[crazycanuck63]

Ronnie Tabak!! was most certainly one of a kind in the world of Rock with his unique power house sound and range and was and will always be the voice that made Prism and continues to do so even from beyond the Rock N' Roll grave!! R.I.P Mr. Tabak! we still adore you and love you!!!

[nekpen]

I Didnt say That was Henry small, I said one of the band members.. ie-past member what have you.. 

[ChuckieInMT]

On Mercury, they're crazy about my stellar rock-n- roll....

And I always sell out in advance at the Martian Astro Bowl...

Shit, we really miss Ron, as he was THE SHIT!!!

RIP, my firend, we'll party again, someday -

Check Lindsay's lead guitar -

[DarcyCampbell66]

I was just a young teenager when I seen this concert on TV it was AWESOME due to there was a lot of big name bands from 50's right up to the events date. Wish I could remember the name of the concert.

[annfreefly]

how much is a guitar autographed by prism worth?

[poketfulashelz]

@annfreefly Prism isn't a very popular band anymore, they make small tours, mostly in Canada, playing in a lot of smaller towns and venues. If you wanted a guitar signed by Prism to be worth anything it'd have to be one used during one of their tours from 1977 - 1984 or at least the same era they would have used and be signed by all members with very little signs of use. If you asked them to just sign your guitar right now on a reunion show it probably wouldn't increase the value at all.

[annfreefly]

@poketfulashelz well it was signed by all of them but it prob wont be worth much then. :D thanks alot. you seem very knowledeable on guitars

[TokaCola]

this is a little more crunchy than the album...yummy

[mattymous]

i just saw the two days ago (nov 28, 09) in andrew alberta. awesome live great time man can he move for his age

[metalupyourfukingass]

Holy Shit....classic rock at its finest! I miss the days of simple rock n roll!!!

[Yutubetopteensingers]

This was the kind of music that makes you forget everything and just feel good inside, no matter whats going on around you......

[PaBasser]

Didn't know they were still around or that anyone else knew of them except for some old Army buddies of mine from the mid to late 70's. One of them turned me on to them. I still have a cassette ot them.

[DJmarcusrocks]

i just worked for their concert a week ago with the new lead guy al harlow

[Railrodder]

Damn I miss this band! I saw then once at The Jock Hardy Arena in Kingston with STYX. Best concert ever!!!!

[pumatop]

Dude Prism's still around. I'm going to a concert in 2 days here in Powell River. I know the original singer is dead. But I'm still psyked as hell.

[circlewolf]

[dvideto]

Smokin Hot performance  !!! Very tight.Great Job. Great Band !

[ZolRing]

Whenever I read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I always imagine Zaphod Beeblebrox rocking out to this.

[JimSkinger]

This is a fantastic band very tight .

[va3grv2]

Right on! 1977 Roller Skatin!

[scoobydoo808]

[g25racingnerd]

[Dollarbob]

[kramsmada]

But about five feet 5 inches bigger than your brain.

[snareslapper]

these guys played our high school dance before they wrer big...that was in Vancouver,B.C

[kpmurphy62]

Had friends see them live too

those were the days of real live music!

[mrh1984]

I saw them last year in Trochu, AB. There still Rockin!!

[gumby0863]

The first band my girlfriend, now my wife of 22 years, saw together at The Aud. Kitchener. We were 17 and F M ( Nash The Slash ) opened.

Ron Tabak was the singer. He died from a head injury about 15 years ago.

One of Canada's great bands, great keys work !!

[covet66]

SICKK

[danlitster]

is this guy Axl Rose father or what??

[luvguy1]

this is from the era when bands knew how to play live, no electronic background trak, lip syncing, etc....it might sound cheesy, but these guys rocked

[88887608]

dawn I hope you might see this, just like 2 high

[88887608]

dawn are u ther

[rbruce11]

I remember growing up in the Vancouver area in the 70's with them been a local band!

Prism was great! Used to open up the windows in the car & let it blast!

Was a great time!!

Ron

[babebutz]

These guys rocked!!! Hey, is that Jim Valance, Bryan Adams songwriter, on keys!?

[cronin99]

I really enjoy the lyrics for this song! Prism rules!

[mssharon66]

I remember this song playing when i was 15yrs old, Im now 42 to be honest havent searched it out for yrs did just now, it still rocks

[crusherbmx]

Love his song, SO cheesy, it's a 70's anthem

[catesrocko]

VERY NICE. Singer sounds faintly like Axl in some parts. There can't be any doubts about that one. Good vid though, thanks!

God bless!

[aurrasinger]

Anybody know where to find Take Me To The Kaptain? I've been looking everywhere....

[wakaw07]

I use to love this band when I was a kid growing up in western Canada. Shit everybody did before we were Knew how to be cool. At 14 years old this shit rocked! Kinda a Canada's version of a cross between early Styx and Blue Oyster Cult. Love it!!!!!

[shinyranker]

Love this song. Particularly the line "Gotta solar powered laser beam guitar." Fantastic under appreciated band. RIP Ron

[sputnikx2001]

holy shit,this is why i luv u tube,i just stumbeled across some primo canadian schlock crapola chesse!!!!havent heard this crap for 25 yeaqrs!!!! lol lol lol

[pixidust80]

*^know

[pixidust80]

wow i i used to al harlow from the band when i was like 16 27 now I was like him and his wifes nanny when they went on a trip to mexico(i when't to) super nice guy.......very cool to actually see what he looked like on stage!

:-)

[Musicjuicebox]

if you go on the prism website there are audio files or rare versions of stuff..actually pretty amazing how they ended up with what they had, if you listen to the first version of spaceship, the second one is closer, cool to see how the song evolved..so to speak

[pfranke27]

Yes we need more songs from Prism. This was the first time I saw Ron Tabak and he is as I imagined as well. Thanks for posting this one. Please someone post more songs

[eden1963]

Which cemetary in Burnaby is his grave?

[deora2dude]

forest awn cemetary on royal oak road... good dude.

[ELLISCOOPER29]

We need more Prism. 1200 uploads and only 2 Big Hits. We need Night to Remember, Open Soul Surgery and maybe even Vladivostok...Thanx You Tube and Thanx Prism!

[northernlight696]

Paid a visit to Ron Tabak's grave about a week ago here in Burnaby B.C. Someone left a Prism CD with his photo on it, in front of his tombstone- RIP Ron !

[KurtmanJP]

Sounds like a mix of David Bowie and generic hair metal. COOLNESS!

[Disasterman182]

i luv this band

[bassplyr4003]

Anyone have the video for the song Don't Let Him Know?

[brendonwww]

my uncle was in this band, before it became prism, called the seeds of time, named steve wally, on base

[brendonwww]

and he rejoined the band for their new album

[nekpen]

one of the band members is a Dj on our local radio station.. henry small..

[pegasusdh1]

what's the name of the radio station and what city is it in?

[drumheadthe1st]

@nekpen I think Henry lives in Merritt or Kamloops B.C. He has a recording studio there

[nekpen]

@drumheadthe1st yes he does live out there and is on our morning radio aswell!

[zigzag1a]

@nekpen

thats not henry small. Henry came in years later to replace ron tabak. (rip ron)

[humbledb4jesus]

[udrivemeupthewall]

[SKATETOSLAYER]
