Mile Davis - Ottawa Arts Centre ( around 1988 )

Patti Smith & Thee Silver Mount Zion (secret show 2007)- Ukrainian Federation
She read poetry, the band improvised. Some really magical moments, plus it's a tiny venue.

Billy Bragg & The Beatnigs Porter Hall (198?)..notable for the Beatnigs who terrified the audience with a circular saw shooting sparks off of sheet metal. Also one of the band members was using car wheels for percussion smashed his thumb. They were fantastic (so was Billy though)

Jonathan Richman - Ottawa 1990.. memorable because the NDP (socialist leaning) won a provincial election that night and the mood was just incredibly positive. IT was a small crowd so he made us move out seats up closer to the stage - such an incredible performer.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 2011 Montreal (I attended 2 shows)

The Gruesomes opening for The Meat Puppets - Ottawa late 80's... memorable cos The Gruesomes (a Montreal garage band) did a Scoobie Doo skit before their set.
