1. James McMurtry - Lee's Palace (529 Bloor)
It was a toss up between JM and OCMS, but I decided to catch JM. When I saw him in 2007 at the El Mo, he was amazing.

1. The Gaslight Anthem with Tim Barry and The Menzingers - The Sound Academy (11 Polson St.)
Dude. I would go to this gig just to see Tim Barry! The Gaslight Anthem is an added bonus. I am turning into Grandpa Simpson so I bought a VIP ticket so I could avoid all of the underage kids. Get off my lawn!

1. Rush - Air Canada Centre (40 Bay St.)
ACC shows are out of my budget, unless its Neil Young, or Bob Dylan. If anyone wants to do a guest review of a Rush show, shoot me an e-mail. Better yet, if anyone wants to give me a ticket....

Definitely Rush - classic prog rock and some of the best musicians of all time - yeah!
Totally! Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band. And they are NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame! I need to write a blog post about this issue. There is also a new Rush documentary out called "Beyond the Lighted Stage." I need to ind it!
I saw Rush when I was 18, and they were sweet. I also saw Rush in 2002, and they were good as well (although I got a little too intoxicated at the 2002 show and was up until 6 in the morning)
