@dostfez LOL...OMG WE WERE FORCED to dance too this song!!!in grade 9 in class b4 the dance? our teacher sed you are young men and women you HAVE to get along ?
wtf!! ( my cheeks hurt from smiling,going down memory lane right now ) :P
Love that song! Too bad the endings so rough. C'mon dudes from Max Webster, stop thinking about yer royalties and get with the living and post some shit! People from all over the world just wanna enjoy your music!
a friend of mine used to live across the street from Kim in the beaches, we used to see him out mowing his lawn lol! "How's It Going, Kim?!! Peace Man!" ;P Great Canadian band!
@Ressitude SUCK FUCKIN SHIT YOU COCKSUCKER YANKEE,YOU GUYS WANT OUR WATER,CUZ YOUVE GUYS FUCKED EVERY RESOURCE IN YOUR COUNTRY,WE WILL SEE WHO FUCKIN WANTS WHAT YA SACK,OUR FUCKIN GRAIN,OUR MINERALS,FUCK YA EVEN RIPPED US FOR ALASKA,AND IF YOU DONT GET IT/YOU WAVE FALSE FLAGS,THEN BOMB THE SHIT OUT THE PLACE,YA MAGGOT,DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT PARADISE WHEN YA LIVE IN A SHITTER. BITCH
I'm an American living in Canada and I must say to all Americans...we've been RIPPED-THE-FUCK-OFF by not hearing more of Kim Mitchell and Max Webster. It's a damn shame. Totally.
This song takes me back...I'm 19 years old with my first real serious boyfriend, hot summer night, hanging out at the Beach...there's a storm drifting in over Lake Ontario, you can see lightning and hear the thunder in the distance - other people start to leave, but we don't and Max Webster tape playing in the car - this is the song I associate with that night, that summer...that first love
@Sugarmoon23 I know the feelings I get when I hear a certain song from Boston's "Don't Look Back" is played.
We'd gotten in from going to a movie and it was raining on the way home. Her Mom went to the kitchen to make some cocoa after lighting the fireplace. She brings it back to us and goes to putter in the kitchen (and give us privacy).
She was kissing me behind my left ear when "Feelin' Satisfied" was playing. I still get goosebumps.
@gemstyler Absolutely spot on. I remember cruising around during high school summers with stuff like this pouring from the car stereo at about 10 on the musical richter scale. Sometimes we were so wired we didn't know where we were going or where we'd been, but we didn't care because we had TUNES! Sit at the beach, waves licking at our feet, moonlight shining on the water, warm breezes blowing through our cloudy psyches, and laying around a fire in the arms of our sweethearts..THAT was living.
I have this album. The BBC Radio 2 was playing it rarely around 1975 (or whenever it came out). How many songs still sound this good so many years later? It's brilliant.
@TonyLalangue It's all good. I've been guilty of misidentifying songs with artists before. I think what is so interesting about it is it isn't obviously Max Webster. It was quite a popular song in its day though.
Cause Kim was "beaking" in the U.S. Also his name was recognizable to those who knew him only as a solo artist in the 80's/90's. Hence sell the Max stuff with his name on the front......MEH!
Terry Watkinson is lead vocal on this track. I have this album on vinyl, and it does not have "featuring Kim Mitchell" on the cover. Why do the record companies feel a need to do this? Any long time fan knows damn well who is in the band!
I KNOW the lyrics, thank you to all of you who are trying to correct me...I chose this line for a personal reason so please, keep your kind comments to yourselves and leave mine alone
@mattelderca Actually it's "And all I know is that tonight I might let go the line...." Google search for Max Webster Let Go The Line lyrics confirms this, as does the liner notes from the actual album itself. A Million Vacations, the album that "Let Go The Line" comes from was the very first Max Webster album I got, many years ago. Fantastic band, sure wish I could have seen them live!
excellent tune - i saw him last nite in Oshawa and he didn't play this unfortunately but it was a really great show!! Thanks Kim & Band..you guys are awsome!! Please come back soon - how about another MAX WEBSTER reunion in the 'SHWA? 10/24/10
Definitely one of my favourite lines as well. Another song that I like even a bit more than this one which is done in a similar style is Fly at Night by Chilliwack
God this takes me back. Thank you for posting this fantastic song. what an underrated band. These should have been as big as rush, and triumph no question.
Exactly. I'm 13 years old here, and i'm pretending to do homework in my room, and the massive headphones are on and all I can hear is this song, and it's a Calgary winter where the snow ghosts across the road and the streetlights bleed orange and outside it's as quiet as quiet can be. Awesome song. Awesome band.
@vampyros1 buffalo ny here! ive always wondered if anywhere other than border states new of max? where you at if you dont mind? glad to here there are more of you and turn the kids on to them!!
@jonnyjib As mid-America as it gets ... Kansas. They actually had a pretty good following out here, especially with musicians. People who ran in that crowd knew of 'em! And loved them. Their legacy lives ....
@jonnyjib Yes, they opened for Rush at a college gig.....Manhattan I believe; unfortunately that was just before I got into them, so I didn't go. But those who did were profoundly impressed.
@vardiss22 Yeah, bummer April Wine never played my high school. Only Rush, Max Webster, Triumph, Streetheart, Rough Trade, and Goddo did. If any of these bands played your high school---you might be a Canuck.
@JeffTheCanuck2 if only i hadn't grown in the Atlantic provinces (N.B and N.S.) i don't think any of those bands made it that far east , in terms of playing high schools. (Although April Wine who were formed in Halifax might have played a couple high schools during their early days in N.S.)
@rebharath No problem. If you want you can add the link with &fmt=18 at the end of it to the description of the video so people have easy access to high quality mode.
Sorry, This Youtube account was used simply to upload this song for a friend a while back. I wasn't paying too much attention to it. Glad you enjoy it, i love this song.
Mitchell makes a guitar sing. A true magician! Why do we in Canada honour the likes of Murray and Cohen and forget guys like Kim Mitchell and Peter Fredette? A shame...
The song and album reminds me when i was 17, just got my license that summer of 79. i would listen to this on 8track and also The Cars"Candy O", cruising in my Dad's 73' Chevelle with the swivel front leather bucket seats. haven't seen that car since. great memories.
@huysmanslabas Yes I did. I also had this on 8-track. I luv the first three album's from the Car's. their one of my favourite band's from that era. I remember there was a lot of disco on the radio back then and The Car's sounded so refreshing.
This goes on my growing list of songs that I didn't care much for when they came out 30+ years ago, but am really enjoying now. The song has such a clean feel to it.
Oh My God!!!!!!!!! Growing up in the 70s, I used to wonder who wrote this song. They used to play so often on the radio in Montreal....now I know.....whoa!....flashback!!!
Terry Watkinson is my great uncle, hes also a talented artist, he lives off his paintings now, but back then he wrote nearly all the songs for max webster. Hes one of my mothers fathers many brothers, i grew up with his music and im proud to call him my great uncle, hes a really cool guy.
Just saw Kim Mitchell about 2 hours ago. Great show! Unfortunately, he didn't play this classic Max Webster song. We shouted for it but it fell on deaf ears despite sitting in row 4.
This is the band I saw live in a Hamilton bar back in the 70's, not sure which bar but I think it was on Barton St. Was anybody there also, it was when Kim Mitchell was just getting started with Max Webster? Wish I got their autographs back then. They were awesome live too!
Best ever.

This is the band I saw live in a Hamilton bar back in the 70's, not sure which bar but I think it was on Barton St. Was anybody there also, it was when Kim Mitchell was just getting started with Max Webster? Wish I got their autographs back then. They were awesome live too!
