- Clips from the closing day January 9 1993 of The Gasworks hard rock club in Toronto, Canada. Celebrating a quarter century of presenting some of the premier up and coming hard rock and heavy metal acts the final day at The Gasworks saw performances by members of Goddo, Skid Row (Sebastian Bach), Triumph (Gil Moore, Phil X), Helix (Brian Volmer), Platinum Blonde (Mark Holmes), Saga (Ian Crichton), Coney Hatch (Andy Curran), Slik Toxic and many more.
This video is a pre-trailer for the documentary film "Don't Call Last Call" which takes a look back at the big hair, heavy metal era of clubs and bars and what it took for a working musician to survive and succeed. Its about the times, the people, and of course the players ... a number of who went on to achieve international stardom. - เพลง
I'm from Argentina and had the chance to visit GW during 1982 during a Conney Hatch presentation. Wow that was amazing.....the band so close to the people, beer and more....my eyes were in shock, nothing similar those days....
I used to bounce between the Gasworks and Rock n Roll Heaven almost every weekend in the late 80's to early 90's
This clip actually made me feel grateful about being 55....'ish.....'cause after my brother played there, I was a regular at this Rockin' bar when Live music was at its best!!! Some of you might recall Teleman aka Wrabit....double drummers, Jeff Steck and Lou Nelson.(also lead vocals)..lead guitarist, John Albany (pre-Lee Aaron)...awesome harmonies to some of the best all time classics by Led Z, Toto, Styx, Foreigner....
I played the Gasworks on several occasions with 2 different bands. In the late mid 70s with Wednesday and the early 90s with Marshal Law. I went there so many times that I can't count. Always had a great time. I remember having to drink Molson Export in quarts because it was always so loud there, the only hand signal that worked was 2 crossed fingers signifying Molson Ex! I also played upstairs at Cornelius a few times but it wasn't as cool as the 'works. I also remember there was teh first time I had a Shwarma. From the kitchen. Even had a "good time" in the dressing room! Lovely sweet girl she was. One of the best gigs to be had in Toronto.
Hey Ben . .myself and Doug used to work front doors back around early to mid 80's . .if you need bouncer interviews . .happy to help . .REALLY can't wait for your documentary release buddy !
LOVED this bar. always excellent loud tunes.
Black Sabbath used to hang out there while they were recording the Never Say Die album in Toronto in 1978, as per Tony Iommi's biography 'Iron Man'.
Totally blown away that the song, "All Night Rock and Roll Party" is from Marshall Law's cd, Read 'em and Weep! I played on that record and gigged with them too! Sad to say but the truth must out, I'm not on that song. But I've played it!
Was there every weekend. Sure miss it.
This was one of the BEST nights of my life ..I was there also... This needs to come our soon..We could sure use this in our lives right now to go back and relive those moments....I was there every weekend and any other time when I was not working!! I started going in the early 80's I was underage haha....What at time to have lived!!
was only there once...right near the end.....was a band named Mustard
plus you got Steve Madden to sing....a great guy hung with him for a bit
I played with him in a couple of bands. Great guy!
USED TO PARTY THERE ALL THE TIME!!Seen Lee Aaron!!Awsome!!
My fav bar! So many fun times ... just wish I could remember more of them! Got carried out a few times lol those bouncers were hot! Loved all the long hair and leather!!!
in my memory its was always a dash back and forth between the gasworks and the Yonge Station up the road just below bloor ... i remember when rough trade were the house band one whole summer upstairs at the chimney above the gasworks ..... also saw max webster there and early Rush ...a foot in cold water ...and on and on ...dont know about teenage head although tey played the yonge station a number of times as did Paul james (lik 'n' Stick) and grant fullerton (fullertons dam) ...list goes on
Hello im Spatch bass player from Harbinger, dont forget Babe, Coney Hatch, Night Winds, Rhiengold, Sherriff and others!
You must know Andy Curran well? Didn't he play bass?
The Knobhill was a good 'ride', too. Chicks would pick YOU up!
Peace!
Hello, I am Talis, I used to crack you in the head with Errol's tambourine, or screw up your flange settings.
Worked there from '82 - '85 - fun times!
was in side once to see a band called Mustard.... and I still have the cd they were (selling ) giving away cause the lead sing was getting drunk....
Well???? Where’s the film?
I was outside that night listening cause it was at full capacity and no one was allowed in at a certain time
Grew up there
I would love to watch Sebastian Bach's full performance. Do you trade concerts? if so, contact me, please
Some of us never knew the inside of this place because they were shut down before we turned of age. :(

Trust what you read here. It sums it up perfect!
I was working the lights at this show. Used to practice across the street from there too.
gasworks rox!
The girl at 1:41, looks like she's taking a git off a joint - did her!
Oh that place was sweet. Bouncers prided themselves in how many heads they could bust in a night.
Never understood the hype that developed around this bar. Just a terrible layout for seeing bands...such a long skinny room with the stage facing the opposite wall a few feet away, and for the half of the bar nearest the entrance, the stage couldn't even be seen. Always preferred The Tube back in the day!
Best bar ever!
