A terrific show tonight, as we (literally in some cases) dusted off some rare rock and roll collectables. All apologies for showing off my ample stomach; fortunately you got to see some equally ample collections as well! Kiss, Leppard, Maiden, Sabbath…we brought you some of the coolest vintage items and stories to go with them. Ticket stubs? Lots! Tour programs? Got ’em. Things you didn’t know existed? Check that box off as well. Random stuff sent to us by Aaron? Aye carumba!
Guests tonight included John Snow who has a nice collection of autographs, and Harrison Kopp with some rare old CDs.
Next week is the 2 year anniversary LeBrain Train with Rob Daniels and Tee Bone (and hopefully more)! Thanks for watching, as we roll into a 3rd year of the Train!

One of the many concerts I’ve seen at the Centre in the Square in Kitchener over the years. We had a membership there so we had first crack at tickets. A long of front row and second row seats. Marshall was great live. Her band was awesome, she wore a sparkly suit, and had so much charisma on stage.

Hey that’s interesting to hear. Fan club’s going mp3. I just noticed here that the few music magazines that are still going (Mojo, Uncut) seem to have gone mp3 too. They have had sort of “indie” hits collections and every once in a while cool collectables like cover albums and such. Was shocked to see the latest classic rock magazine boasting on the cover about the mp3 link to free music instead of having a cd glued to the cover..just sad. Hope they are not all following this trend.

It makes sense as a cost cutting measure, putting a track online cost virtually nothing compared to the relatively cheap pennies of making a CD. Plus you have guys like Deke now who don’t even have a way to play a CD anymore.

Some of mine like the Def Leppard and Deep Purple were bought at deep discounts after the tours were over! Nice investment eh?

The Leppard one was bought at Wonderland, by my sister, some time after the Hysteria tour. Old stock on clearance.

I had a third one which was Poison from the Flesh and Blood Tour but like the live show from 91 it was crap…I gave it to my sister a few years ago when she went to see them with Leppard I believe…

Sometime I see on Facebook people saying, “Poison always put on a good show, always gave value for the money.” I always think, “Oh yeah sure, tell that to Dekes!”

I agree 100%! I wouldn’t have named it this, but Brian kept calling them “dolls” at the end.
Yeah OK…dolls with bloody axes and guitars…dolls…sheesh!

I’ve seen pictures of John’s tour book collection on his website, but it was really cool seeing him show them off on the show! Great stuff, Mike!
