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.
