Day 29. This is here, this is now.

Two days to go and I can't believe that I have yet to mention my #1 most favourite non-country music group!

GREAT BIG SEA!

I'm currently listening to their newest CD, Fortune's Favour, hoping that I could pick one song to focus on. But the truth is, I absolutely love every single song on that album! I can't pick just one. They've been turning out hits since the early 1990's, and are still going strong today.

This past November I went to a Great Big Sea concert with a bunch of friends in Kitchener. It was THE MOST AMAZING SHOW ON EARTH!! (that isn't country, otherwise The Grand Ole Opry obviously holds that title). They're currently on their Fortune's Favour tour, which meant that they sang a lot of the tunes from that CD, but they also sang a lot of their other songs - all of the popular ones that people expect, and then some more. There were probably 5 songs all night that I didn't know the words to; it was pure awesomeness!

I found this guy's channel on youtube, apparently all he does is follow Great Big Sea around to all their concerts and tries to sidestep security to get decent videos of the performance. All his videos are taken from, like, the front row. Its kinda... weird and sad actually. I mean this guy must be filthy rich AND have nothing better to do. But oh well, maybe I'd do the same thing if I were filthy rich; Great Big Sea is just that good!

Anyway, I managed to find one video from the Kitchener concert that I was at:



So much fun!
