[@MichaelCoughlanmusic]

THIS IS NOT THE AUDIO FROM THE VENUE, THIS IS THE EP.

[@Luckey900]

Mr. Mitchell , one of the Greatest Canadian Musicians ! World Class !

[@robsmith2111]

..MODERN thrills, rock'n roll that kills! ....good time livin', ...I guess we'll have to be the best bonfire in hell!....the guitar, crushing lead in this tune, Peter Fredette beside him from this time forward,...WOW!...AWESOME Kim in a breakout solo recording. I was a teen when this came out, met Kim at a record store "release party" for signing and have been a good old Canadian fan of his music ever since. This "cassette" in my deck every summer for years after release, a summer line up of tunes driving north, flyin' up the 400 every summer for a visit to The KEE....yeah, many great memories with my brother, and friends! Thanks Danny for posting this. A fun find!

[@Canadasvt]

7 years later and sounds even better 🙂

[@DanielByTheLake]

Was a great tour sooooo good....fond memories

[@RumbleNut441Rock]

I was probably there …. Don't think I ever missed a Max Webster or Kim Mitchell @ the Old Coronet …. We were all such BIG FANS (Kitchener ,Waterloo ,Cambridge and surrounding area)and still are … The shows were always amazing and packed with people…. At times we stood on top of the chairs & tables or just banging on the tables... we were so excited to see , hear … Kim with the new band and songs !!! ..... I believe the 1st Kim Mitchell was not even released yet … He was just trying out the new band and new songs to get a feel for our response to the new Kim Mitchell Band and we.... loved it !!!

[@staggerlee6802]

This was just before my time there. I used to see David Wilcox there later.

[@jasonlindsay4935]

This EP is so awesome, my fav Kim stuff.

[@darrylesch8160]

The good old Coronet!! Thanks Danny.

[@wearetomorrowspast.5617]

Cheers Danny. That is some cool stuff. I got to see Max Webster open for Rush at The Bristol Colston Hall in 1979 in the UK. Still, to this day, the best gig I ever attended. Peter Fredette, one of my top 5 bass -players. I learned a lot from him. Subbed.

[@thebigsuperbeatle]

Absolutely amazing...What a gift !

[@wolfgangweingarten626]

Can't stop watching....life was good.

[@tonystfa]

WOW!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for posting.

[@rickhillier7626]

Wow. I saw so many good shows at this place back in the day.

[@kierajackson5514]

This needs to be re-released what an awesome song!

[@Jeff-cr9yc]

It was remastered and released in the Max Webster Box set a number of years back.

[@craigh5045]

Thanks for posting ! I wasn't at this show but was at plenty of others at the Coronet and Ballingers and...Fed Hall and...I'm sure there were others...ahhh, the good ol' days...

[@bleepbleep1961]

Since I lived there at the time , I just may have been at the "Net that evening !! I think it was kind of Foggy that Night !! lol !

[@MARIO-uf1no]

Jeez, Kim can shred.

[@markchichkan4854]

Brilliant performance. I had the pleasure of playing this room once with Helix.

[@derekjhpeterson3882]

I had the pleasure of seeing Helix play there in 83. Saw you play with them in Saint John NB. It was the last time I had a long chat with Paul. I hear you're back in the Helix fold. Good to hear!

[@bigbaldjohn2064]

What a gem!

[@halon7476]

Those were the days

[@DanielByTheLake]

No kidding....we were very blessed

[@leddygee1896]

This song almost made it on David Lee Roth's solo album, "Eat em and Smile". That would have changed Kim"s life for sure! Steve Vai is a big fan of Kim's playing, for good reason... He's right up there with the best of them IMHO.

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

This time it's the album track playing, no doubt they can play it live, but you can see neither of them are playing the solos at the end.

[@williamweiss6128]

Studio audio.

[@andrerenault]

I would've loved to hear the original audio track, unless it was too low quality.

[@sandymorton828]

I was there!

[@MarkasTZM]

Lesser known(to Americans) Canadian rock from the 70s and 80s continues to amaze me. From Les Pucks to Teenage Head and Max Webster, I just keep finding more and more great tracks and artists. It's like an entire segment of rock has been hidden from Americans for decades and is slowly filtering out through youtube.

[@toddjollimore78]

Paul and Bob wearing the "Black Market" , Donny Troy uniform is awesome! I hope someone gets that...

[@eldonb402]

Thanks so much! I didn't think any video of the first incarnation of the Kim Mitchell Band existed until now. I'm assuming this was a promotional video?

[@dannybailey2882]

Produced for a music video pilot that didn't become a series. Never aired on TV. Only here.

[@eldonb402]

@@dannybailey2882 Well thanks for posting it, it's a rare gem.

[@bruehahaha]

.....deft one of his strongest songs....could picture Vai and Dave covering it....too bad....Kim's my fave Canadian Rock Guitarist....

[@Bass4bassist1]

Kim and Peter it was the start of a great professional relationship, longer then both their marriage as once Kim said in a Bar in Ottawa.

[@glupiter]

Shred

[@charly77ish]

any other footage of kim from this show?did he play chain events?

[@liveclassictunes]

very cool!!!

[@heygringo7]

rock'n'roll that kills!

[@adamsherban7695]

Its a promo video..not a live concert...fade out at the end...

[@glengamble526]

Nope,,it’s live.

[@jmacdermott8871]

@@glengamble526The video is live. The sound is the album track.

[@EliteEasyE]

Lovely 🙃

[@jimmyweese]

This is amazing, quality is great! Thanks so much for the post . Anyone know who's on the kit for this show? I don't recognize him

[@relayer43]

Should be Paul DeLong on drums, Robert Sinclair Wilson on bass and backing vox, and Peter Fredette on extra guitar and backing vox. His best solo career rhythm section by far imo...

[@bubkasaurus]

@@relayer43 - couldn’t agree with you more! Paul DeLong in particular deserves props as he brought an indescribable gravitas to the band - especially live. No disrespect to any of Kim’s drummers, but I think he would secretly tell you DeLong was his dream drummer. As Colaiuta was to Zappa. I’d love to ask him that some day 🙂

[@JohnnyRawks]

Amazing. Was the audio captured live with the footage, or overlaid and synced from the album? If it's actually live, then it's doubly amazing.

[@dannybailey2882]

Sorry to disappoint you. We shot two takes in the afternoon after sound check and then shot live footage the night of the show. Lip Sync

[@JohnnyRawks]

@@dannybailey2882 Never disappointed with these guys. From what you say, I take it that the audio is from the album. I was just curious because my ears are usually pretty good with this stuff. Amazing job either way! Cheers!

[@jrock84ou812]

Ah right on man. Did you guys shoot any other Mitchell shows or other bands? Thanks a ton this is really cool!

[@flybynight6870]

I wonder if my mom n dad were at this? Lol that was their spot

[@philippedeblois1276]

kim for prime minister

[@danosullivan7239]

Miss the strat

[@kitchenerkissguy]

I was probably There

[@rickhillier7626]

Me too!

[@bigdaddyb3071]

Dave Myles on Bass!!! Nuff said!

[@jokodrums]

awesome tune; too bad he never played it much
