and some of the special ones were...

Pretenders - CNE Colliseum. The original band. Raw, powerful and LOUD.
Elton John - The O'Keefe Centre (now Hummingbird). Solo with his piano. All the early hits in their pure form.
Tara Maclean - HMV Bloor Street. In-store performance. Enchanting and charming.
Paul McCartney - Air Canada Centre. Beatles songs you thought you would never hear live.
Alanis Morissette - The Phoenix club. An intimate club warm-up show before a big tour.
Crash Vegas - Lee's Palace and the Horseshoe. When Aurora came out. Mesmerizing.
The Cure - CNE Stadium. During the Disintegration tour. Totally engrossing.
Julianna Hatfield - Sam The Record Man. An acoustic set. Casual, relaxed, laid back.
Peter Gabriel - Air Canada Centre - In the round. On another level.
The Cottars - Hamilton Place - Traditional, modern, innovative.
Chantal Kreviazuk - Massey Hall February 2007 - Mature, confident, personal. Highlight - fully acoustic Far Away.
Roger Waters - Rogers Centre (Skydome) - Dark Side of the Moon right through and almost all of Wish You Were Here made us comfortably numb.
