Canadian Invasion 1994

25 years ago on June 25, 1994 we drove down to East Otto NY to the Griffis Sculpture Park for an all day concert that was billed as The Canadian Invasion. I had never been there before and it was interesting being on the grounds and seeing the sculptures.

It was a good concert despite a break for some rain. We really enjoyed Blue Rodeo as usual and 54-40 and Lowest of the Low. I would see those other two bands a couple of more times in Buffalo at the Thursday in the Square shows. I also liked the Wild Strawberries.

It was exciting to see The Band again although they were without Robbie Robertson they did sound great and tried really hard without him. They had just released a comeback album Jericho which was their first new album since 1977 and it was a good album. I especially liked their version of Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City. 

It was nice seeing 10,000 Maniacs again too.
