[Puppet Guy]

1) Motorhead, Reverend Horton Heat, Nashville Pu$$y - 2009, Flames Central/The Palace.
Three bands that at face value wouldn't have much in common, but under the surface they had a common link of basic rock n' roll played LOUD. All three bands had energy to spare, and well, LEMMY!!!

2) Iron Maiden - 2008, Saddledome. I'd been waiting to see Maiden forever, and the Somewhere Back in Time tour gave me the chance. Maiden are incapable of ever putting on a bad show. Made all the more memorable for being the concert that turned Mrs Puppet into a metal fan.

3) Rush - 2015, Saddledome. My third Rush show, and also the last as it was the R-40 tour. Knowing it was their final tour - and now with losing Neil Peart - made it more memorable.

4) Headstones - 1995, a dive bar in Charlottetown PEI. Venue the size of my living room, Hugh Dillon with a personality/ego big enough to fill it and the band with talent to match.

5) KISS -1985, Lethbridge Sportsplex. My first real concert. They had taken off the makeup by this time and were clawing back. All the smoke, fire, explosions and noise had such an effect on the teenage brain.
