This may be old news, but the Barr Bros are playing in Gatineau this Friday night. http://www.maisondelaculture.ca/Salle-Odyssee/spectacles/chanson/the-barr-brothers.html $35 Too bad it's the same night as Zeus.
That RavenLaw Stage is a huge mis-step for this new site. Terrible sound and ventilation and very small capacity. There were hundreds of people outside waiting to get in last night. If you want to see anything in that building you have to miss what's on the big stage to go stand in a lineup (without beer). They should switch the functions of the Aberdeen and Horticulture buildings.
I was there for 100 minutes total. 5 minutes before Weird Al, his set, and 5 minutes after. Would've gone at least one other day had ticket prices been remotely reasonable.
There's no way ACDC, a large highly-visible corporation, potentially infringes on MLB, NFL, NHL and CFL copyright without an arrangement one way or another.
The jerseys ($150) cost more than the insane ticket price ($130) (that I willingly paid). Also, appears Moncton didn't get a jersey but they don't have a pro sports team that I know of....(I think the jerseys are tied to the venue not the city... Wonder why CFL / RedBlacks didn't get in on this. Other CFL stadiums did)
AC DC is doing customized sports jersey merch for the Canadian tour, except Ottawa of course. Some sweet jerseys in here. http://www2.tsn.ca/bardown/Story.aspx?AC%252fDC%2bhave%2bmade%2bjerseys%2bfor%2bevery%2bcity%2bon%2btheir%2btour&id=557231
Wonder if The Killjoys will be playing around Ontario to warm-up / cool off before / after this show. They were the cheaply-priced Lemonheads that would play locally when I was growing up. So many good songs.
Don't know the capacity for concerts in the arena, but you can see the seating chart from the link here: http://www.tdplace.ca/events/detail/alabama-shakes
Sean, it's an indoor venue with half the rink closed, lest you think it was outside in the stadium. That said, they did play on the big stage at Bonnaroo last weekend....
