3. – Garbage at The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts- Only Happy When It Rains – September 29, 2012
Check off one of my bucket list bands. Garbage reunited in 2012 and started touring just before Coachella 2012. I had high hopes they would be in the 2012 Coachella lineup, but alas they performed in L.A. just days before my flight down there. Strangely I ended up stumbling onto the Vancouver concert by accident. I happened to open up Facebook hours after tickets for their Vancouver date went on sale and there was a post on Garbage’s fan page. I had to scramble to buy tickets. Thankfully I ended up with great seats.
Less than a week before this concert I had seen The Shins at the Royal Theatre and finally came to the conclusion my Canon TX-1 digital camera had finally crapped out. It was no longer focussing properly and with a concert I was anticipating so much on the horizon I bought a new digital camera on impulse. I think I made a sound decision if this video of ‘Only Happy When it Rains’ is any indication. Shirley Manson at 46 still looks incredible and she had the audience in the palm of her hand. There was some stiff competition in Vancouver that night. The Vancouver Whitecaps were playing at BC Place Stadium, Madonna was at Rogers Arena, Amanda Palmer was at The Commodore, Bloc Party were at The Vogue Theatre, and Dragonette performed at Venue.
