Not that I know of. I'm not a fan either and only went to make up the numbers - so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. He is getting on a bit though, and bless him, he's not exactly a looker, so it's a good job he has a strong voice. ;)

I was once 'persuaded' to go and see Bryan Adams at Wembley Stadium. Wembley ****ing Stadium?! I guess that had to be after 'Everything I do (I do it to make you mentally ill)'

I work at Casino Rama ini the entertainment centre I wear a number of hats from crew chief/rigger/general labourer/lighting/audio/video. Pretty much everything. I was hanging our new projectors today ready for the show on Thursday. I love my job, although sometimes it can get a little monotonous. I get to see all the shows for free but after you've seen as many as I have you lose interest.

Yes are coming soon, B52's & The Bangles, Boston, Seal, Duran Duran. Gig so far of the year for me was Elvis Costello. Awesome. Would have been a show stopper too if I hadn't fixed his kettle ;)

How cool! my BIL is a sound director in the theatre district in Toronto, his wife is a stage manager.

I saw Earth Wind and Fire in Casino Rama:o they were AMAZING!

I worked the Boston show tonight and it was amazing. They are in London, Ontario tonight/tomorrow I think so if you're close try and catch the show. Really impressed me and I can't say that about a lot of acts these days as I'm sick to the back teeth of watching them LOL.

Edit: Just checked their website and they are in Belleville on the 27th and London on the 28th.

She was very good, I can recommend her latest album Ceremonials, better than Lungs. Buy the deluxe edition for 6 extra tracks.

So jealous about Sarah MacLachlan. Used to love her when I was 20 and lived in the States. Wish we were in Vancouver now and not next month.

Best show of the year for our place so far, and more than likely THE show of the year.

Totally outstanding:thumbup:
