I prefer smaller venues than big arena or stadium concerts.

It really hurts that I missed this show. Didn't he also do a show at the concert hall?
He did one at the Burt of all places. Very small and intimate show and it was amazing! I was there as well. Most amazing musician of all time in my opinion. Was so fortunate to have seen him 3 time’s live. Twice here and once in Lisbon Portugal in 1993. Played to a crowd of over 90,000. Just amazing!!!
That’s a mighty fine list you got there.Toss up between:
Tragically Hip
Styx
Fleetwood Mac
Supertramp
The Police
Van Morrison
U2
AC/DC
Stone's
But I think The Hip at a concert at the old stadium is the best of the best. No one sat down the entire concert!
The good thing about being old is all the great concerts I've seen: The Who with Keith Moon still alive, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones (three times), Tom Petty, so many more.
The highlight was probably Bruce Springsteen in '99 in Fargo (one of three times I've seen him). We had nosebleed seats, but his crew came by about an hour before the show (we were told to get there early) and asked us if we wanted better tickets. We said "sure", so he took our tickets and gave us two tickets for the floor, second row, right in front of the stage. He did that for every show on that tour - the first two rows were all people in nosebleed seats who got there early.
During one song, "Darlington County", Springsteen got down on his knees and sang the second verse ("Hey little girl, you're so young and pretty...") directly to my wife, so for the rest of her life she can truthfully say that she was serenaded by Bruce Springsteen.
great list
I am an old guy too but grew up in Saskatoon so I didn’t get a shot at some of those big bands early. The Who was my all time favorite band and Sadly I didn’t get to see them with Moon. I would have loved to have seen Zeppelin in those early years too but they didn’t get to my area.
I remember bartending in Edmonton when I was 21 and one of the regulars at our bar went to the original Woodstock. That would have been incredible. He grew up in Quebec and moved to Alberta.
One of the biggest sorrows of my life is that I didn’t get to see Zepplin live.A lot of those bands I saw didn't come through Winnipeg back then, either. The Who with Keith Moon did, and I still can't believe it, almost 45 years later. I had to go to Minneapolis to see Led Zeppelin and The Stones (the first time, in 1978).
Everyone I know that was at this concert raved about how tight The Steve Miller Band was....I missed it. 1990 or 1991?Anyone remember the Brian Adams concert at Birds Hill in the early 90s?
Steve Miller and Extreme opened. Not the best concert I had ever seen, but a massive storm hit during the show and Brian Adams kept playing while one speaker was dangling above, lighting in the sky and rain was coming down hard.
It was a crazy backdrop to a concert.
I saw the Steve Miller Band with The Eagles at a huge outdoor concert at Assiniboia Downs. They weren't my favourite bands at the time but it was a happening. I'd probably enjoy the concert more now than I did then.Everyone I know that was at this concert raved about how tight The Steve Miller Band was....I missed it. 1990 or 1991?
I thought that about the band that was with Joe Cocker around 2003 at the Burt.

Mar 2009: Country-rockers a winning $13 bet at the track 31 years ago
We lined up early in the morning, paid our $13 bucks (or so), and had a prime spot.Some friends and I watched that concert for free sitting in the grass alongside the west perimeter.
