High on the Lift Locks and Sheetmetal
The last couple of nights have been big ones at the Festival of Lights, Barrage played on Wednesday and the Arrogant Worms came back to play after being rained out earlier in the summer. This was my third time seeing both groups live so I knew there was going to be two great shows.
Barrage was a totally new group since the last time I had seen them, the old ones had all moved on and were replaced by new people and some new music. They still played music from the first group, which I really liked, then in the second have they got into their new music which took us around the world with different styles of music. Some of the highlights for me was the playing of Jonny Cash's "Ghost Rider in the Sky", and "Devil's Dream" played the way Leahy taught us at camp.
On Thursday night I got to the park at 5 just to get a good seat and save some for the rest who were coming later. I got to see them do their sound check, and then I waited 3 hours for the concert to start. They came out to a very excited audience and sang "We are the Beaver". After that it was non-stop laughing until the end of the show. Once again they were sponsored by Ashburnham Sheetmetal, so the sheetmetal joke came randomly, they even changed some of their songs to fit in sheetmetal. "Plastic sucks, unless its credit", they were also sponsored by Ameri-Credit. They also took a few shot at the Lift Locks, apparently they had a wild night getting high on the Lift Locks. But they closed the show with the song I wanted them to sing "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate", that part made my night, and I hope I can be a pirate on the River Saskatchewan.
"A swinging sword, a skull and bones, and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax so screw the GST (SCREW IT!!!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you wanna reach the CO-OP boy you gotta get by me
And its a heave ho, high, ho coming down the plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho hey, high hey farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Rodger on Regina's mighty shores"
