Can my nose actually start bleeding from this far up?
Opening band: Randy Bachman
Thoughts of the show:
- Trish and I went to this show with the thought of grabbing the 300 level since a) tickets were pricey and b) we aren’t the hugest fans of Skynyrd.
- I don’t know if this was due to Skynyrd or not, but security was having a field day with busting people for smoking up. My favourite moment was a guy being escorted out of the washroom and him saying “Someone told me it was legal as long as I smoked in the bathroom man!”
- While I don’t follow much Randy Bachman, I was blown away by their set as he played his greatest hits and I then realized that I know quite a few of his tunes from BTO and the Guess Who. They even had his son Tal Bachman play his 90s hit ‘She’s So High’!
- We had a killer spot in the 300 level since there were so many empty seats. We just found a couple of seats that weren’t squished between other people.
- Skynyrd did not disappoint. Let’s be honest, we all are there for Free Bird and they delivered. My face melted a little
