The 'High Class' lineup of Max Webster reunited for one final gig in 2007, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Q107, the rock radio station where Kim was a DJ. Tickets could only be obtained by calling into the station.
They used Frank Zappa's Peaches en Regalia as their entrance music, as this is a song they played in their early days.
Gary McCracken came to the front of the stage to sing A Million Vacations, and during the guitar solo he grabbed a fishing pole and cast out a toy fish into the audience (Robert Sibony played drums). Peter Fredette came out to sing Geddy Lee's parts in Battle Scar.
A Kim solo version of On The Road was on the setlist, but not performed.

A bunch of us without tickets ended up on the guest list, and some other friends won tickets as well. One way or another I was getting in. Rush was rehearsing for their tour next door and we held hope for a Battle Scar reunion... but not to be.

A friend scored me a ticket, and I was not going to miss this. I grew up loving this band, and I was well aware of the fact that this may be my only chance ever to see them. I arrived during Sass Jordan's set, which was great. Alannah Myles played three very long drawn-out songs, and David Wilcox was his usual quirky brilliant self. But we were all there to see Max Webster. At long last they came on, and it was pandemonium in the crowd who had long waited for another reunion. Gary came to the front of the stage to sing A Million Vacations, and with a fishing pole in hand he cast out a plush fish to the audience during the guitar solo - pure fun. Charmonium was also a highlight for me. Battle Scar was epic, with Peter Fredette doing Geddy Lee's soaring parts, and Hangover even had the old "Max Webster dancing" bit they used to do. 75 minutes and it was all over, but it was 75 more minutes of Max Webster than I ever would have seen had I decided to go to work that night instead. One of the best decisions I ever made.
