From A Million Vacations (1979). A Million Vacations is the fourth album by Canadian rock band Max Webster. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume, the rig we use for Max Webster's other songs from A Million Vacations, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
