Yeah, 1993 ARA shows would have been on my next 5 -- if I recall, that was Ottawa at Lansdowne Park. I have a not great sounded boot of that show. I think anywhere but Canada Hip would have been opening for Midnight Oil at that stage -- Midnight Oil had some huge hits at the time. I recall thinking they were OK, but I never really got into them, likely because Beds are Burning was overplayed.

I do remember Hothouse Flowers were pretty good. Daniel Lanois was also on that bill, and did not go over that great -- a bit mellow for a outdoor festival show. Maybe Crash Vegas and Spirit of the West on that tour? The next ARA I liked some of the support bands much better -- I saw a few stops on that one. Was my live introduction to Wilco, Sheryl Crow was pretty good, Matthew Sweet was in his prime....

I think Wilco and Sheryl Crow (also Ashley MacIasac and Los Lobos) and Matthew Sweet was 1995 (along with Ziggy Marley and Blues Traveller).
