Super Freak Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 In my attempt to reach rockstar status, I have decided to make a few pointless posts that could either make you laugh or cry. I have decided to admit to all, openly, my first show ever. It was the summer of 1982, chic mullet in full bloom, I was probably even wearing a gold headband with feather hanging off the side.(those old enough to remember the feather hangin' headband will be laughing about right now) CNE Grandstand for.... Rick Spingfield~Success hasn't spoiled me yet tour, If anyone can top that, I will sing Jesse's Girl at the Karry-hokie bar of your choice. oO0please, please, please,somebody top that...0Oo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I often cite SRV & Double Trouble at Massey Hall in March '85 (I had 8th row floors; got my freakin' head blown clear off ) as my first show, but I'm starting to re-think that position. About four years before that, as a graduation present from Senior Public School, I got given a ticket to...Beatlemania, at the O'Keefe Centre. Actually, the whole family (Mom, Dad, my brother, and I) went (I was about 12 or 13). The house lights came down, the stage lights started to come up, and a booming voice came over the PA: O'Keefe Centre management would like to remind you that in this venue there is no smoking...ANYTHING... It was a pretty good show, but kinda cheezy at times, especailly as they went through all the costume/look changes. I still have the button/pin I bought.

Guest Low Roller Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 shhh, you'll give away the male secret of letting women do all the decorating so that males can just sit motionless and watch hockey Booche! At the same time your place is a bustling utopia of greenery. I have one plant, and it's dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurisuta Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I was like twelve years old and a dork. I was wearing a new kids tee shirt and a pair of pink parachute pants, you remember, doncha, those balloon shaped ones? So wonderfully eighties, I was stylin'. No gold headband with dangling feather, though. Bananna clip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 how about his one..... Flashback: 1985 The Place: Sault Ste. Marie Memorial Gardens The Band: Corey Hart, Boy In the Box tour. Me and my dad in the stands, my sister on the floor (she's 5 years older). We got all the hits that night, and I still remember when he played Sunglasses at Night.

Ms.Huxtable Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I was pretty sad when banana clips went out of style. What a handy hair-do tool they were. Now I always wear my hair down 'cause I haven't a clue how to put it up in all the new cool styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Freak Posted December 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Corey Hart... Good one! I thought I might get a few Platnium Blondes or a Glass Tiger~I totally forgot about Corey Hart. Way to go Blane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 If it makes you feel better, Glass Tiger was my second concert (1987 or so). At, of all places, St. Joe's Island Cornfest!!! Gotta love Northern Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Freak Posted December 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 well, as long as you didn't follow up the Glass Tiger with a Mr Mister show... Hey does anyone remember The Spoons???

Asparagus Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Glass Tiger and Gowan, before you could call him Larry. My best friend, and our dads. We got the hits, Strange Animal, Criminal Mind, etc. I think I was eight years old. Lansdowne Park. I remember it being very cold and Gowan taking forever to set up and start his set.

bradm Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 But it's just a comfort thing, right? And when you kiss her, your leg doesn't bend at the knee, bringing your foot off the ground in that quaint little way that shows how infatuated you are with her...

Kurisuta Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Hey, Tracy, yours is slightly less lame and more respectable than mine. The first live show I ever attended was at the Civic Centre in Ottawa. I was twelve or thirteen, and my little sister and our best friends went to see.... (drumroll, please!) New kids on the block! I loved the New Kids- then. Now, it's just funny. In case ya'll were wondering, my favorite New Kid was Joey MacIntyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
