What music have you been listening to lately ?

[Teeder Keon]

Saw Grand Funk at Varsity Stadium, it was epic........

What a great venue that was at the time

 

[Captain14]

I think I saw at least 3 farewell concerts by the Who, and there still touring.........

Ain’t that the truth!!

 

[therealkoho]

My brother saw Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon tour at Ivor Wynn Stadium in the Hamilton, nowhere to go but down from there.........

I was at Ivor Wynne that day, it was the Animals tour, they played the whole album took a short break and then came back and did side 1 of DSotM and then encored with Set the Controls

 

[Captain14]

Here's my guy.....SRV Live at Montreux, 1985.

Very nice!

Tarawnna I think it was in exhibition stadium??? it was outdoors for sure, I think I was around 20 or something

Also love everyone of these awesome bands you have listed ... we were so lucky
Talk about depth !
In the 60s and 70s great bands were 15-20 deep every year with musicians and lyricists and performers never to be seen or heard again

Nah, I’m talking about the DSotM tour. I saw the animals tour in Clevland, they didn’t play Hamilton on that tour, only Montreal.

Beatles as I just watched the movie- ‘Yesterday’ last night.

I was BBQing today and set up the outdoor speakers and one the albums I put on was The Beatles(White Album)

I love those guys and have since I saw them that night in '64 on Ed Sullivan, my Dad said "they won't be around in another year!" little did he know

That and Rubber Soul. Two of the best Beatles Albums. Surreal

I grew up 2 min from that old stadium
The rat infested dingy damp crapfest they called dressing rooms were awesome just to be there and play there .. and watch there

I'm rather happy that I kept my turntable and 2500 albums the way the past year has been. Here's my setup.

Great album, not many double albums with all killer no filler.

I have the luscious Beatles in a vault or time out for a while , you know what I mean , but I’m sure I’ll be leaning there for the 100000th time again shortly

Nah, I’m talking about the DSotM tour. I saw the animals tour in Pontiac Michigan, they didn’t play Hamilton on that tour, only Montreal.

don't mean to argue chum but it was definitely Animals Tour at Ivor Wynne, it was the one and only time they played there, that said I didn't remember them doing the whole DSotM but apparently they did and finished up with Echoes and not Set the Controls

Pink Floyd Setlist at Ivor Wynne Stadium, Hamilton

I’m so jealous!! Seriously...sweet set up.
I want this so bad, but the market of buying old LP’s is quite ridiculous.

it was great playing in there, my first year in Jr they still had grass, they put in the astro turf after that season,the first game on the astro turf, I had no idea how much it was going to tear me up, I got my dad to take me to Kenesky's the following saturday to buy some hand to elbow forearm pads and knee socks, I swear to god I still have discoloration in the inside of my right arm

They certainly were trend setters in every sense.
Just think of the primitive equipment they used to record in the studio and STILL achieved complete gems.
I mean... 100 watt Vox amps for live shows miked up with the PA sound system. It’s hilarious.
There is no way the fans at those early Beatles shows heard anything.

 

[therealkoho]

Great album, not many double albums with all killer no filler.

My youngest has been buying me the Giles Martin ReMasters, The White album really pops, I mean it always did but now the clarity is friggin crazy, I'm hoping he does Rubber Soul and especially Revolver

Loved playing there ..
Also that memory of Pop Kenesky and the boys reminded me of the 3steps up to the door and the beautiful aroma of leather , and seeing if we could find some equipment that was from a NHL goalie

I can only remeber through the "acid flashbacks" if it weren't for them I'd be a blank
