Place, Vancouver, B.C. 2022. Def Leppard, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Poison, and even part of the backup band, and group Classless Act, were awesome, and amazing.) Loudest Concert(s)?

Best Concert? Rush - R40 Live: 40th Anniversary Tour, Rogers Arena, Vancouver, B.C. 2015. In, and on my top five, and ten, U2 - the Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour, B.C. Place, Vancouver, B.C. 2017 Seen the Most? Rush (Six times. The three others were: Roll the Bones Tour, Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. 1992, Test For Echo Tour, Rogers Arena, Vancouver, B.C. 1997, and Clockwork Angels Tour, Rogers Arena, Vancouver, B.C. 2013) Most Surprising?

(Tie) Rush, Cinderella, and White Lion - Long Cold Winter Tour, and Big Game Tour, Grandstand Landsdowne Park, Ottawa, ON. 1989, Queensryche - Building Empires Tour, Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. 1991, Genesis - We Can't Dance Tour, B.C.

More Rush, and their other tours, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, including Peter Gabriel in the original lineup, too, Yes, and all of the original members, too, Van Halen, with David Lee Roth, in the lineup as the lead singer, too, but I have seen Van Halen, two times, with Sammy Hagar, in the lineup as the lead singer on their For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour, B.C. Place, Vancouver, B.C. 1991, and Balance Tour, Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. 1995. On Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour, Alice In Chains, was the backup band, and group, and on Van Halen - Balance Tour, Our Lady Peace, was the backup band, and group. If Michael Jackson, was alive, and toured more in North America, to Toronto, and Vancouver, then I would've seen him, too, since he has been one of my favorite artists, and I've seen his sister Janet Jackson, in concert, on her the Velvet Rope Tour, Rogers Arena, Vancouver, B.C. 1998 Next Concert? I don't have one planned, yet Bucket List/Bands, Groups, and Artists You Still Need to See (that Are Still Alive/Active/Possible to See)? If Mariah Carey, releases another studio c.d., and album, and promotes it by touring, especially in North America, to Toronto, and Vancouver, and maybe, have a similar tour like Madonna - the Celebration/40th+ Anniversary Tour, then I would see her. I would have to think more of, and about that. Those are some of the concerts I've went, and been to. So far, there are a lot of them.

With the song "Tears Are Not Enough", if there is anything wrong, then what is it? I don't think there is anything against Canadian artists, bands, and groups getting together to raise funds for relief of the 1983-85 famine in Ethiopia. To name some of them, who are in the video, and performed in the song, Geddy Lee from Rush, Kim Mitchell, Tom Cochrane from Red Rider, Bryan Adams, Mike Reno from Loverboy, Corey Hart, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, and Anne Murray, are, and were there giving their time, and effort to do it. From Bryan Adams, the proper, and correct title to one of his songs is called "the Only Thing that Looks Good On Me Is You", too. I can look, and sound prejudice, when United States artists, bands, and groups got together to do the same thing by recording the song "We Are the World", but I like it, and I'm not the type of person, and individual, who would.

At the movie theatre, I watched "Deadpool & Wolverine" in 3-D.

I watched the 2024 Paris, France Summer Olympics Closing Ceremonies. I thought they were nice, and had different emotions like other Olympics. Canada, finishing by, and for them setting a new record at any Summer Olympics in winning twenty-seven medals is a great accomplishment. In the Summer Olympics, Summer McIntosh, tying her for the most from a Canadian athlete by winning four medals including three gold ones was awesome, and amazing, too. At Stade De France Stadium, by athletes, I liked them ringing the bell, too.

To me, between "Operation: Mindcrime, and Empire", both c.ds, and albums are, and have been equal. Without including Queensryche's "EP" because it isn't a full length c.d., and album, they have been a part of their first five classic ones. With "Empire" front cover, what is wrong? If there is a problem, and issue, I don't think so.

I've watched some of the 2024 Paris, France Summer Olympics. I thought the Opening Ceremony was really good. The events I've watched have been mostly involving Canada, like Women's swimming events, beach volleyball, and soccer. Even though it does look, and sound like cheating was done from Women's Canada soccer team by using drones during New Zealand's practices, it was some of their training coaches, who were responsible, and not the women's players because them saying they didn't know any of that was happening, and occurring. I'm glad, seeing they've done most of the talk, and action on the field by advancing to the Tournament's Quarterfinal against Germany. So far, after only a week, Canada, winning seventeen medals is good.

At the movie theatre, on blu-ray combo pack, and Crave movie channels, I watched "Disney/Pixar Inside Out 2" in 3-D, "Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths - Part Three", and "Madame Web".

Even though I haven't been an AC/DC fan, I'll try answering that question, Goose (Allen). In 1986, I saw AC/DC in concert on their "Who Made Who World Tour", and during it, Angus, mooned the audience. When he did, I couldn't believe it. In 1991, I think he started to show his underwear. Where I saw AC/DC on the "Who Made Who World Tour", "Loudness", was their backup band, and group.

"Happy 66th Birthday, Zepp (Paul)". I hope it was an enjoyable day. You are welcome.
