Hi Richard,

 AA> I can't even remember the exact date when I last saw a
 AA> live band.  Let's see if I recall...  I've seen over the
 AA> decades:

 AA> Nash the Slash, Rush, Billy Joel, Men Without Hats, The
 AA> Box, Roxy Music, Jennifer Warnes, Dollie Deluxe, Melissa
 AA> Manchester, Sass Jordan, Carolyn Maas, Gordon Lightfoot,
 AA> Bryan Adams, Luba, Tom Cochrane, Colin James, Bruce
 AA> Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Holy Cole, Gowan, Loreena
 AA> McKennitt, Long John Baldry, Jacob Moon, David Wilcox,
 AA> ..and even Nana Mouskouri. Don't judge me!  LOL

 AA> I'm sure I've missed recalling a few more.

I *did* miss at least one more in the list: Chris DeBurgh  
(Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto).  That one was quite the  
experience.  The stage was set up at one of the narrow ends. I  
and my friends were pretty high in the "nose bleeds" at the  
OPPOSITE narrow end corner.  Couldn't really see the little guy  
on stage much at all. It was pathetic to use binoculars, but  
that's what I did.

After that experience I pretty much bowed out of any concerts  
unless I could get within 15-20 rows of the stage in a large  
venue.
