In the two-hour program, Randy Bachman played predominantly classic rock, pop and older jazz music and told stories behind the selections, adding from time to time short musical demonstrations played live, besides frequent personal anecdotes.
[1] Musical selections were commonly organized around a theme, sometimes of Bachman's own choosing and sometimes in response to a request submitted by a listener.
[2] In 2010, Bachman hosted an episode of the show live from the Glenn Gould Studio at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
Titled "Guitarology 101", the episode featured Bachman, McCann, Mick Dalla-Vee and Brent Knudsen talking about various aspects of guitars, including live performances of a number of classic rock and rhythm and blues songs.
Unlike the CBC version of the show, the Corus production included commercials but otherwise had the same format and retained its two-hour running time.
