On this day in 1979, The Outlaws at the PNE Gardens in Vancouver.
I primarily went for the opener Sad Cafe. However very glad to have seen The Outlaws. I wore a Sid Vicious button as it was announced he had died earlier in the day. #MusicSky

January 31/1979 The Clash played their first show in North America at the Commodore. They were touring in support of their 2nd album Give Em Enough Rope. Opening acts were Bo Diddley and The Dishrags. Very memorable night and one of my top 10 Commodore moments. #MusicSky

On this date in 2004 I began a 3 show run of David Bowie’s “A Reality Tour” in Calgary, followed by Vancouver and Seattle. Saw 2 more shows on the second North American leg in Winnipeg and Kelowna. One of my favourite tours. Never imagined it would be my final time seeing DB. #Musicsky

On this day in 1980 Ultravox played Vancouver for the first time at the Commodore Ballroom. Despite showing singer John Foxx on the advertising, he had left the band and been replaced by Midge Ure. The opener for the show was Vancouver’s AKA featuring Dennis Mills.

On this day in 1979, my 2nd of 7 Ramones shows. I have DOA as the opener in my records, not Pointed Sticks. January 1979 was a great month of music at the Commodore Ballroom with Devo, Blondie and The Clash. Well covered in the book Live at the Commodore by Aaron Chapman.
