Great band for sure. What a great head on his shoulders and attitude towards life.

Love The Box. Once saw them live on a Concert on the (Citadel) Hill in the early 90’s. Fantastic show!

Great interview. Always a fan of The Box! I remember fondly when I went to see Marillion. I was a Spirit of Radio listener but also a prog rock fan. I think the gig was 1985ish at The Masonic, north of Bloor. The Box opened and blew them away. Jean-Marc I recall, well into their set, was realizing the crowd was really getting into them. Checkmate was the song where they had the crowd dancing. At a show for a late stage Prog rock band! He was trying to get more volume, looking backstage waving his arms up vigorously but their equipment was at the limit. One of the few times I went to a concert and was truly entertained by an authentic band connected with the audience.

Saw the Box live recently. Great show!

Great guy!. I wish I heard this band sooner. The U.S. wasn't promoting their material in the 80's.

I just flew from BC to Ontario this past month to see the Box play two shows earlier this month. The 80s was an amazing time for Canadian music but very few acts actually made it big south of the border and got proper airtime in the USA.

@@patrickstarrfish4526 You need to live in Buffalo or Detroit (or Northern NY...where Viggo Mortensen grew up) to get Canadian radio. A lot of my friends from those areas know Canadian bands...a lot of them come over to play in DET/BFO.

Oh man! I well recall seeing a great show by The Box, at Ontario Place Forum (?) back at their peak. And I believe it was CFNY who recorded it and broadcast the show some weeks later. I skipped out of my evening shift at TEG Hospital, to scoot home and tape it! I know I still have that cassette somewhere, and for decades meant to transfer it to digital. But sadly my cassette deck died before I ever got around to that :( If anybody ever did an official release of that show, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I still have my visual memories of Jean-Marc doing his onstage clothing changes before "All This Cash" too...
