"I remember doing a gig at the Thunderbird Motor Inn in Thunder Bay, in October of '73. It was freezing cold. They had us at the far end of the motel. There was no heat down there; the rooms were around 50 degrees. Every night you would hear'zzzzzzz' as we would turn the hair dryers on under the sheets to keep wam. And the guy wouldn't pay us after the first week. And we didn't have any money, so we had to eat and drink in his restaurant, and one night I remember he sat us down and said, 'Come on, boys, we're going to have some drinks' We had all these drinks and had a great time, and...we got the bill for it! He actually gave us the bill for it [laughs]. But we had a real fun time up there back then." - Alex Lifeson, Contents Under Pressure
"I do remember we went to Thunder Bay for two miserable weeks, halfway thru October and tons of snow. It was a frozen 56 degrees in our rooms and you slept with your hair dryer in the bed with you so you could turn it on and let the hot air warm you up. It was also our first time being away from home for two weeks and the bikers kept unplugging our p.a. on the side they'd sit on." - Ian Grandy via email to Skip Daly, August 2010
