Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will close Giants Stadium in New Jersey. For those of you that live under a rock, the famous stadium, the home of the New York Giants among others, will be demolished before the end of this year. How appropriate that Bruce Springsteen, who has sold out the stadium 16 times in his career, will be the last entertainment act to grace the stage.
I am not the sentimental type people – I am more of the lady killer type but this is a historic set of 3 shows and you gotta check it out. SaveFans.com let’s you Pay What You Want for Tickets, so take advantage and get your Springsteen tix baby!
Vancouver is one of my favorite cities in the world! Great nightlife and beautiful women to boot – what more could a red blooded boy want! Anyways, as always I want to provide you with the 411 on the best live events occurring in YOUR hometown! So without further delay, allow me to recommend the top events in Vancouver, Canada from May 15 through May 28.
Scott Weiland at Commodore Ballroom Event Tickets – The former frontman for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver may have his problems, but the man can flat out sing. Tell me you aren’t fired up about this one my Canadians!
Saturday May 23
Jay Mohr at River Rock Show Theatre Tickets – TV sitcom and film star Jay Mohr is making his first appearance in Canada in over a year. Be there to witness this pillar of comedy kill with his ‘grey’ material.
Saturday May 24
Animal Collective at Commodore Ballroom Event Tickets – The hippest of the Hipsters from America are coming to a Vancouver near YOU! I have seen these guys perform live multiple times and will be in attendance on this night as well. Love me some Animal Collective.
As many of you know, SaveFans.com is staffed chalk full of concert loving Canadians. Love the Great White North baby!
I decided to share with you what I think will become the definitive list of Top Ten Canadian musicians of all time. This promises to be better than our world famous Top 10 Jewish musicians list. Gotta love Canada baby! Without further delay, we present you with the Top 10 list.
Number #10 – Celine Dion
Celine Dion is flat out one of the finest singers to ever walk the planet. Say what you will about her musical selection or fashion sense, but this classy Diva from Montreal has some massive pipes! Celine is also a savvy business woman who earned a reported $100M+ for her two year stint at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas…wow.
Number #9 Snow aka Darrin O’Brien
Admit it! This makes you nostalgic. This Reggae jam owned the airwaves and dominated MTV’s video rotation in the 90’s. Informer, something something something…yeah! Ironically, Snow has since moved from Toronto, Canada to pursue a career as a doctor in Toledo, Ohio.
Number #8 The Guess Who
The Guess Who were straight up cool. They ruled the roost in the 70’s and represented Winnipeg well. With hits like “Shaking All Over” and “These Eyes” almost everyone in North America is familiar with their work. Seriously check them out. They are doing a short tour with most of the original band in tow. I recommend that you catch The Guess Who at Del Mar Fairgrounds on June 23! Worth a trip to the States no?
Number #7 The Tragically Hip
Us Canadians know that the Tragically Hip are more than the REM of Canada! The crew from Kingston have entertained us for years and always bring the goods. Show your support my lovelies by going to their shows!
Lukas won Rockstar Supernova, basically American Idol for Rock in 2006. Lukas is a brilliant musician and vocalist that we KNOW will make Canada proud. His new album will be coming out later this year, so we encourage you to support this young and emerging talent from Toronto, Ontario.
#5 Gordon Lightfoot
While, he may not be your cup of tea, he is for your parents and laid back folk! I saw him perform in Vancouver a few years back and it was a special experience. I urge you to support Gordon by checking out a few of his prime shows.
This Jagged little pill was a pillar of Alternative Rock in the 90’s. Famous for several awesome and iconic videos that ruled the MTV video rotation, Alanis may be best known for dating fellow Canadian Dave Coulier when she was ONLY 15 years of age. Scandalous!
Number #3 Neil Young
Neil is the elder statesman of rock. Beginning with the Buffalo Springfield, moving on to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and finally as a solo artist, Neil embodies what it means to be a musician’s musician. Living in Los Angeles, you grow to appreciate creative professionals opinions and the consensus is unanimous – Neil Young is boss. Anyone going to check out Crosby, Stills, and Nash without Neil Young?
