    Triumph is right up there with Rush.

    Rik Emmett is an amazing guitarist and singer.

    Only regret is not catching one of their shows.

    Check them out at the US Festival.

    You can't talk about Canadian artists without mentioning Stompin Tom Connors. :D
    Too bad his prediction didn't come true.

    The only thing that would make this video more Canadian would be to have him wear a beaver hat while riding a moose.

    Pretty funny schtik -- stomping on a board while you play.

    Makes me think of these guys.

    The stomping of the board is because he actually stomped through the stage floor at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. Eventually, it became his stick, but for a good reason. Some bootmaker must have been kept busy.

    Hi,

    Since you are talking about Horseshoe Travern here's another Canadian band that has limited popularity in border towns. (Tragically Hip)



    To bad the lead singer/songwriter passed away back in 2017. Really interesting is finding out where he pulled the lyrics, a lot of Canadian/north America history.

    Neil Young is always 1 of the many on my play list, cool your getting to see him, we got Aerosmith tickets last fall unfortunately was postponed until 2025...

    Regards,
    Jim

    Never seen Neil, but my eldest son and I have seen Loverboy in concert at least 3 times.

    I was fortunate enough to see The Hip on the first night in Toronto on their final tour. Such a powerful, emotional night.

    I'll say it . Neil Young sounds like a whailing CAT stuck in a Burlap Bag that is stuck in a garbage can .
