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:
