About
GLASS TIGER IN CONCERT:
Canadian rockers Glass Tiger are a fierce five-piece band that's been hammering out the hits since 1986, and they sound as fresh as ever nearly 30 years later. Lead singer Alan Frew still knows how to command the stage with his sharp, impeccable vocals and rich guitar strumming while his bandmates shred out solos on hits like "Someday" and "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)". With their popular alt-rock tunes and on-point musicianship, Glass Tiger always brings the house down when they perform for eager ticket buyers on their can't-miss tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The members of Glass Tiger â singer Alan Frew, keyboard player Sam Reid, guitarist Al Connelly, bassist Wayne Parker, and drummer Michael Hanson â first got together in 1983 and performed under the name Tokyo. They earned their big break a year later playing for sold-out crowds as an opening act for Boy George and Culture Club on tour. They attracted attention from several labels at the shows, eventually signing to Capitol Records and changing their name to the current moniker. They earned widespread acclaim with their four-times platinum-selling debut Thin Red Line, which featured the smash hit "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" â a song that peaked at No. 1 on the Canadian Songs chart, earned the band three Juno Awards, and launched them to international stardom. Glass Tiger continued to enjoy success with their follow-up releases Diamond Sun (1988) and Simple Mission (1991), which they supported with extensive touring throughout their native Canada. After a hiatus that saw the band's members pursue various other projects, the group got back together in 2003 to perform local shows. Although the band has had a lineup change since reforming with new drummer Chris McNeill, Glass Tiger still knows how to rock a crowd and deliver a hit-filled live show.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Great band, did it get seats I selected
by Seka on 2023-12-03Grey Eagle Event Centre - CalgaryEnjoyed Glass Tiger, the old band can still play! Disappointed by the venue. I did not get the seats I selected when I ordered tickets online. I selected seats on the bleachers and got Sec 2, Row Q, on the floor far right. The couple sitting next to us shared that they specifically selected centre Row M. What went wrong? How did we get different assigned seats?

by PaBs on 2023-02-21Bronson Centre - OttawaThe sound was great, the show itself was amazing the venue was great, my only complaint is the Ticketmaster app that is quite slow at bringing up the tickets and slow when being scanned.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great band, good venue, light and sound could be toned down
by Middle-aged fan on 2023-02-21Bronson Centre - OttawaGreat performance I won't forget. Wished I didn't have to use earplugs to keep my ears from hurting because it was so loud. Wished the lights were not directed into my eyes (balcony) so I was not half-blinded every 30 seconds or so. Still worth the pain, though.
