Funny you guys are talking about bands that were popular in Canada 25yrs. ago. I had the RUSH album All The World's A Stage in 1977, lol. Haven't seen them in early 80's.
I was down in Texas a bunch in mid-90's.. went to the local bar & what band was playing.. 'April Wine'.. hadn't seen or heard about them since I was a kid, lol.
You see.. these aren't actually the 'most popular' bands in Canada.. actually they tour south once they get old & burnt out and nobody wants to see them anymore in Canada, lol.
Other Cdn. bands I've seen (quite a few actually) but a couple of decent ones to note.. I worked as a personal bodyguard for Bryan Adams back when he played at the Juno Awards. I also worked for Sarah McLaughlin back in '91 when she'd only had one CD released (I didn't even know who she was when I got the job, lol).
I used to work for a bunch of different bands when I was a kid.. even the BeachBoys once, lol.
