January 31st

  On this day January 31st, 2019 I saw The Trews with opening act Altameda play the Starlite Room in Edmonton. I have no ticket stub for this show as I got guest list for the show. No poster either. Anyone have a poster for this show they might want to part with? I did buy a t-shirt at the show though.

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Dec.23rd (Wilco)

Today's poster is from the fifth time I saw Wilco in concert. This show was at The Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton in 2006 with Elliot Brood opening. Wilco was touring for their live album 'Kicking Television'. I went to this show with A-Bomb, who came from B.C. for the show. I had got a good buzz on before the show, during the concert lead singer Jeff Tweedy pointed me out of the crowd and mentioned how stoned I looked and proceeded to go on about how I looked like someone that had concerts going through his head 24/7, I would say he has a damn good judgement of character. I like to tell this story and then back it up with the bootleg recording I found on the net of this show, and say, hey that's me he is talking to. Again, this was another great performance by Wilco.

Unfortunately I missed openers Elliot Brood, whom I didn't know at the time. I kick my ass now, cause they are an awesome band.

Concert Shirt Of The Day Sept.12th (Saturday Night Fish Fry)

Today's concert shirt is from a local blues band that played at Billy Budd's bar in 1987 in Edmonton. I don't recall much about the band other then they had a lady singer, and I never saw there name around again after this gig. Nonetheless, I thought they had a very cool looking t-shirt.

Concert Shirt Of The Day Sept.1st (Tom Petty)

Today's t-shirt is from the first time I saw Tom Petty in concert. This show was at the Pemberton Festival in Pemberton, British Columbia in 2008. Tom Petty was the headline act for Saturday night. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers put on an awesome show to an audience of 40,000 people who ate it up, Petty seemed surprised by the crowd reaction, everyone was in to it big time. A really good time was had by all. Good times!!!

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Aug.30th (Nine Inch Nails)

Today's t-shirt is from the Nine Inch Nails show I saw at the Pemberton Festival in 2008 with my buddy Hurl. Nine Inch Nails were the headlining band on Friday night, and wow, were they ever good. It was my first time seeing them live, and they didn't disappoint. They sounded good, very heavy and had a wicked light show as well.

During the show, we saw an older gentleman at the back of the crowd,probably in his early 60's, a local resident would be my guess, dancing away to the music, just having a really good time. It was cool to see someone like him getting down. Not only that, but he sure did have the girls crowding around him, dancing with him and giving him high fives. You could tell he was having fun. Excellent show and good times!!!

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Aug.27th (Pemberton Festival)

Today's t-shirt is from the Pemberton Festival my buddy Hurl and I went to in Pemberton, British Columbia in 2008. It was a twelve hour drive from Edmonton to get to this festival, but what a fucking time it was. Well worth the time and money. It was the first time they had put on the fest and unfortunately the last too. While the fest wasn't run all that well, with long waits to get on to the site, although, the way we got there, we had no wait. But if you were coming to it from Vancouver, it was a nightmare. Hurl and I had an absolute blast at this festival, partying hard for 2 days and seeing some wicked bands, and few bands that I had never seen before. An awesome line up that included the following bands that we caught.

On the Friday night we saw... Nine Inch Nails (this was the first time I saw them), Serj Tankian of System Of A Down (first time seeing him solo), Wolfmother (2nd time seeing them), Kathleen Edwards (first time seeing her).

Saturday we saw...Tom Petty (first time seeing him),The Tragically Hip (12th time seeing The Hip), Flaming Lips (first time), My Morning Jacket (2nd time), Sam Roberts (3rd time), Secret Machines (2nd time) and Black Mountain (first time).

After two days of hard drinking and among other things, no shower, covered in dust and a wicked hang over, we woke up Sunday morning and decided to call it a day. It was going to be a 3 hour wait before bands started and it was raining, we said the hell with this and made the twelve hour drive back home.

This was one of the best weekend I have ever had, good times, awesome bands, great location for a festival. I just wish they were still putting on this festival, I would have gone again. Good times!!!

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Aug.22nd (Sleeping Girl)

Today's t-shirt is from the time I saw local rockers Sleeping Girl open for Nova Scotian native, now based in Winnipeg Greg MacPherson at the short lived live music venue in Edmonton called Lyve On Whyte in 2010. I have seen Sleeping Girl quite a few times, they always put on a good show and it was my second time seeing Greg MacPherson in concert. Not a bad show, good venue for a concert, but the bouncers at the show were dicks. It's no wonder the place didn't last long.

Concert Shirt Of The Day Aug.19th (W.A.S.P.)

Today's t-shirt is from a concert I didn't actually see, but was able to pick up the t-shirt at Sound Connection in Edmonton. It is from the W.A.S.P. European tour in 1984, this would have been for their debut album. I was huge W.A.S.P. fan in the 80's and just had to have this t-shirt when I saw it back in 1984. The shirt didn't go over well with my parents for reasons that don't need to be explained. I remember the first time I tried to wear it and my Mom saw it. She asked why I would wear a shirt with such offensive language on it. I said I wasn't aware of what it said, liar, she saw through that in a hurry and asked me to never wear it around her, which I didn't. I actually never did wear this shirt anywhere, just kept it as a collectors item. I did have a friend in High School at the time (Geoff) who asked if he could wear it to school. I said sure, as long as he didn't get it taken away. He did wear it to school, but ended up getting suspended for 3 days for his effort. It is a classic shirt.
