Collective Soul!  Won these tix from the Bear and brought Mike along.  The best part was when they played Highway To Hell!  He brought a friend from Ottawa U and we all had a great time.  Memory: The drunk couple in front of us!  🙂

Erica, Larisa, Phil, Joe and I took off for Montreal where we went to a really cool pub.  Crows were alright but the Live concert was spectacular!  Think being five rows away helps the experience!  Galaxie opened.

Who DOESN’T like AC/DC?  Danny, Mike and I drove from Kap to see this wild concert.  Slash’s Snakepit opened and they played Nightrain.  AC/DC was great with their classic rock symbolism.

Notes about this show written in 2019

19 years later and this is still one of the epic concerts Eric and I went to.  Epic in that I arrived in Ajax, Eric never showed up and then I got in touch with him Saturday afternoon in Kingston.  Turns out that he lost the address of my Aunt’s place and couldn’t find her in the phone book so stayed in a donut shop all night long hoping that I would come looking for him.  He went back home the next day.  When I phoned him up, I convinced him to hop back onto a bus and come down for a great show.  A great story.

Notes from scrapbook:

Cool things happened concerning the OLP concert.  First off I won 2 tickets AFTER I had bought some but also sent in a vocal review of the show into the band’s website.  THEN Amanda got us into the soundcheck where we met the band and got their autographs.  Mike was a very cool guy who seemed to be in it for the fans.  I went with Ryan, Larisa, Joe, Amanda, Lindsay, Shawn and his friend.

Notes from scrapbook

Went to this concert at Fed Hall with Larisa, Kevin and friends.  See Spot Run opened and that’s where I busted my glasses!

I remember we were excited to ring in the year 2000 by going to this concert.  Then it got cancelled.
