I went to the Def Leppard concert Friday night at the MTS centre. It was Fuckin' A (that's a direct Joe Elliott quote). I love you, Def Leppard!
Citrusboy was kind enough to get me tickets for my birthday and suffered through it like a man.
The Tea Party opened up for (or as it's called now: supported) Def Leppard and I must say, even though I was kind of upset that I didn't get to see Brian Adams instead, they were really good. Way better than I expected. During the break, after Tea Party's set, I did something quite silly.
I got this T-shirt. 'Cause I'm cool like that, folks, yes indeedy.
I will actually wear this thing out in public. But not to school. Because if I ever hear "Who's that?" I will have to kill myself.
The guy who was selling them was hilarious. He was all "They don't pay me enough to do this or that". So when a couple on the left of me wanted a shirt off the display, guess what answer they got. Or when they complained that it wasn't fair, because someone else got a shirt off the display. And then the guy on the right of me, who had been waiting for a while, had to add "Life's not fair, bitch. Get over it." I thought I was going to laugh right in their face.
One thing I find interesting about concert-goers in Winnipeg is that they are all very well-behaved. No insane rocking-out. No wild dancing in the stands. Some swaying, some singing, but nothing like Toronto, where people go CRAZY. And here they drink a lot of beer. I mean copious amounts of beer. People would even leave in the middle of the concert to get more beer. I guess some people go just for the beer. But I did smell pot, so I guess at least one person was rocking-out, or at least was well on his way.
All in all, I had an awesome time, even though we were one of the youngest people there. I probably can't say the same for citrusboy, but he did say it was worth the ticket price so he had to have some semblance of fun.
Yay, Def Leppard!

You sure won't go unnoticed with that t-shirt ;)
I'm curious, was the ticket expensive ?
i used to love those fuckers back in my highschool days(daze).
i wanted to cut my arm off just to play drums for them.
no.
thats a lie.
i like my arms.
i have the same b-day as joe though. i was at a show of theirs (during 2 armed drummer times) and they sang happy b-day to joe.. it was my b-day too but noone seemed to care about that part.
Tickets were about $45? I think. Not that cheap, as they were actaully in the largest, brand-new arena in Winnipeg.
Too bad about the b-day thing, popfizz. It was the drummer from Tea Party's b-day. But no Happy Birthday was sung.
45$ ? That's quite good for that group. I was expecting more really.
madman: If your like me you, like the body that wear it, dont lie ;)
