Music

There has been some unbelievable concerts in Saskatchewan over the past year or so. Just off the top of my head ...




The Foo Fighters - the only show I've seen where they had a totally different stage set up in the middle of the arena where they moved to half way through the performance to do a half hour acoustic set.















The Eagles - 3 shows in Saskatoon ... 3 of them!!! All of which sold out, and all of which rocked!














Green Day - They win the craziest audience participation award. About 10 times they had people from the crowd on the stage singing their songs or playing their guitars. It was mind blowing!










The Offspring - Maybe the coolest guys I've seen on stage. At the half way point, they did this little intermission thing where one of their fat roadies came to the front of the stage and waved his hands back and forth to some hilarious music, during which they threw out massive beach balls and had jugglers come on stage.











Collective Soul - Just went to this one on Friday ... I've had several chances to see these guys in my life and I wish I would have done it sooner .... It was an intimate show, which means we got real close without getting crushed. They sounded awesome and their guitarist blew me away!!
















ACDC - Hands down, best concert I've ever been to. The energy of the 40,000 people their, the stage show, a monster sized Rosie tapping her foot to the music while humping a train ... BEST SHOW EVER!!



Now we look forward to the next big shows .... Kiss and GNR.

I know which show I would rather see ... but what about you?

This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time. It might be more for people who really appreciate musicians. This was taken from all around the world by many random people ... all shot by the same guys and then spliced together afterwords. Amazing work really.
