If anyone has this, I'd be very thankful for a dl

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, and it's an concert-so you can hear the audience:(

Thank you, we found that one but trying to find something without background.

So you don't want the Guess Who extended version? Bachman was in The Guess Who when they recorded it originally, so it's hard for me to tell if any versions are actually BTO recordings, and not Guess Who recordings. I have this, but I don't think it's an extended version...

I'm honestly not sure but thank you so much for this. I'll ask my aunt about it tomorrow.

Keep me posted! I'm good at finding things. :)

Do you know if there's any difference between the two versions?

As far as I can tell, all of The Guess Who versions are the traditional lyrics (they start with the riff and the "American Woman" lyrics--what is at about the 1:00 mark here). This one is closer to the Youtube video above, with the "she's gonna mess your minds" at the beginning. It's 5 minutes long, and the original GW version is 3:55, so...it's technically extended. :) There are some extra guitar riffs in there, too.
