Just found out Garth Brooks is doing a concert at the Calgary Stampede this year. I found this out 20 minutes ago...the tickets went on sale this morning and sold out almost immediately. I'm so upset no one told me. I guess it's for the best though since I know I damn well woulda used my savings to go.

Wow! Mr. Roland has been to some arena's. Springsteen's on tour now, so hopefully he's coming to your area. You must find a way to make it to a Rush concert. I'm wearing a t-shirt today from the Snakes and Arrows show 5 years ago. I saw them again 2 years later at the end of that tour. Then they went out again last year to support the live album of the Snakes and Arrows shows. I'm afraid it will be quite a while before they're around again, but those tours were very successful, so maybe they'll keep on rolling. See them!

I will not even try to list prior concerts I have attended but thought I would mention that I went a Blues show last Saturday. All local acts but five hours of blues.
Going into the concert I thought five hours would be too long but the music was good enough that time flew by. As good as the blues acts were the best was actually an African Drum band led by Chata Addy.

I'll keep on the lookout. I heard they have a new album coming out in June, "Clockwork Angels". It's supposed to be all about Steampunk. I'm really interested in hearing that one!
