An earlier concert at the Kerrisdale Arena

Spike Jones and his "Musical Depreciation Tour of 1951". It was 1950 so you know Spike was ahead of his time.

Gene Vincent

A couple ads for Gene Vincent's appearances in the Vancouver area. I'd like to find one for the time he appeared in White Rock.

And where it sort of all began.

Tommy Chong

He was part of various bands. And owned an after hours club for a while.

and Bowie came back for more

A month later and two nights at the Coliseum. Missed that one as well.

the BC Place concert, Bowie

I seem to remember the protest more than the concert.

missed a birthday, Bowie's

On the 8th of January I think. Never been a big fan so not remembering how big this was seems okay to me. I just remember being relieved that I didn't get stuck in the traffic that night.
