RushFanForever Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Hello I'm aware that a few RUSH fans may know (and other's perhaps not) that the live audience clapping on 'The Spirit Of Radio' is sampled from a Max Webster concert. I gave this a brief mention last year here. This is mentioned below by Kim Mitchell from the 5:40 to 8:35 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6liCtOdEho&t=5m40s An archived tour date (posted here) on MaxWebsterLive.ca confirms the above. Max Webster released a live album titled 'Live Magnetic Air' which is probably where the similar 'live audience clapping' sample would be of course. In the interview where the brief subject of 'royalties' came up; considering that Anthem Records released 'Live Magnetic Air' (with both bands sharing the same label), it probably isn't that much of a big deal really. After all, Rush probably never received any royalties from the 'Battle Scar' collaboration. To me, I think it's just friendly band brotherhood bartering with helping the other in a musical sense.

RushFanForever Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) One observation is that 'Live Magnetic Air' by Max Webster was released after the band recorded four studio albums. They were perhaps following in the tradition of RUSH who're doing the same thing then. Edited April 4, 2018 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Royalties from Battle Scar? My guess is that they didn't even get Musician Union rates for the day. Hey they were helping out their kid brother - the wheels were coming off the Max Machine and Rush were trying to help out. Hey Superconductor, there is a fella named Sir GH that has been uploading a truckload of Max Webster shows on the Dime. His most recent is a March 1976 soundboard recorded in Toronto at Larry's Hideaway - pure gold. And that 8 disc set is great too if you don't have it yet, it's well worth it We finally get the KM EP on cd as well as a disc of live/unreleased material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
