BB King

Saw this concert only because my husband is a huge fan. I'm not really into blues. He was good though, when he played. He kept stopping to tell stories. He had a whole brass brand that was really loud. This strangely enough was one of the loudest concerts I've ever been to. It could have been where I was sitting, way up in the highest level. Of course the man can play the guitar, oh yeah.

Venue: Jubilee Auditorium

Jimmy Whiffen

This wasn't exactly a concert per se but he's such an amazing solo artist that I had to add him. I've seen him three 3 times now and intend on seeing him again when he comes back to Edmonton. He plays that guitar as good or better than any of the guitar legends throughout history. An extra added touch is when he plays the harmonica along with it. He also has a great voice and his song choices are awesome. They're ones everyone knows where we can all sing along. And when he sings a newfie song, the place goes wild. If you'd like an enjoyable night out, I highly highly recommend going to see him at whatever bar he happens to be playing at. His schedule can be found at: http://jimmywhiffen.com

Trooper

They have really good songs. Enjoyed singing along to them. The crowd was rowdy and annoying. They kept reaching up for the lead singer to try and touch him. The lead singer kept extending his scarf and seemed to be into them pawing him. It's like he and half the audience thought he was all that when he so wasn't. He was an average looking guy who was a good musician and that's it.

Venue: Red's Edmonton
When: about 1999
