Great Show
by Beth on 2024-05-28Casino Nova Scotia - The Bruce Guthro Theatre - HalifaxRating: 5 out of 5Have to start with a story about what happened when my friend and I were sitting out in the lobby waiting for the door's to open. These two ladies from Newfoundland sat down beside us to wait for the door's to open also. Across from where we were sitting was a big mural on the wall with Myles' picture and a list of all his accomplishments. While we're sitting there this guy walks by and the two ladies sitting beside us said to him "hey, that's you on the wall isn't it". The guy just laughed and kept walking, and I will admit he did look like Myles, so I'm wondering if it wasn't a family member or something. But these two from Newfoundland didn't know that Myles had passed, I felt bad when I had to tell them. And I did see this guy inside at the concert. Anyway the show was excellent, I'm still in awe, Brian came out first and gave a little speech about how this show was dedicated to Myles, and by keeping the band going was their way of keeping Myles' writing and all his songs alive. So all of you non-believer's out there that are saying that this isn't April Wine anymore that they are just a cover band, you couldn't be more wrong. And remember Myles did hand pick Marc to join them and he does a wonderful job, it's like they've been injected with new life or something. They did a couple of songs that I'd never heard live before or hadn't heard in a very long time. I'd say that the crowd has accepted Marc into the band and you could tell that he was very appreciative of that, it must have been hard from him to come out on stage knowning that this was where Myles was from and wondering how he would be accepted and I'd say he was. I for one can't wait till they come back and I can see them again. Vocals were shared between Marc, Brian & Roy and again an excellent show and if you get the chance make sure you go see them.
