Spiel Posted October 12 Report Posted October 12 I can't believe that I somehow I missed this summer tour when they played in TO.
Spiel Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Anyone? I'm certainly not the only old guy here......

Spiel Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Seems fishing related with all of the "fishing related lyrics."

In the same musical vein...and I also include Blood Sweat & Tears...Toronto's own Lighthouse had that same big multi-instrument (brass and strings) sound and vibe. Played at our high school twice, and we'd go across town to see them Friday nights at the Knob Hill Hotel. Great memories...although somewhat fuzzy due to alcohol and illicit substances..

Spiel Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 Big fan of The Stranglers as well. Here's a shot of me and Hugh Cornwell when he signed my vinyl copy of Aural Sculpture. Oh and Caroline Cambell. 1
CrowMan Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 (edited) My wife and I have tickets to see Bruce next Sunday....courtesy of a birthday gift from my kids (wow...ticket prices are getting ridiculous). I first saw the Boss in 1977 at MLG (half bowl)...he put on a 3 and 1/2 hour non stop show with nobody ever sitting down from beginning to end. Those shows early in his career were electric with energy..I have seen him 11 times since, and he never disappoints. Him still doing it at 75 years old, gives me hope.. This is a great performance of one of my favourite tracks..Bruce and Clarence at their best. Miss you Big Man... Edited October 25 by CrowMan
Spiel Posted Sunday at 10:12 PM Report Posted Sunday at 10:12 PM Shop music today included much of TH while I put the finishing touches on the last pieces of "Project 10 2.0" 1
CrowMan Posted Sunday at 10:29 PM Report Posted Sunday at 10:29 PM Great track ! I can still remember hearing "Talking Heads: 77" for the first time as an 18 year old...listened to it 3 times in a row in my buddy's Steve smoke filled basement..

I recall very well the first time I heard Psycho Killer CM. Myself and three friends were heading to Keswick for my first ever Simcoe ice fishing adventure, an over night Smelt fishing adventure actually. It was 1977, I was 17 and my friend Rob who was driving slammed the 77 cassette into the tape player, I was immediately hooked on The Talking Heads and have been a fan ever since. FYI....the Smelt fishing was insane, buckets of some of the biggest Smelt I've ever seen and those days I believe sadly, are long gone. 1

Great show, and somewhat political given what was going on south of the border then....similar to now. My wife and I went to a concert this Saturday at the exact same venue...now called Meridian Hall. We saw the "Life is a Carnival/Last Waltz" tour... a tribute to Robbie Robertson by a "super group" of musicians, including a couple of the Heart Breakers. Fantastic show ! However, when we booked the tickets, we didn't realize it was the same night that Tay Tay was doing her thing at Rogers Centre. The GO train ride in and out of Union from Oakville was entertaining in itself...quite the mix...Swifties decked out in their glittery regalia, Leafs and Oilers fans in Matthews and McDavid jerseys, and graying hippies still trying to squeeze into their old black t-shirts with "The Band" across the front.. Yep, Simcoe Smelt are now just a fond memory. Fortunately out in eastern Ontario come April you can still fill buckets up by Eganville 😉 Edited Monday at 04:44 PM by CrowMan 1
