Thank you so very much for this footage.!. I just made a comment that this is when musicians played their instruments. There was no background tracks or actually I think it's called clap tracks which they use now. Everyone would be amazed when they go to a concert these days to know a lot is pre-recorded and they're playing along with it they're playing along with it. A lot of times musicians just look like they're doing a part where they're playing along. Sometimes they're not even playing at all. For people who are spending a hundred dollars plus on a ticket to know that they're pretty much playing along to karaoke. If they're really playing at all. Thank you so much and take care
Some songs are designed to be great live tunes and others just become that way. Drive and Desire rocks even harder live than it did on Universal Juveniles. What a fantastic version, even with 30 year old footage. I would love to see a concert film of these guys from that era.
Tbh even the biggest Canadian acts like Rush are underrated on a global scale. They should be as big as Zeppelin. Max Webster should be at least as big as Billy Squier... Canadian artists may struggle to get the recognition of those from the USA and UK, but I'm sure it's easier to get known coming from there vs Southeast Asia or West Africa :/
Thanks for this gem!, By the time I was old enough to get to places where I mighta seen Max Webster, Kim had gone solo, which is also excellant music, but Max was a class in themselves!, Would have killed to see Max and Rush together!
I was a 14 year old kid when I first saw the Max Machine, right when High Class came out, set up chairs for a promoter...Max Webster, Goddo, and a mentalist named Mike Mandel, right before they started touring with Rush. Instant fan, followed by MANY more shows. Became a musician after that, still play. The good ol days!
I saw this tour at the Peterborough Memorial center with Wireless opening up. Amazing show!!! I was 14 and hooked on music forever. The next time I saw them Watkinson was back and they had Steve McMurray from Wireless in the band, then they were gone.... Thanks for the memories.
Hi, hope you're doing well. What's really cool about check and music at this time is that they didn't use any backing tracks or as we call them now clip tracks. It's them live playing the instruments and something that not many bands do these days at all. You'd actually be really surprised. Thanks and take care
yeah max was rush's back up band for the moving pictures and permanent waves tours....i saw both tours at joe louis arena in detroit....max was the first band ever to play joe louis arena...and i was there....buddy you saw history, seeing those 2 tours....especially when geddy came on stage and did battlescar, with the websters.....
she stays away from the virus virus, but she lets me in when the lights are low, she comes across to see me see me, she doesn't stay inside when we want to go. she wants to come across like diamonds diamonds, earning a living on this screen while getting paid to shine. She even comes across when it's a cold morning in the drums. Take it to the Max! I used to be The Lone Stranger in Toronto...yeah...
fasteddie777666... I would've given my left you know what to see that... saw the moving pictures tour in edmonton coliseum.. 30 years ago and counting.. still hardcore fan of both

*@TheBudLife67* ``````````````````````````` You must be reading my mail dude. That was exactly my thought as I was listening to this vid... "The Pre-Dream Theater" ~ You've hit the nail right on the head...
@DrMugggles Well, if you disagree with me, then I'd counter with your response to me, that YOU, sir, do not know YOUR guitar. Kim's ear for tone, sounds, his nuance, phrasing, solo construction, talent for rock guitar composition, etc. all make him one of the greats. Not to mention the man was finding "shred" in an era when such a thing didn't exist to any real degree, outside of a select few. But thanks for playing.
@DrMugggles How do you and your family stay connected, then? But in all seriousness, why the insults? Is this how you want to represent yourself? Don't be one of the majority online/on RU-vid who diminishes greatly in civility just because you're "hidden" behind a computer screen. Expect better from yourself.
