23 Years Ago Today...August 10th

It was twenty-three years ago today that I saw the Black Crowes open for Heart at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton.

Also on this day, nineteen years ago, I saw Soundgarden with The Reverend Horton Heat play the Convention Centre here in Edmonton.

And it was eleven years ago today that I saw Snapcase with Strung Out and Rise Against play Red's here in Edmonton.

As well it was a year ago today that I saw Bob Dylan play in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.

13 Years Ago Today...July 6th

It was thirteen years ago today that I went to Calgary for the Vans Warped Tour. This was the first one held in Calgary. The bands I went to see on this tour were Hot Water Music, Snapcase, Green Day, Long Beach Dub All-Stars and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones among many others.

Also on this day twelve years ago I saw Stompin' Tom Connors play in Calgary at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Rest In Peace Stompin' Tom, you are missed.

And it was ten years ago today that I was in Montreal and saw the Foo Fighters with Pete Yorn and My Morning Jacket play at the Verdun Auditorium.

Concert Ad Of The Day July 19th (Strung Out and Snapcase)

Today's concert advertisement is from the show I saw in 2002 at Red's in West Edmonton Mall. The line up was Strung Out headlining with openers Snapcase (my second time seeing them) and Rise Against. A great night of punk/hardcore music. Not sure what happened to my ticket stub from this show.



In concert news... Rise Against will be playing in Edmonton on Saturday October 8th at Rexall Place with Flogging Molly and The Black Pacific.

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Apr.29th (Vans Warped Tour)

Today's t-shirt is from the first Vans Warped Tour I went to, this show was in 2000 in Calgary at the Race City Motorsport Park. I went to this show with my brother. This was an awesome line up including bands Green Day, Snapcase, Hot Water Music, The Bosstones, Long Beach Dub All-Star Band and many others. My brother and I had a great time at this concert. This was probably the best Warped Tour line up ever.

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Oct.11th (Snapcase)

Today's t-shirt is from the band Snapcase whom I saw for the first time at The Van's Warped Tour in Calgary at The Race City Motorsports Park in 2000. This was the first time The Warped Tour had played Calgary and one of the better line ups I have seen for the tour. Some of the bands on that years line up were, Green Day, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Hot Water Music.

I went to this show with my brother who was living in Calgary at the time, we both scored free tickets for the show as we did street team work for the BYO Record Label.

My favorite memory of the show was the first two bands of the day. Snapcase followed by Hot Water Music, wow, a little hardcore to get the day started. I had never seen either band before, but my brother had been following both for a while and said they were a must see. I have to say I was very impressed with both. It was a great long day of music.

"to be the perfect clone to be the perfect drone, to be the star employee ten cent raise, ten cent raise work five times faster you pressure me, no apologies you just enjoy your power "
