Ah Doug and the Slugs. I saw them at Country Living Days in Chilliwack when I was about 19. Back then we used to bitch about a beer costing a buck and a quarter in the beer gardens.

I guess they still liked playing in that bar. Can't remember the name of it. There was a fire a couple years later and I don't know if they ever re-opened it.

I recall it was a good show, even if I can't conjure it up in my mind's eye.Yep, paid $5.00 to see Trooper and Sweeney Todd, I think I paid $20 to see Def Leopard back in 80's and that was a few weeks before their drummer lost his arm.

Anyway, I recommend you don't, because Wiki says I'm off by a couple years on my Heart memoirs. I went to Van twice, each time for a year, first in '72 and again in '74, so it must have been '74 or '75 when I saw Heart at the bar on West Broadway.
