Prism: "Mirrorman" live

[@vinceyonkers9494]

What a great Canadian. Band don’t think they ever got recognition they deserve

[@johnindahouse8151]

Listening to fond memories in songs, made back when PRISM was a sensation. and still is. John Hall on the Keys.

@aleila101 From my research, Ron Tabak lived the rock 'n roll lifestyle like countless others in the music business---he was no saint, but he was finding his way out of those trappings at the time of his accident. His last recordings are spiritual and he had returned to the values that his family upbringing had instilled. That makes it less of a waste to me. Thanks for the comment.

Have not heard this song in ages. Prism still rocks after all these years

[@VonDrumhamma]

the GOLDEN years.

[@tangerinerose3724]

Loved these guys from day one..a proud lower mainland fan..Had all their albums - Rocket ruled and Rip Ron you are sorely missed 😢

[@williamanderson5437]

Have to say 'Wish I'd been there' - Brilliant Solo by Rocket, & a Terrific performance by ALL.

Way back ,before festival seating ,in Van...thankyou

[@Trouble-Clef]

These vids are great. I saw Prism live in Victoria BC. I don’t know the date but I’m sure it’s the 1970s.

[@daledemanchuk7920]

i am so stoned and stoked at the same time......rock on!

[@Tabakfan]

@nemrac76 The show was aired in 1981--still trying to verify performance date and locate better quality footage. All are welcome to join our unofficial facebook page called Prism: The Ron Tabak Era for lots of memories, concert photos and collectables.

I only seen the original Prism twice, once for the freeze your ass off tour of 78' then 1980 with loverboy opening both times it was a great show and Ron was a very good front man,also the original band by that time was very tight after years of playing shows everywhere , I seen the other version of the band with Allen Harlow but he isn't Ron by a long shot! And while he had competent players with him, it just made me long for the original band...

[@ChuckieInMT]

While travelling to motocross races in the 80's, we made up our own words, as we always had some Canadian rock, like Prism cranked: ...Moto Man - we live our lives to race... Then the words always changed, cuz of who thought they were gonna win the next day. Al, we'd love to party with you guys in Kalispell sometime, just let me know -n- we'll go from there.

@Tabakfan Great site, Al. Will live forever on. Little Sister

[@worldscapes1]

man, i've been looking for this forever! I remember making an audio cassette of the concert when it aired on city-tv in toronto, in the very early 80's... anywhere to find the whole concert audio and/or video?

[@JCMIMPERSONATOR]

@Tabakfan Is there any books out on Tabak? I'd love to learn about this great singer man. If you can direct me to any articles would be appreciated. Thanks~joe~

[@FnCool1]

Oh, he certainly DID SO!

[@EssJay1095]

Thanks Roger I'll try the link. I never saw PRiSM live, as I'm in England, but I do have all the tracks (plus Ron rip, in The Original Crayons 'Don't go Breaking your Heart' & The Canadian beer advert too' - ALL Brilliant tracks.).

[@Tabakfan]

@ThePablocruise Hey, thanks for providing a missing link in my research! This must have been the first of 2 shows Prism did there. Do you still have that tour shirt by chance? PM me if you do.

[@Tabakfan]

@oldbeforemytime67 Still got the T-shirt? ;-)

[@aleila101]

@ArcticFox1095 No, Ronnie did not drink or do drugs. He was a very spiritual man making his early passing even more of a a waste in my eyes. Little Sister

[@MrWigby]

Not according to Rocket Norton book,

[@MrWigby]

According the book Ron had quite an addiction problem with alcohol and cocaine.

[@linzyvixen9913]

This band and singer were the reason I decided not to become an opera singer!

[@Tabakfan]

Sorry for the delayed reply...message me an e-mail address and I will send you in the new year, ok? :-)
