Was thinking about this the other day. What were all the venues over the 40 years of GL concerts. Which ones still exists. Which ones does GL still play?
What ones do you know the most?
Which ones are the best?

I noticed that there's people from all over on this forum so would love to hear any responses.

The only one I know is Massey Hall in Toronto. I've only seen GL 3 times. Not sure the years. ..guessing 1971, 1985?, 1995?

But my first was when I was 17 and WORKED AT MASSEY HALL as an usher.(had bad fitting dark paints and silly red jacket to wear). He had his 2 week run there then. One of two of the ushers could stay for the concerts to help people out and you'd get $6 extra bucks or so..on top of the $14 or so for the seating of people. Well I stayed every nite for the two weeks. WOW.
I remember how I loved Alberta Bound and many others of course.
I think that was the year of the Palsey thing going on.
