091384 Pope John Paul II, Moncton, NB
In 1984 the Pope was on a world tour and he was making a stop in Moncton. There’s no way a young wide-eyed whipper-snapper like me was going to miss a show like this…

041088 MacLean & MacLean with Burton Cummings, Moncton, NB

011787 Triumph/Brighton Rock, Moncton, NB
On January 17th, 1987 I huddled in the cold with my back pressed up against the front door of the Moncton Coliseum. I arrived two, maybe three hours early for the show and was among the first in line to get in. Back then I was a rail-hugger…
