Plenty of good seats available to watch the boys of summer, and the pizza and beer are so much better at the Rogers Centre. I mean.... it must be... 'cause it costs about a thousand bucks (each).
-
Toronto Argonauts
You gotta' love a team that is owned by Wayne Gretzky and John Candy! What? Really? nevermind... I am a bit out of the loop.

Black Sabbath
They're just like KC and the Sunshine band.... kinda. Their live concert DVD "The Last Supper" is a must see. I saw them at Cobo Hall in 1977. Joan Jett opened for them.... epic!
-
Led Zeppelin
A music reviewer told them that they were gonna crash and burn like a "Lead Zeppelin"... that is one of about 100 theories on where their name came from. I saw them on April 30, 1977 at the Pontiac Silverdome. The ticket - which I still have - was $10.50 (USD). They are still underrated.
-
AC/DC
They made over $100 million last year... but they don't give a crap about that. They just want to play their music.
