19 Years Ago Today...August 27th

It was nineteen years ago today that I saw Meat Loaf with opening bands Cheap Trick and The Pursuit Of Happiness play Commonwealth Stadium here in Edmonton.

Also on this day eleven years ago, I saw Bob Dylan play the Skyreach Centre in Edmonton.

And on this day nine years ago, I saw W.A.S.P. play Red's here in Edmonton.

Ticket Stub Of The Day Jan.4th (Meat Loaf,Cheap Trick,TPOH)

Today's ticket stub is from the time I won tickets to the triple bill of Meat Loaf as headliners and Cheap Trick and The Pursuit Of Happiness opening at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton in 1994. I don't recall why this show was moved to the Stadium from the Coliseum, but the place sure felt empty with only half the place being used. TPOH and Cheap Trick were pretty damn good, and well Meat Loaf, let's just say I left about 20 minutes into their show. I did manage to catch a guitar pick from Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, but then, I think anyone on the floor probably got one as he must have thrown hundreds of picks during their set.
