I Feel So Canadian
Tonight Burton Cummings played the Victory Ceremony. He rocked the house down. It was such an amazing show. When I think I first saw him 34 years ago – it’s unbelievable. He made the comment that he has never felt “more Canadian” than he has in the last two weeks. I agree with that. I [...]
Jann Arden
Last night I was able to attend the Jann Arden concert at the QE theatre. The most stunning change (for me) was the lobby. They took out the ceiling in the lobby and made it the full height of the building and hung beautiful chandeliers. It made it feel so open and the glass walls [...]
KISSed (And I Liked It)
The first time I saw Kiss was September 14, 1977 on their Love Gun tour. I went by myself, waited in line for hours for general admission, ran like hell when the doors opened, and found myself at the end of Gene’s feet with my arms hammering on the stage. I was an [...]
For Those Who Came To Rock….
They came, they rocked. Brian Johnson sounded as good as ever, Angus and Malcolm played together as though they were attached at the hip and Angus scooched across the stage a little slower, and for a little shorter period – but he did it and was great. The whole show was reminiscent of [...]
Another Pension Support Show
Another Saturday another show. Oops…I’m slipping into my broadway mode when I should be getting into my rock n’ roll mode. It’s difficult to describe AC/DC and the cultural effect/shock they have had on my life. I was a teenager growing up in Ottawa, listening to Donny Osmond and Kiss when they [...]
Kiss Me
Kiss is coming to Vancouver. This was the first rock band I ever saw. I was 15 years old and it was a school night! September 14, 1977 at the Ottawa Civic Center. I ran down to the front of the stage and I was right there. It was the [...]
Melissa in Concert AGAIN!
I had the opportunity to see Melissa Etheridge again last night. She was on tour “Alive and Alone” which made me more than happy. I love to see her rock out on her own with no distractions. The show was held at the Tulalip Casino in Marysville, Wa. It’s a beautiful [...]
And Then There’s George
George came out 45 minutes late, which didn’t really impress me, but I guess he had his reasons. I didn’t appreciate knowing he had been in town and it wasn’t because he “just got in” but what’s a girl to do when her one true idol is in the building. Yeah, that’s right, Donny Osmond [...]
28 Years Later He’s Still the Boss!
Yes, concerts are still part of my makeup, although not as many as the last few years. Tonight, 28 years after my first concert with Bruce Springsteen, I found myself in a different country and a different city marvelling at the man all over again. The energy that man exudes is phenomenal. [...]
This Little Girl Can Rock!!!
Another Saturday night and I was at the River Rock Casino again. This time to see Amanda Marshall. Wow. Tiny woman with big hair and a ginormous voice. The show was fabulous. She sang through her catalogue of hits and just rocked the place. She sang an acapella song without the band and it was [...]
