Calgary Stampede: Coke Stage acts announced

[Daradon]

Saw Live live a few years ago in Melbourne, they put on a better show than I had expected. I LOVED the album Throwing Copper but found a lot of the stuff after that kind uninspired. They put on a good show though.

I won't forget that show because the news of Saddam being caught came down that night and they mentioned it during the show telling all the Aussies, 'all their boys would be home soon now'.

Heh.

Not laughing at the situation, but at the comments from the band. They were always a little bit pro christian. Not that that's a bad thing in itself but their support for the U.S admin and cluelessness of the war came out that night big time for sure. Some things they said, sung about, definitely hit some fundamentalist warning bells (unless I was completely wrong).

But even though I disagree with that, I think they still put on a great show and like a lot of their music.

I might go see Tom Cochrane. Depends what's going on that day. A lot of those others though, I wouldn't go see.

I find the sound at the coke stage usually sucks unless you're right in front of the stage.

I have heard Live is one of the very best live bands on the planet. I saw them perform on Regis and Kelly show and it was perfect.

Keshia Chante is playing. Teeny boppers, unite!

Don’t miss your chance to see Barney’s sing-along live show. Barney will delight young children and parents alike with well-known songs and music from Barney & Friends including favourites like Fun, Fun, Fun; Happy & You Know It; I Love You.

If I am at the stampede on the 10th I am going to avoid the Coke Stage like the plague. In fact the majority of the fans that will go too see Good Charlotte will be enough to keep away from the Stampede all together that day.

`Uh...yeah...you've got them wrong.

Supporting the troops and those of their audience shouldn't be construed as 'support for the administration'.

They are definitely not supporters of Bush. Never have been.

What mindset does one have to be in to make that sort of interpretation?
