phishtaper Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Who's going on Friday?I'll be there. Front row center. Close enough to get a few tears on me and to share a few of my own, Im sure. At the risk of hyperbole, this will be an historic night for Canadian music ... the end of something very very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 phorbesie, hie thee hence to a library or bookstore and get your hands on a copy of On A Cold Road by Dave Bidini. It's one of the best books written about Canadian music, and life on the road for a band. (It also has a bunch of history of the Rheostatics, along with stories from Canadian music legends.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If you haven't heard Whale Music, either, be sure to secure yourself a copy so you can spend the rest of the foreseeable future regretting that you never caught them live . I only got around to seeing them once or twice after Dave Clark left, but I'll never forget the shows I was lucky to catch from '89 till then. Not only did they blow the roof off any room they played in, but they had the most side-splittingly funny stage-banter I've ever seen in a band.
