I have been....

[lurker..]

...lurking here for YEARS...i joined many, many years ago but couldn't remember my name here or my old email addresses....I had generally nothing of value to add anyway...hahaha.....I have read the post continually through the years....even through those dark years where it didn't seem possible that Dave and the Sisters would ever be able to work together....I don't know why I am finally joining....most of the excellent things that have to be said are posted before i can anyway....you have all done a good job and congrats on WARF getting into see the show in NY. I am from just outside Toronto, Canada

...anyway....

VH shows I have attended:

Hide your sheep tour (maple leaf gardens)
1984 tour (maple leaf gardens)
VH3 tour (shiver.....Molson Ampitheatre)
2004 Reunion (horrible show....ACC)
2007 (two fridays in a row at ACC in Toronto).....

DLR shows I have attended:

Sometimes you take the good with the fucking horrible piece of shit crap why oh why oh why oh why o why (gnashing of teeth).




In any case...Welcome!

[Sensible Shoes]

Please consider coming to shows in Toronto and Buffalo. We've been in the same building a couple of times already!

[lurker..]

well....VH3 because i had free tickets....3rd row so i could see boney cherone do his little dances.....i still have nightmares....and 2004 because my wife had never seen them....and i had hoped...hoped....that it wouldn't be as bad as it turned out......i recall her turning to me and saying "is this what you have been talking about all these years?"....i tried to explain the Hide your sheep tour....the 1984 show...the drop dead kick ass EEAS show and skyscraper...but she would hear nothing of it.....it sucked...and she let me know....

the last two shows in toronto with Dave and Vh together again I took my 10 year old (at the time) son to both...he loved it....this time wifey is coming again...but this time...i have taken the time to educate her....i have made her listen to the classic dave era stuff (and forbid her to listen to JUMP)....and her education is coming along well......she can name the full bug, romeo delight and many others from the opening seconds....she loves it....and now...by god now...i have just dropped the bomb on her and have her loving bullethead.....so here we go......this album and tour are gonna be fuckin' killer.

[lurker..]

thanks Sensible shoes....i dropped 800 bucks on the third tier pkg to get in the first 20 rows at the acc....so i don't know if BUF is in the cards.....damn, damn tempting.....i looked today and there is nothing there.....section 309?....up in the heavens and behind the stage...hmmm.....but it is so tempting as it is a friday night which is perfect!!!

if they add a show in toronto then i am in again.....i saw them twice last time (i wish i had known about the special RIM show as i could have weasled in and made it a hat trick)....

[twonabomber]

2007 (two fridays in a row at ACC in Toronto).....

first show was Sunday, i think...Cleveland on Wednesday, and TO again on Friday. saw all three, and a couple guys here did recon during the setup of the RIM show.

DLR (Casino Rama)

saw that one, too. there's a bootleg out there. at DDLR i said it should be titled The Long Road To Rama, but i don't know if you'll find it under that name.

It's easy to forget that for every person who posts here there are 10 who only read.

Good to see someone stick their toe in the water, it's not as cold as it looks.

I KNEW I felt someone watching! Welcome, Lurker...another Canuck is always welcome... (duck! Here it comes...)

[lurker..]

ha.....thank you so much for the welcomes....i shall continue my lurking...unless i have something brilliant to add.....you might turn all shades of blue and purple waiting for that to happen. I could have sworn that the last two shoes were in toronto (outside of the RIM show) were fridays....I am clearly showing my age...then again...any show with Dave at the helm feels like a weekend night!!!

[Sensible Shoes]

ha.... I could have sworn that the last two shoes were in toronto

Now we all know there is only one Shoes!!!!!

[lurker..]

hahaha....i missed out on all that fancy book learnin'.....spell check might be beyond my abilities.

[Nickdfresh]

It's cool to have those with insight on the site. Welcome lurker...

[guwapo_rocker]

spell check might be beyond my abilities.

Ahhhh you're from Hamilton.

[lurker..]

close enough to Hamilton to enjoy the sweet smell of industry...and far enough from Toronto that i don't get tainted by the loony left....

.i saw them twice last time (i wish i had known about the special RIM show as i could have weasled in and made it a hat trick)....

Welcome!

Yup, I totally got lucky on the RIM show. Had 5th row floors. RIM VP hooked me and a buddy and his wife up. Saw 'em all 3 times in TO last tour.

[lurker..]

Nice....very nice....i doubt there will be anymore employee corporate shows now with the direction RIM is going.....Your RIM contact wasn't drinking on a flight from Toronto to Hong Kong by any chance was he?

[Diamondjimi]

Haha, no. My contact (by proxy) was/is one of the VP's of RIM. Very cool dude!

[lurker..]

can he do something about the fucking BBM crapping out from time to time?....I am guessing that you might be out from London somewhere.....I spent some years in London in my early days.....saw Ted Nugent and Rush at the London Gardens I think it was called.....around 80-81.....first year of high school for me....Nugent was fuckin' awesome!!!...I never did go and see rush again....
