=============================================================================

NOTES:

The Guns N' Roses/Metallica/Faith No More tour which ran into disaster
in Montreal has been officially cancelled here in Vancouver.  But,
surprisingly the Seattle show is only postponed (announced Wed 12 Aug).

Also on the cancelled side is the Bryan Adams free concert in Stanley
Park.  If the crowd restriction of 42 000 is not lifted, then the show
is not going to happen.  Thoughts of it moving outside were tossed out
because the show is for the city of Vancouver.  The final decision will
be determined by mid next week.

(FYI the first performance of the tour begins tonight (Friday 14 Aug) in 
St Johns, Newfoundland.  The Arc Angels will not be performing.  There is
also going to be local acts performing as a part of the bill.)

Rumour of a Bruce Springsteen appearance on 15 Oct is still a rumour.
Add a new rumour for U2 (stadium tour) on 03 Nov.

New concerts announced this week:

Haunted Garage 22 Aug
The Bel-Vistas / The Ragged Rich 24 Aug
*Art Bergmann 28-29 Aug
Faster Pussycat / My Sister's Machine (moved) 02 Sep
Spin Doctors / The Wallflowers 02 Sep
Sophie B. Hawkins 20 Sep
*Blue Rodeo 02 Oct

plus I will add for interest:
  Nirvana 23 Aug (Seattle, WA)
  Bumbershoot 04-07 Sep (Seattle, WA)

Dropping out of the charts this past week:

Deee-Lite             Infinity Within
Elvis Presley         The Complete 50's Masters
2 Unlimited           Get Ready
Kriss Kross           Totally Krossed Out
Jesus and Mary Chain  Honey's Dead
Domingo, Carreras, Caballe   Barcelona Games

Until next week
