THE GASWORKS - RADIO SPOT (1981)

Here's a radio spot for the legendary Toronto hard rock club THE GASWORKS, immortalized in Wayne's World.

Loved me them quart bottles of beer at the Gasworks. Great parties, even greater after parties.

I was at the Gasworks the day it opened. (1969?).
For the first couple of days it still had to have the separate entrance for Ladies and Escorts since it was a tavern.
Drafts were 10c each..
They opened the Chimney upstairs for more intimate dining.
I had one of the first Head Shops at 646( I think) Yonge St right across the street ( The United Notions) from the Gasworks and my 'company car' was a 1954 Cadillac hearse painted royal blue.

9 story Scotia back there now. Did they leave any trace of mention of this place? Mike Myers said it was the inspiration for the place he used in Wayne’s world.

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

Wait... wait... are you tellin' me that the Gasworks was real?
Totally bodacious!

[@glesgapal]

Sherriann, it looks like you were standing outside my head shop The United Notions.. 😊

[@glesgapal]

PS. Remember the Hercules store next door ( you can see their sign on the wall) that sold all kinds of army and navy surplus gear..
