This is a near holy performance of All We Are... a time capsule of how good this song can be live. Peter at his best, the perfect club, the perfect crowd, the perfect sound, and the perfect tone. To top it all off, there is something VERY particular about Kim's extended guitar solo outro... it simply bleeds. It gives me chills every time I watch it. A lot of shred guitar players could learn a lot about how much you can get out of ONE note if you FEEL it. Wow. Kim...freakin'...owns on this one.
I have unearthed more from VHS tapes from the 1989 television broadcast of the Kim Mitchell band's live performance at The Kee in Bala, Ontario !!! I had the show opener "That's The Hold" on YouTube now for almost a year and it got a TON of response. Here is the rest of what I've got. See My Videos for everything. Kim's only 1989 Kee performances on YouTube, exclusive to my postings are as follows:
THAT's THE HOLD (opener w/drum solo)
ALL WE ARE
BATTLESCAR (w/ triple drummers!)
LOST LOVERS FOUND
ROCK AND ROLL DUTY
ROCKLANDWONDERLAND
THAT's A MAN
goose bumps...nice everything

This song is overwhelmingly beautiful. I had to stand back and gape at the sheer brilliance of this. XD

I can't think of another band in the world that utilized a back-up singer the way Kim Mitchells band did. For years I thought Kim was singing the whole thing because I never saw him live or in video. Its amazing how well Mitchell and Fredette compliment each other and take their songs to new levels with this approach. Fredette deserves credit for sticking with Kim all these years because I'm sure he could have done successfully on his own if he wanted to. He had the voice but Kim had the rock.

I can't decide which is more epic here... Peter Fredette's vocals or Kim Michells guitar work???
