I live down in Livonia and grew up right in Clarkston so I'm always out that way. I like living in Livonia because I'm pretty much centered with all of the venues in the area.

Coma16 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Any idea what the best route there is, coming in eastbound 401?I want to avoid the CNE area if possible.401-DVP-Gardner- get off at Spadina exit but stay on the right side that says Lakeshore. Make the 2nd right to make your way up Bathurst.I did get a (free) ticket so let me know if you guys want to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 What did you think of the Iron Maiden show in Bucharest compared to the others you went to on this tour? (I was at that show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 What did you think of the Iron Maiden show in Bucharest compared to the others you went to on this tour? (I was at that show)Performance-wise it was pretty good. Not the best I've seen on this tour, but far from the worst. Out of the 10 gigs I saw in Europe, I'd probably rank it behind Stockholm, London (Both nights), and Helsinki - and probably on par with Istanbul and St. Petersburg. Better than Malmö, Moscow, and Zagreb. Venue was great - up there with Bergenhus Festning in Norway as my favorite place I've seen Maiden play.I admit it's a bit hard for me to view the Bucharest gig objectively, since I had backstage passes since Anthrax was on the bill, and I got to meet Janick again, and Bruce for the first time, as well as watch Anthrax's set from the stage, and one of Maiden's crew guys I know pretty well gave me a bit of a backstage tour of Maiden's gear, and got me a bunch of freebies like setlists, guitar picks, the personalized sweatbands the guys in Maiden wear, etc. So experience-wise I have to say it may be my favorite Maiden gig ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Saw Leonard Cohen in Manchester on Saturday. Unbelievable show, over 3 hours, lost count of the encores, here's the setlist:http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/leonard-cohen/2013/manchester-arena-manchester-england-53c66f09.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I got Vodka'd up to my eyeballs and went to see Leonard Cohen at the 02 Wembley a year or so back...ended up sitting next to, of all people, some bloke who used to work for the management of The Slits...after about 3 songs in i felt like i couldn't hack anymore and left. I think it was a bad idea to get heavily pissed and go to a seated gig with an 80 yr old man performing. Y'know when you're just too tanked to sit down? Was like that. On the other side of me was this massive Czech bloke with a cowboy hat on that began talking to me about his obssession with the computer game 'Final Fantasy'. I think that played a part in my leaving too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Was jealous of a mate of mine who got to see Stone Roses reunion gig at Heaton Park in June 2011. He got so pissed he could barely remember it. What a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Was jealous of a mate of mine who got to see Stone Roses reunion gig at Heaton Park in June 2011. He got so pissed he could barely remember it. What a waste.I went to that gig. Was he about 5'9, with a grade 4 haircut with about 5 other City supporter mates? Because if so I smacked him in the mouth. Probably not likely as there were a few score thousand people there but y'never know Edited September 2, 2013 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hah no, he doesn't even watch football Think he went to the third night. Wish I'd heard about the Finsbury Park gig this year, one of my coworkers went, lucky bastard got to see Johnny Marr and PiL too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit.Still thinking about trying my luck with a Met Club membership. Ugh.Anyone here a Sirius subscriber that wants to try to enter and win tickets for me/us?
