Role reversal.

I took my son to see John Lee Hooker at Ontario place when he was 4 or 5. It was 1990 or'91. Now he's a professional bass player.

So that was you sitting in my seat when I got there!!! My friends and I had to sit in the aisle until an usher finally came and moved the people who were in our seats.

I figured that you'd remember.

i was a young teen when my younger sister and i went to the Beatles concert at MLG in 1964.....she was desperate to go...me i couldnt careless...i was not a Beatles fan then and never ever been quite frankly....she had bragging rights...me? i couldnt wait for it to end............screaming tweens, flashing cameras....i probably thinking..."let me the hell out so i could listen to some R&B...lol...

Queen at Montreal Forum in 1981. They made a concert film out of it.

I don’t remember the exact year but it was the late 70s I believe. I went to exhibition Stadium and saw Kenny Loggins, Boz Skaggs and Fleetwood Mac were the headliners.

Triumph in 1981 - Always hoping they get back together.

Bob Marley at Convocation Hall, last century.

The Stampeders at the old roller rink on Ontario street in St. Catharines in 1973 I think.

Alice Cooper... twice

KISS - I believe it was 1979. Maple Leaf Gardens. Lots of fireworks.

Boston with Sammy Hagar opening-1978 at MLG.

Saw the Beach Boys at the Ottawa Auditorium in Feb 1965. Mike Love threw his bracelet out into the audience and a girl I went to school with caught it. I imagine she still has it today.

Bob Seger and Alice Cooper, some time in the 60's. Leon Russell, Lighthouse, Tina Turner in the 70's.

Early 80's, The Stray Cats at Massey Hall. I think The Deserters opened.

Def Leppard 'Adrenalize' tour in 1991 at Maple Leafs Gardens.

I saw that tour!

Not at Ontario place, rather, London. I couldn’t believe I had a chance to see him spontaneously with a cute chick I’d been seeing back then.
He looked SO damn old but wow what a great show.
