Details

Most of Universal Juveniles is performed at this gig, while there are only four songs from the first two albums combined.

After the second song the band vamp on a single chord and Kim delivers a series of jokes, including some of the dialogue that was part of Mash Moon In Hawaii, which goes back to 1974.

A random audience member plays drums (poorly) on What Do You Do With The Urge, only to be relieved of his duties after a few bars and replaced by Kim, who asks for a mic behind the kit. Gary plays guitar until it trainwrecks half way through, and they each return to their respective posts and finish the song as per usual.

This was almost certainly the final headlining Max show, as they were back on the road with Rush a few days later.

And this... 'Universal Juveniles' gig. I remember how tight this unit was and how great a venue to see them. Still remember those distorted chorused opening chords of Cry Out For Your Life! Amazing that a little tattered piece of paper can spawn a memory.
