Max Webster

Gasworks Tavern

Toronto, ON, Canada

December 22nd 1976

Remastered soundboard.

There are a few cuts but overall it's quite good.

I used patching and devilish trickery to make it flow reasonably smoothly.

Some great Zappa-esque guitar from Kim Mitchell.

Highly recommended.

Thunderbird Motor Inn

Thunder Bay, ON

September 25th 1975

Reposted from May 2024

Remastered soundboard.

A very nice recording of prototype Max which predates the debut album.

Strange that they were playing Research/Cats so early.

I have a couple of Max recordings I've never got around to posting.

They are probably lesser quality/incomplete

but Terry's death has made me think I should revisit those and share them.

Any Max is good!

June 1977

Remastered soundboard (possibly mics on stage?)

There was a cut in the tape so we lost the beginning of 'Toronto Tontos'.

I just heard that Terry Watkinson died on Saturday.

Here's another show to celebrate his life and music.

Humanities Theatre

University of Waterloo

Waterloo, ON

March 29th 1981

Remastered soundboard.

Some cuts and sound issues but it's generally OK.

It was fairly obvious by this point that Kim was about to embark on a solo career.

They completed a tour supporting Rush before the split

but this is believed to be their last headline show.

They only got to play a 30 minute set (Angel were 2nd)

but there are some bonus tracks from later in the year.

Unknown date/venue for those but they are soundboard

and probably from another Rush support slot.

Max Webster opening for Styx on their Grand Illusion tour.

It takes a minute for the taper to get a good level.

I've tried to mitigate this poor start as much as possible.

In general it is a reasonably listenable bootleg.

October 5th 1975

Remastered single mic recording.

The first track cuts in and the sound takes a while to settle down.

It's pretty good after that.

This is Max opening for Rush.

The talking/taking the piss between songs are Rush crew members.

(so not the sharpest tools in the box)

Fat Rabbit were an underground band. (I'll get my coat)

Gasworks Tavern

Toronto, ON

September 2nd 1975

Remastered soundboard.

Live at the Gasworks

...a venue that looks like it could tell a few tales.

The end section of Peaches sounds like Samla Mammas Manna,

as do parts of Mash Moon in Hawaii,

Hard to categorise Max Webster.

A mix of Frank Zappa and Todd Rundgren?

Barrie, Ontario

May 10th 1980

Live footage from 'The New Music' TV/radio simulcast.

This DVD was sourced from an old VHS tape

so the picture quality is much as you'd expect.

Still very watchable though and the sound is OK.

Terry Watkinson was on hiatus at this point

so ex-Rainbow man David Stone handles the keyboards.
