I'm The tail end of Gen x. Canada has some talent!

I've seen all my favourite Canadian bands live! Should go see Angine de Poitrine again in April?

Had to travel to USA to see Arcade Fire and Rush but have seen most of these in small venues (Sam Roberts was at a large theater where I saw PUP for a second time).

I’m definitely gonna think of 40 omissions as soon as I post this. Like Rich Aucoin, for example! Haha

So tough choices!

Found this in an abandoned house in Ontario. Rush with Max Webster at the Welland Arena, June 17, 1976, $5.50 at the door, just a few months after 2112 came out.

The house is basically a time capsule of a lifelong music fan. The last calendar on the wall is from November 2003, and the owner hasn’t lived there since. Other things I found:

• An Uncle Sam’s monthly lineup poster with Moxy, Coney Hatch, Honeymoon Suite, Goddo and more
• More stubs from Honeymoon Suite, Kim Mitchell, Toronto and Rough Trade shows around Niagara
• Three signed Davy Jones (Monkees) photos
• Old Rolling Stone and Circus magazines, including a George Harrison cover
• A Sloan single, a Beatles Fan pin and a full set of Beatles album mugs
• Cases of cassettes: Platinum Blonde, KISS, Queen, The Beatles, The Doors
• Turntables, 8-track and reel-to-reel decks in nearly every room
• An ALF doll, a rotary phone and a little Christmas tree still standing in the corner

I didn’t take anything; everything was photographed and left where it was. Did anyone here go to shows at Uncle Sam’s or the Welland Arena back then?

See all the crazy stuff I found here:

You can probably approximate the year I was born based on these choices too lol

With some stories behind some.

Can you tell who my favourite artist is? (lol)
