Would have been a dead giveaway if they'd had their horses in there.

Fer sure. But the nice thing was, the boys knew why they were there and had asked, politely of course, to do the concert. Apparently the Mounties, just as politely, agreed.

Gone are those days. Now they'd be tasered and hauled away.

The first time I saw Levon Helm was way back when at Waterloo Lutheran Univesrity (now called Wilfred Laurier University so they can have government funding).

In those days it was Levon and the Hawks and they were on campus to play to a packed auditorium. You could taste the anticipation in the air as we waited. We were puzzled by the tall gentlemen in dark suits who were positioned at either side of the stage, but the boys put on a great concert.

As soon as the curtain came down, the men in dark suits cuffed them and led them away. They were plainclothes Horsemen (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and the boys were taken into custody for possession.

Those were kinder, gentler days, so they got to do the concert first.

on Easter Sunday evening at The Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS...Nothing like a group of rocking 60 year olds...They are still fantastic !!

Also, ordered tickets to see Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band on July 5th at The Beau...This year's All Starrs include Gary Wright, Billy Squier, Edgar Winter, Colin Hay and Hamish Stuart...Should be a great show...Oh yeah, they have Ringo also.

Saw the '05 tour and Ringo was just great !
