This is the last time Max Webster would play together for nearly a decade. They were headed to catering after soundcheck when Kim told the band he was leaving.
Alex Lifeson recalls: "I remember pulling into that gig and all the guys were sitting on the grass and they looked so despondent. 'Kim's had enough. He can't take it anymore. He was on a flight this morning and went home.'"
And without much fanfare, this is where the Max Webster story ends.
Until 1990.

"I asked Terry to express his feelings into the camera, and he did it so succinctly."
