  This was an awesome time. July 15th, 1995 myself a van full of buddies made our way to High River, Alberta for the traveling Tragically Hip tour called Another Roadside Attraction. And what a line-up, headlining was The Hip of course, others on the bill were Ziggy Marley, Spirit Of the West, Blues Traveler, Matthew Sweet, Rheostatics, Eric's Trip and The Inbreds. Good times!!!

  On July 12th, 2008 I saw James Taylor play Rexall Place in Edmonton. Had front row seats for this one. And when James took a short intermission half way through the show, he sat on the edge of the stage and signed autographs. How cool is that!

Corb Lund & The Hurtin' Albertans Live in Leduc July 1st 2025

 


I'm not doing well with keeping up on reviews, so this is gonna be a short one.

 I went to this free Canada Day concert of Corb Lund & The Hurtin' Albertans in Leduc with my buddies Hurl and A-Bomb. Leduc is about a half hour drive south of Edmonton. My buddy Hurl invited me to go to this show with him, as I don't drive and I haven't hung out with him in ages, so of course I accepted.

 This would be my 13th time seeing Corb Lund in concert. And as always Corb and his band put on a great show. The show was an outdoor show held at Leduc Recreation Centre, a good crowd was out for the show too, which was good to see.

 Corb and the boys played an hour and half set covering tunes from his whole catalog, songs from his very first album Modern Pain to his latest album El Viejo and a few cover songs by Hayes Carll, Fred Eaglesmith and Ian Tyson thrown into the set as well

 A big thank you to my buddy Hurl for the invite and ride to and from the show. Good times!!!
