Gord here while Ian, Mike and Erin are off. The Wiseguys did it. Friday after the show, we packed up and headed east to Montreal to begin our weekend to see the Van Halen concert.
Arriving downtown, the first thing I noticed is how different the artistry is in the skyscrapers. There is a wonderful marriage of old styles and modern techniques that left me in awe.
Also awesome was the Bar B Barn, world famous for ribs and I could see why. So mouth-watering were the ribs, they are tied for top spot with a rib place in Memphis for my all time favourite ribs.
Now to the concert. We arrive at the Bell Centre at 8:30, got some refreshments and I got a big pretzel. Coop bought himself a Van Halen t-shirt to match Ian and I and the cool thing is that the booth was selling the shirts with 2 prices on them, one for $40 dollars and the other for $45. Finally! The lower price was Canadian and the higher price was American dollars.
What another wicked show Van Halen put on. I thank my brother for providing the ear plugs as I did not have the ringing in my ears like I did at the show Ian and I saw a month ago (see earlier Van Halen blog).
Sunday morning came and we piled back into the SUV and came home..a few pounds heavier and a lot wiser, which to a Wiseguy is an achievement in itself.
Now how to work it so I can see them in Vegas at the end of December.
