Rheostatics-Realtime Session (CBC-1997)
Now a few words on the Realtime session from March of 1997. Realtime was one of the many shows CBC Stereo (later to be known as CBC 2) would use on Saturday night to try and get young people to watch. In 1997, during Canadian Music Week they invited the Rheostatics to do an hour and they in turn brought some of their friends. Those friends would include Kevin Hearn, Tamara Williamson, Gordon Downie, Guh and Ron Sexsmith.
The session was amazing. Some surprising choices ("Onilley's Strange Dream" for sure) and great collaborations. I used to have this on tape but misplaced it over the years. Thankfully it was put up on the Rheostatics Live Archive and I've been able to enjoy it once again. Now is your chance to get this show that is highly recommended.
