just thinking about my youth and all the bands i saw in them...

@Lilymoon saw them twice at bc place. once in 1989 (hadn't been to vancouver in 17 years) and once in the early 90s (was an expensive birthday gift for my brother) sure hopes he remembers that and doesn't charge me for 300 dollar ac/dc ticket 🙏

@beermeplease whoa I hope so too 🤑

@LunarOrbit my biggest regret is never seeing rush....i still have vinyls from them

@beermeplease Saw them twice. Signals tour in TO (with The Payolas)
And Presto tour with The Tragically Hip.
Probably my most listened to band…up there with Pink Floyd. (Which I wish I got to see).

@Fullmetal gonna see ac/dc hear in april 🤘

@BuzzedLightyear i think they opened up for aerosmith or alice cooper when i saw them...aerosmith i think.

@NativePortlander1970 thats a cool story....i see a little bit of 'ports history in them drum heads 🤗

@beermeplease To this day I'm pissed to no end at my 5th grade band teacher, he asked how many of us wanted to play drums, three of us shot our hands up, but he said he only had two spots, so we had a drum off. He chose Ravel's Bolero, which has a simple repeating snare that I caught onto near immediately and kept up, which impressed my teacher, he asked how I knew how to catch a beat so fast, so I told him Smitty Smith showed me, when he didn't believe me my mother confirmed it. When it came to the other two they were both all over the place and unbalanced out of rhythm. But guess who got the two spots? Yep, tweedle dee and tweedle dum, why? Because they had piano lessons the year before and I had not, just so they could be drummers in the 5th grade band. This was in my first year in an iowa school, in 4th grade I was in an Oregon school, where piano lessons weren't required to take drums in 5th grade band.
