I saw him twice...would go again if its soon lol....the first time was at massey hall..it was a small venue in Toronto and I had good floors about 15 rows back... we power drank before the show and then of course when the show started we power smoked a few doobies and the next thing I know I am spinning out of control....or at least the venue was......I was going to be sick so I get up....during a ballad where the audience was all seated and just a spotlight on van Morrison.....I see the red ''exit sign down by the corner of the stage and i'm maybe 50-60 feet away so I start running down the aisle towards the stage .now this part I remember like it was yesterday.....as I am running towards the exit sign trying not to puke I loo at van up on stage and he is watching me run down the aisle towards him....he has kind of smirking as I turn at the front row and run across the front stage left side and burst out the doors into the alley where I proceeded to get very sick so technically I didn't see that entire show.....I saw him later at maple leaf gardens and it was an awesome show ashaliscous asked me which shows I went to that sucked and I had a really hard time thinking of even one.....I know I was at the ''police picnic'' and nash the slash was boo'd off the stage but I only know it....I don't rmember it.....same with Brownsville station....they were boo'd off the stage at maple leaf gardens....I was there but I don't remember it....at that show I was likely in the bar during the warmup act which was my usual routine so what shows sucked for y'all?...maybe it will jog my memory ")

I could never list everyone I've seen. Worked the biz in many positions from door and merch to stage manager, tech and concert director. I've even catered. Folks I was delighted to see in lists above: Zilla /EOTO/Other SCI side projects Fareed Haque and his many bands. Earworm of the day is Poodle Factory. Schwag. I sat in on a Ripple encore once in Norman OK, playing mandolin. Arlo Guthrie People I've seen that might stand out/ burn memory circuits CW McCall 10-4, good buddy my first ticketed show. I was... Five? Six? Bob Marley. I was 10 or 11. Uncle Monk...well, half the band might trigger.. Tommy Ramone. John Denver 3x Air Supply 4x, and I still go occasionally. Crowd watching is a hoot. Steve Kimock. Couldn't count the shows, might be able to name all the projects. Steve told me to check out Fareed one night at Chester's Place. Pete Seeger Colin Hay, singer from Men at Work. He does acoustic shows now. Quite good. Hamsa Lila KanNal Anoushka Shankar & Ravi Shankar Jello Biafria
I've been to a lot of concerts, and only at one did the following happen: I left my seat to get a drink. On the way back, I passed a man in the aisle who smiled at me and said, "I can't stand that guy." Who was on stage, do you think?
