Max Webster

Highlander:
... and a regular slot on local radio...

mc2NY:
I saw them a few times back in their prime, since I lived/played on the same club circuit.

Billy Sheehan actually did a stint IN Max Webster in the late '70s between Talas incarnations but I've never seen him mention it, so I'm guessing that maybe it didn't go well.

Pekka:
This is probably their best of the prog songs, or the "Moon" songs


Dave Stone on keys. The studio version has a great synth bassline but Dave Myles doesn't do badly here with his Precision.:) Gotta love those Taurus pedals at the end too.

Pekka:
Hooray!

No bonus tracks but the booklets got me drooling already. Hope the rest will follow, especially if we could get an expanded "Live Magnetic Air".

I'm a big fan from way back. Saw them open for Rush back in the day ...... many brain-cells ago so I don't remember exactly what tour ..... must have been around '79. I became a true believer and followed Kim Mitchell's career religiously (as did many Canadians of my generation) and saw him with his own band at least 5 times over the years. He does a radio show in Toronto on Q107 and has a huge following but he still goes out on tour every summer doing small festivals and soft-seaters, mostly in Canada I believe.

Disagree. While it's arguably his finest hour both in terms of songwriting and production, Akimbo Alogo has a real live, raw feel to it (as does Shakin' like a Human Being) and was the culmination of all of his songwriting (angst) leading up to a major release post Max. Plus, the rhythm section of Robert Sinclair Wilson on bass and Paul DeLong on drums was the bomb! I think Peter Fredette switched over to bass from rhythm guitar for the Rockland album.
