Some, but not all, of the Most Embarassing Concerts I Have Ever Attended :
Tom Cochrane (circa 'Life is a Highway')/Amanda Marshall
at Centre 200 in Sydney some time shortly after my 13th birthday. To date the largest concert I have ever attended. I have been in attendence for Reveen, Ewoks on Ice, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Big Foot at Centre 200 and all of them were more entertaining than Tom Cochrane and Amanda Marshall.
Glass Tiger
at Parliament Hill, Canada Day 1986. Later that summer I saw Rita McNeil at the Canadian Pavilion at Expo '86. It was a pretty awful summer for music. In 2005, Glass Tiger played in my old town of Kanata for Canada Day. Kanata is like the Spryfield of the Ottawa area.
the Platters
at the Savoy in Glace Bay. I was definitely old enough to know better. My mom and I went. I had to convince my mom to go with me which makes memories of this concert all the more painful. I don't even think one original member was performing at this concert. The Platters are essentially a franchise like McDonalds. It's like seeing a Ronald McDonald at a McDonalds and thinking it's the same one that's in the ads. We sat next to my religious education teacher. I really need to bury this memory deeper.
