I know in their later years they did a few acoustic tours but so do the Eagles and they can still be brilliant.
Rick Parfitt has been gone almost a year already. One of the greats.
I cried when he died...seems like yesterday....he certainly lived life though you have to smile thinking about him

That is a fab picture.
"Rod the Mod" ... they called him.

Oh WOW, Blue...these videos are awesome! I remember during the 70's, Al and I were right into Country & Western and just couldn't get enough of it...

One of the big concerts that we went to during that time was The Tex Ritter Show at The O'keefe Centre, Toronto. It was amazing. That night Loreta Lynne was at The Horseshoe Tavern and came over to The O'keefe and performed with the folks at our show...

I can still recall Tex's tour bus parked at the side of the venue...and it was something else...

Isn't it amazing Blue...how our lives crossed in so many ways eons before we actually met? Conway was a huge star...when I was at Quality Records in 1958/59 with "It's Only Make Believe." Yet when he'd pop in from time to time...he was as down to earth as anyone could be.

I'm not positive Blue...but I think Frank Sinatra was huge in Vegas during the 40's, 50's & 60's... I hate to say I've never been to Las Vegas...

Re: Have you been to a big concert?

I know Filly, I have thought about it many times. Even you lived near me when I lived at a place in Toronto, Can't remember the name but you lived right up the street and I lived near the park when I first got married......oh what is that name......"something" Pitts...

Was it Christie Pitts? I can't remember....

And I see you have been at the Horshoe Tavern. What a great place with lots of big country artists. I was there LOTS, probably sat near you, I was always up near the band......

And Maple Leaf Gardens, yes many times also.....

We sure did have a connection, long before we met on an internet forum........and remember I told you when I saw your Wedding Photo that you looked exactly like my sister who died?

Edited to add The O'Keefe Centre......aren't we fortunate to live so close to Toronto where all these big stars come. It is only 1/2 hr train ride into town for me. Guess for you it is a bit longer, but not much.

Yes Frank Sinatra had big time, mob connections and the Flamingo Casino was mob owned. I stayed there on one trip, it was wonderful.....

We better put that on our Bucket List.....you have to experience this just once, it will be the biggest "high" you ever had..........

The Strip is alway lit up, you can't tell if it is night or day around there.....

Re: Have you been to a big concert?

Good morning Blue...I have been reading and rereading this thread trying to find where you said that you'd seen Stompin' Tom at The Horseshoe Tavern but I cannot find that post...unless, of course I dreamed it...

Any-whoooo, I just wanted to tell you...he is and always will be a favourite of mine. His special sound and the way he presented himself...will live on forever. He put so many of the little towns and big cities in Canada front and foremost with his unique brand of music...

I always wanted to see Stompin' Tom Connors...but time ran out for him, at such an early age, that I never did...

Lucky you...

Oh so you met Conway also? I didn't remember you telling me that. AWESOME. He was a little short A** but he doesn't look that short when he is on stage...I think he was so handsome, I loved his singing.....but I always hated what he did at the end of most of his songs, by putting his hand up and swirling it around. I don't know how to describe it......
