Posted: 3/7/2008 8:42:47 PM | | my first concert was when my dad took me to see the Rolling Stones play on the Voodoo Lounge tour at BC Place in 94. I think the Spin Doctors opened that show, (whatever happened to those guys?). Then a year later I saw the Riverdales open for Green Day at the Pacific Colloseum. I never knew who the Riverdales were at the time, but I know love their stuff, and they split up a few years ago. Then, I didn't see another concert til Warped Tour '98 where Rancid, NOFX, Bad Religion, Reverend Horton Heat, MXPX, Cherry Poppin Daddies, and a bunch of other bands were playing. And I've been to a million other shows since then!! | |
