25 Years Ago Today...June 23rd

It was twenty-five years ago today that I saw Def Leppard with Tesla opening play in Vancouver at the Pacific Coliseum.

Also on this day twenty-four years ago, I saw Great White play in Edmonton at the Convention Inn South.

It was on this day as well twenty-three years ago that I saw the Dead Milkmen play the Ambassador here in Edmonton.

Looks like June 23rd has been a stellar day for shows for me. It was six years ago today that I saw Willie Nelson play here in Edmonton at Rexall Place.

Also on this day three years ago, I saw U2 play Commonwealth Stadium here in Edmonton.

And finally, it was on this day a year ago, that I saw Mike Plume play the Pawn Shop here in Edmonton.

Concert Poster Of The Day July 11th (Dead Milkmen)

Today's poster is from the time I saw The Dead Milkmen with local band One Soul Down play at the old Ambassador Hotel in downtown Edmonton in 1990. The old Ambo was a bar in the basement of the hotel, they used to put on some excellent punk rock shows in the late 80' and early 90's and before that used to book blues bands their. I don't recall who I went to this show with, but I do remember having a really good time at it. The Dead Milkmen were touring for their Metaphysical Graffiti album.
