goalie13 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Generally I prefer spending my money on sporting events instead of concerts, but I have been to a few...

johngould21 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Far too many to talk about, the first act I remember seeing was Bobby Vee at the PNE, circa 1962. The first concert I ever went to was Iron Butterfly at the old PNE Forum. I've seen Pink Floyd and Roger Waters 3 times, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, George Harrison, Elton John, 6 times, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Maria Muldaur, Deep Purple, the Dead, and the Stones to name a few. Regret not seeing, Queen, the Beatles, and Tom Petty. I know I'm missing many, as a few were back up groups for these headliners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Love reading through this thread. Couple big ones for me that I missed. Tom Petty. Was a big deal for me as it was one of my Dads favorite songs was Free Fallin. Billy Idol. AC/DC My Dad took me to my first concert. Metallica. He took me to many concerts growing up. We had a connection through live music. Guess that is why I go to so many shows today. Every show I take a moment to remember my Dad. Damn beers... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) That's what I was hoping would happen with this thread. That some of you would spend some time reminiscing and remembering which shows you went to. It took me parts of several weeks to compile my list. Thankfully I had kept many ticket stubs, memory filled in the rest. My absolute favourite show was Pink Floyd - 1994 Division Bell Tour - Commonwealth Stadium Edmonton Edited August 6, 2018 by 420since1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few reggae and ska shows too. the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow was fun. gwar not really a fan but the show was nothing short on insane ... the minions (what we now call little people) gard the stage and you could try to get through but they fight back in numbers....lol.

Lancaster Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Usually I just enjoy the shows at the PNE... although some of the shows there are decent, with Olivia Newton-John being my favourite. As for concerts.... only been to two, but they were always on my bucket list. Barry Manilow and my favourite, the Pet Shop Boys. I still wish to eventually see Elton John and I wish I could have went to a David Bowie or George Michael concerts. Never much a concert guy TBH.... more into the symphony and musicals, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
