Corb Lund..I've seen thing guy everywhere from Nanton to Edmonton..selfishly I hope he never makes it because he belongs in small venues!
The Smalls. I have yet to see any live music this intense since Corb went country..

BNL... early stuff was amazing
Big Sugar's early stuff
Downway...Calgary punk band that shoulda made it

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
I went to Disclive to download that LOTL show in early Sept and it wouldn't work. So I emailed customer support and this is the response I got (and the last I've heard from them) despite the fact that my credit card WAS billed.
You recently contacted DiscLive Support regarding 'Re: Your DiscLive Order Has Been Received'. We have just responded with the following message:
Dear Customers:
Over the last several weeks, DiscLive has experienced major growing pains, personnel changes and technology upgrades. Having to manage one of these issues is quite a challenge, but all three at once has significantly impacted operations. This transition has taken longer to resolve than we expected and as a result, our customer service, fulfillment and shipping departments were all affected.
In addition, there were several shows recorded in July and August (Pixies Japan, Soulive, Devo, Kenny Loggins and Lowest of the Low) that did take longer to process. That’s because we were not able to duplicate CDs on-site at some of these concerts but rather had to make copies after the show, ship them to our fulfillment house and then on to you.
We realize these issues have caused understandable frustration for our customers. Please accept our sincere apology. As the new head of Customer Service, I hope you will give me the chance to win back your trust and your business.
Most of the changes made are designed to improve our customers’ experience and provide you with a better product in a shorter amount of time. We are confident this will happen and humbly ask for your patience as we are work diligently to fulfill your orders.
Sincerely,
Carey Marin

Crap! My credit card was billed as well. I ordered the fully-packaged CD way back on Sept. 8th and the disc still hasn't arrived. I e-mailed them two days ago but I haven't heard anything yet. I certainly hope they'll still fulfill all the orders that people were billed for.
hey lowest of the low fans: I used DiscLive as well and i just recieved my copy a few days ago. So there is still hope. I had troubles downloading as well but that got fixed like 10 days later. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!
