If you are on Facebook, please visit Prism: The Ron Tabak Era. All the videos are linked there, as well as some awesome photography and memorabilia from the days when arena rock ruled..
While travelling to motocross races in the 80's, we made up our own words, as we always had some Canadian rock, like Prism cranked: ...Moto Man - we live our lives to race... Then the words always changed, cuz of who thought they were gonna win the next day. Al, we'd love to party with you guys in Kalispell sometime, just let me know -n- we'll go from there.
@ThePablocruise Hey, thanks for providing a missing link in my research! This must have been the first of 2 shows Prism did there. Do you still have that tour shirt by chance? PM me if you do.
@ArcticFox1095 No, Ronnie did not drink or do drugs. He was a very spiritual man making his early passing even more of a a waste in my eyes. Little Sister
@aleila101 ok, thanks! i stand corrected. i know he was a very nice person. i wonder who was the person driving the car that hit him on his bike on christmas eve? he probably felt totaly like crap. i guess that was ronny's time to die. :(
@aleila101 From my research, Ron Tabak lived the rock 'n roll lifestyle like countless others in the music business---he was no saint, but he was finding his way out of those trappings at the time of his accident. His last recordings are spiritual and he had returned to the values that his family upbringing had instilled. That makes it less of a waste to me. Thanks for the comment.
@Tabakfan Is there any books out on Tabak? I'd love to learn about this great singer man. If you can direct me to any articles would be appreciated. Thanks~joe~
Ha......I wish I did......the only one I have now is an old Chilliwack tshirt. :)

I remember seeing Prism back in about '79 in Saskatoon. That's when a concert ticket cost $12 and a tshirt $7. Those were the days!

@nemrac76 The show was aired in 1981--still trying to verify performance date and locate better quality footage.
All are welcome to join our unofficial facebook page called Prism: The Ron Tabak Era for lots of memories, concert photos and collectables.
