Concert Update
Well, it's that time of the season. The time where I spread my wings and enjoy the fact that I'm not living in Newfoundland! Sounds stupid eh? The thing is back home we don't get many big acts to come through, or even small acts! It's just to expensive for these bands to play back home, the fact that we have a small population doesn't help much either. Well I already have three big acts lined up now for the next month.
The first concert I will be checking out is Sarah McLachlan at the Molson Amphitheater in Toronto! I got pretty good seats, section 201 so I'm pretty content with that. It promises to be a great show. I've actually listened to Sarah for a long time and I do really enjoy her music. I've listened to her new album a lot so I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the concert a lot!
The next concert/concerts I will be going to is Pearl Jam!!!! They are actually going on tour really soon for the "Vote For Change tour", a tour with a lot of other major acts to try and get Bush out of the White House. Pearl Jam is a very political band and I respect that a lot, after hearing a lot of their live concerts they are always commenting on current world events and they have always been vocal about their own beliefs.
I'm actually going to drive from Waterloo to Ohio to see them play on Oct 2nd, it's only a 4-5 hour drive. Then I'm going to follow Pearl Jam to MI and see them again on Sunday night, the third. I was thinking about trying to catch the Friday show but it's a little bit to far for me to drive to and I think two shows is enough, this way I won't have to miss any work, oh joy. Anyway, it's going to be wicked. Only shitty thing is that I'm probably going to be doing this by myself but Jesus!! It's Pear jam!!! lol
Right after I see Pearl Jam I get to go see Metallica on oct 6th in Toronto! Now that's going to be a messed up concert! I tried to get General Admission but they were sold out but I did get level 100 seats so I'm not that far off. That's going to be a wicked show just to see their older stuff played, you know? Load can lick my nuts and the reload can lick my ass. I don't care what you say about Metallica and napster, I'm going to enjoy the concert. I actually hate them for what they did and said but I'm still going to support them by going to their show, dammed if I will ever buy a CD by them.
That's what's on my plate right now. Should be some good times ahead!!! I will comment and post pictures when I go to the shows.
Cheers,
Daryl
