Live Magnetic Air was recorded at this venue as well. Two shows were played tonight, giving the band four shows of material to work with from the consecutive nights.
Kim later recalled that had contracted laryngitis and his voice gave out (a review of last night's show says it was already showing signs of strain then), leading them to overdub some of his lead vocals for the live album eventually released in November. Like all Max Webster albums, it went gold (A Million Vacations went platinum).
A fan, Ian Gelb, recalls: "We got the 'no firecrackers on the stage or the guys will stop' speech before they came on. Back in the day it was a ritual to have firecrackers, beach balls, and frisbees at a rock show. They closed the show with Hangover. Max at their finest!"
The audience on Rush's The Spirit Of Radio is from one of these shows in Guelph. When they were working on Permanent Waves, producer Terry Brown asked Kim if he had any audience noise they could use, and he happily obliged.
