Concert Footage by Robert Lansdale| Concert Footage by Robert Lansdale |
After seeing dozens of Spoons concerts over the last 25+ years I finally got the rare opportunity to videotape a concert, 'up close and personal', and on a great summer day, August 23 2007, near the Toronto CNE Midway. The following is an edited version of this concert in Windows Media format.
I would also like to thank the Spoons for having both a direct and indirect influence on my life, and what has come about from that influence. They were one of the key links in the chain of events of my early 20's which lead to much bigger and greater things.
