Growing up in northern BC did not give me a lot of concert going opportunities; but, my first concert was in Prince George, BC. It would have been 1985 or �86 and I saw a Cdn. hairband named Helix. My cousin talked me into smoking BC bud for the first time as well - show was OK. Next one was Honeymoon Suite in 1988, which my then girlfriend talked me into going to.
Going to university in Toronto, then living in Vancouver let me see a lot of concerts, some of which are:
Rolling Stones � Steel Wheels in �89.
54/40
Prince � scenery was simply amazing, seemed like 80 % women at the show. He put on a great show as well.
Ministry
Allanis Morisette (free tickets).
The Tragically Hip
Pearl Jam with Foo Fighters opener.
Beastie Boys
AC/DC
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Metallica
Pixies
Would like to see Rush in concert some day. I play around with drums a bit and Neil Peart is a rock percussion god.
Cheers,
Rob
