Much Music did so much for the Canadian music scene in the 80's. Simulcasts of The Box, Gowan, Kim Mitchell to name a few. All of whom I saw live when they came to my neck of the woods. Thanks for posting this👌
I grew up 90 minutes southwest of Montreal in far upstate NY. I'd hear many of their songs booming across the Quebec (and Ontario) borders via great radio stations like CKMF, CKOI, CJFM and the legendary CHOM-FM (not to mention CHEZ/Ottawa and others). So many great Canadian bands got zero love south of the border. This is one of 'em!
Dude, I can’t believe you posted this video, I’ve been looking for it since 1986 when I watched it live on TV! I even reached out to Jean-Marc to see if he had a copy. He thought it was lost forever. Thank-you!!!
The funny thing is I'd read on Box message boards over the years that this video didn't exist but I knew I had a decent copy, 😂 I wanted to find the time to get rid of the audio hiss and clean up some of the VHS white sparkles, and finally got around to it,. Maybe it was even comments from you I'd read somewhere else saying Jean-Marc didn't have it.
Incroyable, Jean-Marc a toujours une aussi bonne voix, j’ai assisté au concert du nouveau groupe à Saint-Jerôme après la pandémie. Guy, je t’ai rencontré à l’époque où je travaillais au Fédéral, j’ignorais que tu avais été membre du groupe!
Man, I remember this back in the 80's - had it on VHS as well...tape was long gone and never thought I'd see this ever again!! Thanks very much for some great memories! What a fun time...and an upbeat fun band!!
You're welcome! Been sitting on it forever. Sadly when I digitized it a few years ago I accidentally hit the record button in the middle of "Weekend" and that's why there's a glitch there. It survived 40 years and then I accidentally did that. 🤦♂️
...My apologies, Great Artists, Jean- Marc !, Incredible Singer Songwriter and a Major Staple in Canadian Music!, CHUM radio, The New Music and Much Music always picked Up live performances for Television!...
C'est bizarre la vie, prenez Marie-Carmen qui est back vocal sur ce show, je l'avais croisé une fois sur Mt-Royal à l'époque, au bras de son amoureux des BB, elle a vu que je l'avais reconnu, et m'a fait le plus beau sourire gratos que j'ai jamais vu, mais le plus drôle est que son chum, je l'avais vu 2 fois dans le spectacle Vis ta Vinegrette, et une fois j'ai croisé Dolby Stéréo sur la rue, et elle aussi m'avait gratifiée d'un magnifique sourire. Une autre qui m'a fait un beau sourire une fois alors que travaillais à l'Hotel de ville de MTL est Jobocan, parce-que je l'avais reconnu, et vu en spectacle à une St-Jean sur Rachel si je me souviens bien. Bref, des femmes qui sont vraiment géniales.
Cool! J'ai le plaisir de rencontrer Jean-Marc après un show il n'y a pas si longtemps, et c'est ce qui m'a décidé à mettre en ligne l'ancienne vidéo. The Box m'a apporté une telle joie en tant qu'adolescent, et j'ai pu lui rendre cette vidéo qu'il pensait n'exister pas. Un monde étrange et petit. Thanks for watching!

The band that had Sass Jordan as a backup singer! Then she started her solo career. Close up of her at 29:15.
I was listening to a cassette and The Box came on and I thought this 80's band should not be forgotten. So I looked for them and here I am.
Incredible... Thanks for sharing
What some memories! I went and watched them at the college of my home town. Marie Carmen and Sass Jordan as back vocals... wow!
Marie Aubet
Awesome blast from the past! Great band from my younger days!
Just saw them live this evening at Kitchener Blues Fest - They are still sounding as good as always. A great mix of songs.
Sass Jordan Was Young During This Concert n HOT...

D'accord, il a toujours une superbe voix ! Heureusement, car beaucoup de chanteurs de son âge ont complètement perdu le leur.
Man, I remember this back in the 80's - had it on VHS as well...tape was long gone and never thought I'd see this ever again!! Thanks very much for some great memories! What a fun time...and an upbeat fun band!!
Look at the series Behind the vinyl for 3 videos featuring Jean, complete with rain boots!!
So many more good songs than most bands have, a couple of the best Canadian singles ever, great mixed language moments, still dig it.
Thank you for bringing this back for us!
Ils sont passés autour de cette date au gym de ma polyvalente… Antoine-Brossard! 😅 excellent!!
I love the quirky, artsy Box from this time period.
I have been hoping to see this video ever since that night at Le Spectrum! Thank you, merci mille fois!!!

Absolutely the greatest Canadian female Rock vocalist of all-time. 🤘😍
Merci! ❤
You're welcome! 🍻
Wow thanks for the video, i was there, bring me memories 😊
Wish I was. I recorded this video when I was about 15 and have been sitting on it ever since. Finally saw them a few year ago.
Good times!!! Thanks!
My favourite Canadian band! Thanks so much for sharing this!👏😁
My favorite period of The Box.
I still listen to my Box cassette Ive had for ever and its got my fave Box song: Crying Out Loud For Love
Can't make it out to see them tomorrow night at Kitchener Bluesfest. Thank you for posting this, I've enjoyed it greatly! Fantastic band!
Hope it was as good a show as the one I was at a few years ago. ...But I'm sure it was!
I saw the Box open for Marillion at the Spectrum back in 1984?
Marie Carmen est parfaite😂
El intro, wow wow wow wow wow wow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Et marie Carmen aussi au backup vocals, tres peu de temps avant le debut de sa carriere solo (marie aubut? Must be her real name lol)
..."Live On Tv" never ages (unfortunately), Great Atists , Jean-Luc
