Yeah the Jim Cuddy concert wasn't really advertised very much at all. I wouldn't of found out about it myself had i not checked out the Confederation Centre's website.
It was this past Friday, Justin Rutledge (i think i got his name right) opened, and then Jim played a mixture of solo material & Blue Rodeo hits for 2 full hours (22 songs in all). It was very good, & the girl (Anne Lindsey) he had playing the violen was amazing. She did a ridicouls solo in the middle of "5 days in May" which was insane...i didn't know you could make a violen rock that much!). Anyways it was a very good concert, and the highlights were definitely the Blue Rodeo classics "5 days in May" and "trust yourself", both were simply awesome.
Hopefully Blue Rodeo play the Island on there next tour.
And as for Guns, i found video of a couple of songs from last night, pretty good quality at that. And yeah it's not the original Gunners, but that doesn't change the fact that it was the best concert i've ever been to
"Sweet Child O'Mine"

The same guy has a video of "liquor & whores" with the Trailer Park Boys posted as well.
After seeing Jim Cuddy at the Confederation Centre on Friday night though, we HAVE to get the Hip to play there & the Jubilee someday!
