making a brief return to the point where we began. unfortunately it's just an excerpt, but it's the sharpest and best sync'd version of this performance available, giving us maximum steve experience.

Of course it's from "Canada Jam", '78, according to youtube commenteer "Randy4756":
"This is from Canada Jam at Mosport park June 78 My ex wife was workin the refreshment stand which we later that night dismantled and lit on fire to stay warm she was seven months pregnant with my first kid the highlight of the night was Triumph which we waited until 3am before they came onstage"
Steve: "Canada gigs are not a representation of this band. It's a pain in the ass to go to Canada. It's like going to Europe only for one day. Customs has ripped us from time to time, and the gigs are usually just like the one you saw, where we have to play everything twice. Playing everything once gives me a massive headache from having to sing so high and strenuously. THEN, having to do it again is like having a hangover and working a jackhammer. THEN, the next day, you get to pack up and go someplace else and do it again. I hate feeling like apologizing after a gig, or worse yet, knowing that I'm gonna feel that way even before the gig begins. You might ask, "then, why play there?" and the answer lies in my daughter's bed. It's the only thing I know how to do. If we could, we would play "real" gigs with "real" bands. Like the one we're getting ready to do with Paul Roger's...."
I don't know which one Steve is, (and would rather write this comment than do a google search to find out) but I assume he must be the conga/keyboard player in tiny yellow shorts and tube socks. In which case, he rules.
