Ha-
Kim wasn't there, but I've been a huge fan since I saw Max open up for
Rush in 75 @ Massey Hall. What a great innovator. Max's early stuff
was too FM for AM (!@#?) and it went over the heads of a lot of folks, (plus
he
got pretty crass in the early days), but I'll never forget seeing "Gravity",
"Lily"
and "Here Among The Cats" on a hot summer night at the Kee to Bala in
Ontario's cottage country in '76. I also promoted a few shows with them in
the
late 70s as well as Triumph, Stampeders, David Wilcox, April Wine and a
few other notable Canadian acts...
Some links:

This is fun.