Number #2 Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams is the Jesus Christ of the mid 90’s love song. Once cast as lead for the film Don Juan DeMarco, Bryan Adams had to settle for merely writing a song for the film when the studio got cold feet and replaced him with Johnny Depp. He wrote a little song called “Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman” heard of it
Show your support for fellow Canadian Bryan Adams and grab your tickets!
Rush is easily one of the best bands ever. Led by Jewish dynamo Geddy Lee, Rush was a vital force in the music business with an ever evolving sound that spanned Progressive Rock to Synthesizer laden pop (Tom Sawyer anyone). I love Rush and I hope you feel the same! Limelight baby!
Wilco are musician’s musicians. This is a band that has paid their dues, battled with their label, and still managed to build a career in the process. Like a lot of folks, I was first introduced to Wilco through their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Little did I know they would outdo themselves with the under appreciated A Ghost is Born.
They are back out on tour my little droogies, I recommend that you see them live and purchase their self titled Wilco album slated for release in June 2009. Without further delay I want to discuss the shows that I believe will matter most.
Wilco at Abraham Chavez Theatre Tickets – This show will be in my hometown of El Paso, Texas a lawless city on the border of Old Mexico and West Texas. Nostalgia…kicking…in….
Monday June 22
Wilco at The Wiltern Tickets – The first of three shows in the City of Angels otherwise known as Los Angeles, California. Be there or be square.
Wednesday July 8
Wilco at Wolf Trap Tickets – This funky little show in Vienna, Virginia is going to be special. Don’t ask me how I know just be there if you are in the area.
Monday July 13
Wilco at Keyspan Park Tickets – Wilco heads to Brooklyn, New York to play the open fields. Get toasted and cozy up to someone special and enjoy this outdoor event.
Bruce Springsteen, aka The Boss, America’s Poet, King of Jersey is coming to a city near you! Don’t miss his final concert tour.

Eight shows in five cities (Los Angeles, California, Boston, Massachusetts, New York, New York, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Canada) . Ladies and Gentleman Bruce Springsteen live from Paris, France – Born in the USA music video !
Seems like some of you were pissed with the omissions on our previous Top 10 Jewish Musicians list. Some of your gripes were legitimate – Lou Reed, Billy Joel – some of your comments were ridiculous - Matisyahu, Bette Midler. In any case, I want to address five musicians we purposely left off the list (Sorry your uncle Mo Goldstein who plays air guitar in your aunt’s basement does not count). As always, the worst is reserved for last. Without further delay, please find the 5 Worst Jewish Musicians of All Time.
Adam Levine is a hack – briefly popular in the mid 00’s, most everyone now agrees that Maroon 5 sucks. In fairness getting hot Christian Jessica Simpson to commit adultery against Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees fame is a major win for the J Team.
Before everyone starts whining that he is not Jewish lets take a step back and realize the obvious. His name is KRAVITZ…Lenny Kravitz. Anyways, I actually think he is a great musician. I am just jealous that he had bedded the likes of Adriana Lima among others. His inclusion on this list is motivated by pure jealousy.
I know people will be divided about this one, but the only contribution to music I think Madge has ever made involves that music video for “Take a Bow” where she is slithering around in lingerie exposing a huge rack. Nice. The only way Madonna avoids this list is the very real claim that she is not Jewish. After all MADONNA does scream Catholic no? Not so sure about the whole Kabbalah thing.
This actor / musician / comedian offends me on so many levels. Every time I see him I ask myself “How did this guy become famous again”. Granted his Hanukkah song is brilliant, but what else has he done besides shitty films? Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Billy Madison…should I continue?
After careful consideration, I have decided that David “Diamond Dave” Lee Roth is both the BEST and the WORST Jewish musician of all time. Listen to his lyrics with both Van Halen & as a soloist – great. Listen to his vocals – shit. Zero work ethic, all flash, womanizer – these are all characteristics which are BOTH repugnant and inspiring. DIAMOND DAVE is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
