![]() ![]() The August 2000 reissue of Live at the Paramount on the Buddha label has 13 songs, the whole 75 minutes of music from the first of two shows, and provides the best explanation of how the Guess Who endured as a major concert draw years after their biggest hits were behind them when they were spot-on, as they were that night, they gave an exciting show. The status of the first half, of course, is already assured. ![]() Tractor, however, pull it off, and the second half of The Way We Live emerges one of the brightest jewels in their entire catalog. What might astonish the casual listener, however, is the sheer consistency of the material, a feat that few acts, recording on either side of a 30-year hiatus, can muster. But the majority of the remainder of The Way We Live tracks Tractor through their later years - a 1977 single, "Northern City," and a clutch of numbers recorded during 2002-2003. The main attraction, of course, is a full reissue for the band's 1971 debut LP A Candle for Judith, an eight-track masterpiece that remains as electrifyingly original today as it was upon its release.įrom there, the album moves on to two early-'70s oddities, "Watching White Stars" from 1972, and an alternate version of 1972's "Marie." Another 1970 cut, "One Eyed Mule," appears later in the set. Titled for the name under which Tractor plied their trade around the time of their earliest recordings, The Way We Live is an astonishing collection of rarities, outtakes and more, serving up a stunning snapshot of this most versatile of early-'70s duos. ![]()
