I'm pissed that I missed ZPZ when they were here last fall. Dweez' is doing his papa right from what I hear.

On the other hand there are these guys: http://www.thegrandmothers.com/ playing here in a couple weeks which would be cool, but I think it is the same night as Drive By Truckers. I'm not sure if I can be in two places at once. :eek:

Tragically Hip in Belleville this weekend (friends & family section)
Black Crowes at Massey Hall (5th row)
Return to Forever (3rd row)

Don't have many - but I've been having some fantastic luck getting seats up close lately.

Black Crowes is the one I'm really looking forward to.

Now I'm pissed I missed it as well! Didn't even know they came here. Was Vai with him when they were here?

Vai is not out with them this time around. At least not to date.

Tarl,

Is that a canadian cover band? LOL. Finally someone who knows the correct pronunciation.

Almost forgot, Mark (Dire Striats) Knopfler in a week or two. Simply the best in my opinion.
