    I remember listening to this on Chez 106, Ottawa. Grade 10... great stuff. Pretty much everyone in my high school was a huge Max fan, especially the musicians.

      Me too! I was just thinking about Chez 106! I saw Max Webster in '76 when I was attending at Brookfield High school when they opened for Rush in '76. I'm disappointed I never hear this band on Classic Rock Radio. Great CANCON and beats hearing the stuff that always gets played.

    This is better than Live Magnetic Air. It should have been their first live album ~ a double live album. The quality is superb.

      You'll find a few other contenders on this channel from the 1976-77 period. Enjoy exploring it !
      And if you're this much into Max, you'll almost certainly dig my coffee table book on them too - there are hundreds of great photos contained therein: highclassmax.com

    Still listen to Max almost every day. I’ve been playing drums for 45 years and Gary McKraken was an early inspiration. I still hear myself when I hear him play. Really nice indexing on the video BTW.

    I loved Max Webster, but was too young to see them. Did got to see Kim a couple of times. The infamous Kingswood Theater show and Aurora HS while in college. Great rockers.

    First saw Max open for Rush in Ottawa around 1976. Immediate fan. Saw them many times after that. I think the best show may have been at the NAC for the Mutiny album. "This song is dirty, like finding dandruff on your girlfriends shoes" Kim bantering before Lip Service.

    just SUPERB! Kim quotes captain Beefhart before "Lily" (which is fantastic by the way). i enjoy the moments you can hear Mike play synth bass on the ARP Odyssey. The "Tontos" jam comes from the intersection of Zappa & Return To Forever

    I am so thrilled to have stumbled onto this channel! Fell in love with Max when I saw them support Rush here in 1979 and was so lucky to see them headline at London’s legendary Marquee Club at the end of that UK support tour. I can’t wait to delve into more vintage Max on your wonderful channel. Thank You!

    They had a nice auditorium there. I saw Betty Hill there in 1978 (or 9) and lost any faith in the veracity of her story. They also had a nice art program that a friend took am extra year to attend. They closed soon thereafter, and are now an adult high school, I believe.

    Thx for posting. I recorded this on 8 track back in the day from Chum FM and many years later got it off a torrent site. Always wished Kim, Terry & the gang would remaster and release. Killer version of Lily and Rain Child. Does anyone know if this was the full set and there might be other audio that wasn't on the radio broadcast? HCiBS would've been out by then

    • @MaxWebsterArchive

      They played a few more songs before the recording began, acting as a soundcheck - they did Oh War!, Here Among The Cats, Gravity, and Don't Be A Moon. Here's a review of the gig on my Max site:
