What show in Toronto? Hell, I'm still kicking myself for not going there last summer. How often to you get a chance to see The Stones, Ac/Dc, or Rush for $20, let alone all three for that price.

Where was that show??? Man, that'd fucking rock! My first concert was Rush on the "Power Windows" tour. It was absolutely amazing, and sticks with me to this day. We get absolutely nothing like that around here! Fucking Oklahoma sucks for concerts. We'll get some classic rockers playing the Zoo ampitheatre or the Fairgrounds, but they always come on like a Tuesday night. Man I gotta get back to the coast... I'm going fucking stir-crazy here in the middle of nowhere!

You guys suck!

Heh heh heh... You don't know how close I really am to going.

You being stuck in the middle of nowhere and going stir-crazy actually explains a lot to me now!!:D :D

You're kidding me.... You didn't hear about the "SARSStock" benefit concert in Toronto last year?

Basically, Toronto needed a serious influx of cash to their economy because the SARS scare earlier in the year had killed the town. Apparently some big wig in town had connections with the Rolling Stones and was able to land them as headliners. The Stones had become friends with Angus & Malcolm Young over the duration of their "40 Licks" tour and had jammed with them on stage to old blues songs a few times, so Mick & Keith invited them to come along. And of course it wouldn't be fair to have a concert like this in Toronto without including the hometown talent, so Rush jumped in. All for a ticket price of $20. And that was Canadian!

How the Hell did you not hear about this show? Even you Okla-homos have to get news like this

Sounds like my kind of night :D

Now that WOULD be a party!!

Nope, still didn't hear about it. Fuck! What a show that must've been! Angus Young is one of my favorite guitarists. I still can't believe he doesn't get the respect he deserves. I swear, I'd rather listen to a guy like him than any "virtuoso". He's like Elliot Easton of the Cars. He plays the absolute fucking perfect solo for the song! Even if it's not one of their better ones, the solo always fits fucking perfectly. Eddie used to play that way, and I stress used to! I believe that's a good 80% of why I can't stomach Van Hagar. Yeah, Spammy sucks and all, but Eddie has become a cheap copy of himself ever since fuckin' Spammy entered the picture.

And Ally, you're making me feel kind of funny... You know, funny down there...:D Oh the thing's I'd show you... Uh um.. Nevermind... Better close this before the little miss' catches me...

This, I remember vividly.
I used to live in Muskogee.

The only decent concert I saw was in Tulsa when Ozzy came to town.

There's a good roadhouse in Rentiesville, though. A BYOB place that features live blues. Good stuff.

[John Ashcroft]

I saw Ozzy at the Fairgrounds in OKC. It was awesome! But a rarity for this area.
