Max Webster's first (and only) headlining UK shows were at the famous Marquee in London. They were initially schedule for June 7/8, but were pushed back a day.
Kim plays a bit of Rush's Xanadu in Coming Off The Moon, and later the band do an impromptu bit of Del Shannon's Runaway near the end of Toronto Tontos. By this point in the tour, fans were throwing cigarettes onto the stage during Toronto Tontos at the "no cigarettes, no a-matches" part.
Even though Max's first two albums weren't released in the UK, the crowd still knows the tunes very well. The band had chopped off the last chorus of Toronto Tontos for well over a year, but they bring it back for this show for their newfound fans to enjoy.
Let Go The Line is released as a single in the UK today, but they opt not to play it at the Marquee gigs.

Out of over 1,000 live shows the two Marquee ones rank in my top 5 of all time. It was brilliant from the moment I saw them at the Hammy supporting Rush, to having a bite to eat with Gary McCracken, chatting with Kim and Pye to getting a ticket signed.
