Colleague in my office said his daughter in Vancouver is going to fly to Paris next year to see Taylor! Apparently it was easier to get tickets there than for the 6 shows in Toronto. Also, for some weird reason, a flight to Paris was cheaper than a flight to Toronto!

X Files was filmed in Vancouver until the final couple seasons. At the Stones concert in Vancouver 1994 saw David Duchovny on the floor at BC Place. X Files had just started so he wasn't too well known. I pointed him out to the girl I was with but she wasn't familiar with the show.

Quoteshawnriffhard1 QuotePalace Revolution 2000 QuoteDaveG Anybody know which show this if from? It's odd. There is that bit of feedback right at "I got the wiggles in my knees" like on Ya-Ya's. And they sound so well lubed up, that it has to be the East Coast. But the way Jagger's mic stand is bopping, that looks like a low rent kind of stage. Maybe not the Garden.

Ed Sheeren just played Vancouver last night and drew a record crowd for the venue, 65000, beating U2 by 1000. Both stages were "in the round". Ed also played in Vancouver Friday at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Seems like a smart thing to do to design a stage in the round so you utilize every seat as well as all the floor. I remember the U2 documentary about their tour and a possible

Iga plays later on this afternoon. I hope Alcaraz wins the mens, not a huge fan of Novak. Caroline Wozniecki has been a great story, taking time off to have a baby and now returning and doing well. Leylah won her doubles game this morning with Taylor Townsend so they're into the quarter finals! Go Taylah!

Quotenorthof49 Not so sure that the problem isn't management rather than coaching. It would seem that no sooner does a Canadian female tennis player attain any real success on the court, I'm talking Genie Bouchard, Bianca Andreescu and now Laylah Fernandez, then they're immediately splatterd all over the t.v. screen doing multiple ads for multiple products (Especially Laylah -got t

Yes I am! Town is pretty good now compared to a week ago, had rain a couple days ago. When it comes to tennis, I'm a big Leylah Fernandez fan since she's Canadian. So frustrating to watch, she's talented but screws up, she definitely needs a different coach just to help her with her serves!

Damn, I forgot I saw Bonnie play with them in 06 in Vancouver on Shine A Light, don't recall if she just sang or played guitar, too! And of course, Sheryl Crowe has played with them a few times over the years but did she just sing?

My favourite 60s Stones album! First album of all Jagger/Richards songs and a move away from the bluesy influence of the earlier albums, which set them apart from their contemporaries. Brian was at his peak for the album, with all the exotic instruments sitting around RCA Studios in Hollywood that he picked up and learned but unfortunately the beginning of his losing interest in guitar, but his
