Kim Mitchell

And I've read that Alex Lyson has said that this is his favourite guitar solo to play.

Next up is Kim Mitchell, the song Lager and Ale in 1984.

He started as the leader of the band Max Webster before going solo.

know kim had a lot of big hits here in canada i don't know what he did in the states um you know ideal lanterns or gopher soda do those make them work down there at all

Peter Fredette, who plays bass, sings the Will and Enable part, has a fantastic voice.

Kim is an excellent guitarist, but he doesn't really show it off in this song, solo-wise.

The lyrics for this song, and in fact, the lyrics for most of Kim Mitchell's solo stuff and the Max Webster stuff was written by Pi DuBois, who is the only outside writer who had lyric credits with Rush, most notably Tom Sawyer.

The song's called Logger and Ale, and between Logger and Ale, I'm more of an ale guy.

There you go.

The Kim Mitchell song.

Rock and roll duty.

"I'm, I'm just doing my rock and roll duty."

Rush with Chemistry.

Kim Mitchell and Rockland Wonderland.

Those are going out to Deborah.

AC/DC, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is starting it off.

And she actually just a couple of weeks ago played the Rock the Harbor Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is in Canada, and also on the bill with Nazareth.

A guy named Kim Mitchell who was in Max Webster.

So she still gets into those festivals.

And Metal Queen was her second album.

Nazareth.

Kim Mitchell.

Yeah, you...

That's...

You know what? I blame Kim Mitchell for the Saturday night of not going to see it because...

You got really fucked.

I thought you were fucked up for Helix, but you got really banged up for fucking Tim Mitchell.

I doubt it, man.

Sorry about that, Dean.

Kim Mitchell, that's a big one.

Yeah.

Oscar Peterson.

Um, I remember I, I told you it was, uh, Helix and Honeymoon Suite and I was looking back at the dates and there was, um, Helix, Honeymoon Suite and Platinum Blonde, but that was the second show.

My first show was actually with Kim Mitchell and Helix.

You want to pick a camera? We'll just go with Honeymoon Suite.

Okay, I'll go with Honeymoon Suite because I

I jumped to the first lane.

I mean, I was the front row because it was like a free for all, you know? So I wasn't a ticket assigned seat or anything back in the day.

So you just went and I was in the front row with my friends and, uh, Like, this is where I would usually say Kim Mitchell came first, but I'm going to go with Honeymoon Suite on the second show.

It messes up things.
