This website is the most complete chronicle of the shows performed by Max Webster over their 35-year history.

If you feel you have anything you'd like to add - particularly if it's related to a show you saw, especially if you took photos or recorded the band - please feel free to get in touch.

No profit is made from this website; it is for entertainment only. I claim no ownership over any of the pictures or material besides my text, and have indicated credits wherever possible. If you are a professional photographer and wish for your pictures to be removed - or perhaps even linked to a website where prints can be purchased, or something of the like - please contact me and I'll be happy to oblige.

Check out the shows!

I'm thrilled to report the second edition of my coffee table book "Max Webster: High Class" has been printed (in Canada !), and as of November 2025 is now available for purchase !

It's a 12" x 12" full colour 450-page coffee table book telling the band's story like never before, with hundreds of previously unseen photos ranging from the pre-Max days in the 1960s to their final reunion in 2007. The book definitively chronicles their history, as a decade of research has resulted in torrents of new information about their concerts, creative process, and their fight as the underdog against a changing music industry. It was produced in collaboration with all of the band members and has been endorsed by Kim Mitchell. The Toronto Star and Alan Cross reviewed it shortly after its release.

Like the first time around, it will be a limited run of 1,000 copies. The first edition was 400 pages, and this expanded (and authorized) second edition is 50 pages longer with a boatload of additional images. There are also new interviews with band members, over a hundred new gig dates and related stories, and contributions from Kim Mitchell himself, including a score of photos from his personal archive going back to 1975. It seemed impossible that this band's history could be made any more complete, but I can assure you, the additions are going to utterly blow your mind.

You can fetch your copy of the second edition at highclassmax.com.

"This is a labour of love that does not hide its heaping amounts of both." The Globe and Mail

"It's a beautiful production of which you have every right to be proud." Philip Norman, author of "Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation" and "John Lennon: The Life"

"You did such an amazing job on the book. I can't thank you enough." Paul Kersey

"The book is a MASTERPIECE!!! I can't get my head around the amount of work you put into pulling all this information together." John de Nottbeck, producer of A Million Vacations

"I'm speechless at the amount of research. With each page I'm astounded with your journalism." Robert "Fuzzy" Frazer, monitor mixer for Max Webster in 1980/81

"Never in my library of music books have I seen a book with so much depth, with so much heart, with so much love, and may I say so much understanding of the world of music." legendary CHUM-FM DJ David Marsden

“Max Webster: High Class is a result of seven years of unbelievably in-depth research by Bob Wegner. A labour of love from beginning to end, Wegner deftly weaves together an incredibly impressive chronicle of the vast majority of gigs Max Webster ever played with a well-written narrative of every aspect of the band’s career. The text is complemented by a stunning array of photos of the band on and off stage, advertisements, tickets and other memorabilia. The result is an encyclopedic tribute to one of the most original and ultimately underrated bands in Canadian rock history.” Rob Bowman, Grammy-winning music historian and Professor of Ethnomusicology, York University

"This is really, really good. I'm such a big fan of somebody doing something to preserve Canadian music history, and it is just jammed with stuff. If you're a fan of Max Webster, and you can't really be a music fan if you're not, pick up this." Alan Cross, radio broadcaster and music historian

The release party was a resounding success! You can read my take on it here.
