July 29th

  I saw Twisted Sister play the exhibition  called Klondike Days here in Edmonton on July 29th, 2005, a free show and holy shit was this ever a lot of fun! All original members too.

December 6th

 

 On December 6th, 1984 I saw Iron Maiden on their World Slavery Tour play Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton. Opening the show was Twisted Sister, this made for one hell of a double bill.

 An article that was in the magazine Alberta Report a week after the show.

29 Years Ago Today...December 6th

It was twenty-nine years ago today that I saw Iron Maiden with openers Twisted Sister play Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton.

And it was five years ago today that I saw Richard Thompson play the Myer Horowitz Theatre in Edmonton.

15 Years Ago Today...July 29th

It was fifteen years ago today that I saw Big Sugar play at the Convention Centre here in Edmonton. This show was a make-up show for a fiasco of a show a month before. It was Labatt Blue contest show that had been held in a airplane hangar earlier, it was during that show that it all went to shit because of rain,power failures and a roomful of drunks. Cans of Labatt Blue for a dollar a piece, what did you think was going to happen. Good times!!!

Also on this day thirteen years ago, I saw Wide Mouth Mason play a free show at K-Days Exhibition here in Edmonton.

On this day eight years ago, I saw Twisted Sister play the K-Days Fair here, another free show.

It was a year ago today that I went to the closing night of the inaugural Interstellar Rodeo Festival here in Edmonton. The bands I caught on this evening were Whitehorse, Mike McDonald of Jr. Gone Wild doing a solo acoustic set and to close the night out Blue Rodeo.

In concert news...Whitehorse will be playing in Edmonton on Sunday October 13th as part of a new festival here called Up + Downtown Music and Arts Festival.

Concert Ad Of The Day June 3rd (Twisted Sister)

Today's ad is from the Twisted Sister concert I saw in 2005 in Edmonton at Klondike Days which is a fair they have every summer here. This was my second time seeing Twisted Sister in concert, the first time I saw them was in 1984 when they opened for Iron Maiden. The show was free with a ticket in to the fair. It was all original members, and what a show they put on, playing all the classics, lead singer had to tone down the cursing as it was a family show, but that sure didn't stop them from putting on a rocking show. I went to this show with Janis,her kids Stephen and Shannon, Lois, her son Drayson, Kenny. Good times indeed!!!
