs. The band's music featured a fusion of rock and pop elements, characterized by strong melodies, memorable hooks, and the distinctive vocal style of Burton Cummings.
Seeing both Three Dog Night and The Guess Who together in concert would have been an exciting experience for fans of classic rock and pop music. These two bands were known for their catchy songs and energetic live performances, making a joint concert an unforgettable event.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
