Rebel (Blue Rodeo) by Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy (Live in Toronto)

Live at The Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto ON
June 23, 2024
On Sunday evening I attended The Night of a Thousand Balloons....a tribute concert celebrating the Life of Michael 'X-Ray' Macrae, former co-owner and booker of the legendary Horseshoe Tavern. X-Ray was a local music fan, promoter and talent buyer from the 80's and 90's who helped develop come.of Canada's biggest artists, such as Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip, The Watchman, Amanda Marshall, and many others.
All proceeds of this event went towards 'SHINE' an annual financial award intended to support young musicians for whom financial barriers are making it difficult for them to pursue their study or practice of music.
Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor are two members of Blue Rodeo, one of Canada's most beloved bands ever. Seeing them perform classics such as this one in such an intimate venue is something that doesn't happen often. I couldn't pass up on this opportunity.
FYI, these vids are strictly for the purpose of preserving a few memories for myself and they are (obviously) not professionally done. If any artist would prefer me to take a video down, let me know (leave a comment or you can dm me on Instagram: @thevinylvagabond) and I will do so immediately.
I do not, and will NEVER monetize this channel. Support the artists.
