[mistyqueen]

I remember the Big hair bands. My brother loved AC/DC, Iron maiden, Motley Crue , Prism, Cheap Trick, OZZY, Black Sabbath

This song's beginning used to freak me out the weird voice Ozzy does when he says I am IRONMAN.

oh and the Motely Crue song "shout at the devil"

There was one by iron maiden that was creepy.

Iron Maiden = God

and from Canada: Northern Lights - Tears Are Not Enough  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sffvr99W4gM

Ah yes, Northern Lights.  My Gr 9 basketball team went on an exchange visit from Wpg to Woodstock NB (1985?).  Changing planes in TO, we saw Corey Hart on his way to the recording session.  Imagine our poor coach trying to control a bunch of 14 -yr-old girls screaming and following him through the terminal!!!  My friend even made it onto the National jumping up and down screaming!

Thanks for the memories....

Wow, what a great thread...gotta agree with Triumph, who I saw in Halifax in 1987.  A couple years ago, they released the Halifax concert on DVD - talk about bringing back memories.

Anyone from Halifax in the mid to late '80s will remember these:
Lee Aaron - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_UUn1Zp1M4
David Wilcox - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsQRNbNCQdw
Doug & The Slugs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwwPmNWQfIY
Nazareth - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ66UO-iKpc (edit - Dan McCafferty played the bagpipes during "Hair of the Dog" at the Misty Moon concert as well as in this video!)

A much over looked Canadian band from the late 70' was Goddo.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb2ddcSDC0A

And of course, who can forget Teenage Head (saw them at Ontario Place) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZI6v8Z6Q6E

I remember Metagenesis, that is to weird. I used to watch them at the Embassy and the Northwood among other things.

Whitey used to run the Embassy with some big bald dude ex-airborne type.

When I was in Banja Luka in 00/01 Boy George came on a concert for the troops.  A young Canadian Captain (forgive me - I can't remember his name) was assigned as Boy George's escort.  I ended up being invited for breakfast with Boy George and crew - a most amusing meal, watching the superstar hit upon the young stud - who had only the vaguest of ideas of what was going on!!

 

[PMedMoe]

Dire Straits, love em, also Mark Knofler solo stuff.

Love Dire Straits!!!

His brother, David Knopfler, is a singer, too and sounds a lot like Mark!
