Max’s on Broadway in Fells Point was a staple of the Baltimore live music scene. The venue pivoted away from its regular live concert policy in 1993 1 and it is now known as Max’s Taphouse.

No media to share. And nothing too terribly profound. But the thing about Max’s is that the stage was maybe 18 inches off the floor because of the low ceiling. So the guys were Right There and they melt factor was off the charts. Not so long after that, Max’s stopped hosting touring live music and extended its bar. These days, there’s a window out onto the brick street where the load-in door used to be. And I can sit with a beer at basically the same place I was standing for this show. I had been a mid-80s college kid in Ames, Iowa and never quite managed to see HD; this wasn’t that, but it was still an absolute Force Of Nature show.
