Saw the Clash at Rich stadium. I believe it was 1981 with the Who and David Johansen with most of the NY Dolls. Utterly fantastic day. 

The were touring with The Who on their *farewell* tour.  I saw them on that same tour, but I am almost certain it was 1982.  Tory Crimes (Terry Chimes) was back behind the drum kit as Topper was having a tough go of it with heroin at the time.  Great show, but terrible venue (CNE Stadium in The Great Satan - a terrible venue for just about any event).  I left right after The Clash who played just before The Who, if I recall correctly.  Anyway, I did not stay for The Who.

When I name Quadrophenia among my favorite albums, many people are not familiar with it. This is a documentary (a little long... an hour) about the making of the album, what inspired it, and a few points I wasn't aware of. I really think it is one of the finest albums ever made.

The full double album

65 is very young, but he had about 165 years on him.

He was Irish through and through.  One of the comparatively few Irish *Macs*.

Fleetwood Mac the 1960s blues band, long before Buckingham and Nicks

Oh Well was when I discovered there was a whole other Fleetwood Mac I didn't know existed before the McVie and Nicks era.  Oddly enough, whenever heard Parts 1 and 2 together, I didn't realize for a long time that they were parts of the same song.

A great song, one of many Peter Green wrote and played. Tragic how short his early career was. Here's another:

*Just between you and me* ... it's a sad day.

We were just talking about April Wine in the Random Thread.  

Myles had 'retired' from touring just last March - his last show was in Truro, NS.  He had health issues and he must have knon that the end was near.

Sadly, now there is no chance for a miracle and @Taro T will be able to see the fantastic band - there is no April Wine without Myles Goodwyn, even though I think the 'band' is still playing live and were working on a new album.  Halifax's greatest contribution to the rock and roll scene.  

I saw them in 1980 and they were fantstic.

RIP Myles.
