Neil Young: With Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones touring here, a Neil Young stop is no long wishful thinking. The risk to promoters, however, is Young’s mercurial nature. If the mood strikes him it can a great hit-fest. If he instead wants to rock out, then get ready for an uncompromising two-hour set of droning guitars and distortion. AFP -

Sarah McLachlan Her records maybe slick and overproduced, but the Canadian chanteuse is bewitching on stage. Witnessing her perform a solo rendition of the hit Angel on piano is worth the ticket alone. AP -
Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, singer/bassist Geddy Lee and drummer Neil Peart. 40 years. 40 million albums. Three guys on an R40 Live, supposedly farewell, tour set only to hit 34 cities in North America this summer. One pipe dream. AFP -
Corey Hart or Glass Tiger. Just for the laughs. Come on, if any of these two were added to an 80s-themed music concert or the next edition of Mixtape Rewind (hint to promoters) it just could make you pause for thought. Courtesy Marc Lostracco
