My Concert Ticket StubsTom Waits - Hummingbird Centre - 1999

So you have probably the worst seats in the house,but then after the show you feel as if you had been front row center...that's how I felt after seeing Tom Waits....on my all-time best concert top 10 list.

My Concert Ticket Stubs ROLLERCOASTER HALLOWEEN CONCERT – SKYDOME – 1992

     It was Halloween and what better way were we going to spend it then with The Jesus & Mary Chain, Curve, Spiritualized & Pure at the Skydome in Toronto. I remember it was General Admission, the floor was open and so were the seats, you could just go anywhere you wanted but the bands were the main attraction.

CFNY "The Spirit of Radio" – Best of 1983

    Back when Toronto radio station CFNY "The Spirit of Radio" was worth its weight in music I listened to it religiously, but as the years went on and they played the same song 6 or 7 times a day I lost all interest. Now thanks to the The CFNY Spirit Of Radio Fan Page I have been compiling videos off of YouTube to go along with the year end "Best Of" lists that they have gathered and displayed on the website. So if you want to have your very own "Retro Night" press play on this Best of 1983 list and enjoy.

My Concert Ticket Stubs - Nirvana – Maple Leaf Gardens – 1993

   Who could have known that four and a half months Kurt would be dead and Nirvana along with him, but seeing Nirvana live is one of my top 10 concerts of all-time. We didn't have the greatest seats (I remember us jumping down a few sections) but we were there and at the time they were still the biggest band in the world, so even as cheesy as it sounds we were all watching music history. Interesting note; by this time they had stopped playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" live, so when it was all over the ones that went just for that one song were all pissed off, but I remember thinking how very cool it was that they didn't play it....how Punk.

   Thanks to our good friend YouTube I found the complete show (well 99% complete).

My Concert Ticket Stubs Howard Jones – Maple Leaf Gardens – 1985

   I think in total I saw Howard Jones (HoJo) four times but this was the most memorable out of all of them.

My Concert Ticket Stubs 1995 - JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION – Opera House Toronto

   

      I can't believe that next week it will have been 18 Years…yes you heard me right 18 Years since I was witness to one of the greatest straight ahead take no prisoners set the place on fire Rock N' Roll shows The Opera House in Toronto has ever seen. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was touring in support of their now classic record 'Orange', and they just ripped us a new one.

    While searching I found the show (in parts) on YouTube, so sit back and watch some Rock N' Roll magic.

My Concert Ticket Stubs1987 - The Cure - An Evening with The Cure

    

     Nothing says the 1980's like Robert Smith and The Cure. I remember this concert well; I was on the floor and stood on my seat the whole show. I managed to find the set list online, and in my opinion this was the perfect Cure show.
