Velvet Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I've saved every ticket stub I've ever had (lost one - The Dead someplace) in a photo album with a list of who I went with. Gotta admit, though I disagree that audience size/venue makes it a show or not, I don't list bar shows unless I think they should be/will be bigger acts (moe. @ Zaphod's, Jeff Healey at a dance bar in Moncton, Bob Wiseman at the Cellar). The list starts August 3rd, 1983 with me front & centre g/a for The Headpins opening for Loverboy, The Moncton Coliseum. Absolutely and irrevocably changed my life (and was a hell of a show). I swore to myself that night I would go see as many live shows as I could. That year I saw all four that came to Moncton; Lydia Taylor Band, Toronto (who I later opened for - funny), and The Headpins again. The list goes through styles and distances, which sorta chronicles my musical and travelling growth over the years. After Loverboy comes the Kiss's and the Alice Coopers, travelling now to Saint John and Fredericton, to Metallica and GnR, and travelling to Montreal and Toronto. SRV, Dylan and Pink Floyd bleeding into the Allman's and Phish and the Dead, hitting the US for shows now, and then through Oscar Peterson and Moe Koffman and Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, McLaughlin, getting into Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass and seeing shows from Vancouver to Halifax to Arizona and Texas. I'll still see anything from cheesy classic rock to avante garde minimalism, Green Day one night and Al diMeola the next. It's fun to look through these things; I just filled my second photo album and I think I'm just over the 200 mark. It just occured to me how appropriate it is that I keep these (to me) historical documents in photo albums. Not to be cheesy, but they're probably the only things I own that have made me wonder, "where will these go when I die?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I still disagree somewhat Todd. A show is a show, big or small and must be documented. Good music comes from anywhere, whether its a Fat Cats show on tuesday in Hamilton or the Other Ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 comparing the fat cats on tuesdays to TOO is kind of a huge stretch don't ya think. but hey, thats just one mans opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
