    Blue rodeo, Streetheart, Sven Gali, The Watchmen, Bourbon taberbacle choir, Randy Bachman, Skingerbreadman, Wild T & the Spirit, Thomas Trio & The Red Albino and Sass Jordan are a few, I kept a few news paper clippings but do not have the full line up on any of them. It was a greatnight !!


    Yea you are dead on....
    54-40 WAS just before Pearl Jam... I pushed my way up in a big mess of mud and waited for 2 hours till PJ came on.....


    The rumor was they signed the contract before the "big tour" then the album went crazy.
    Sunfest was never the same after becuase in the past it was a small local festival..then PJ came and people expected the world ....Because PJ was just getting big at that time, they actually killed the event for future years.

    I have the DVD if anyone wants a copy...It was pro shot but I one song is missing...

    hope this helps

    Brilliant, you all are brilliant. :D

    Thank you so much for the help...the info you've given helps a lot and fills in the blanks. I'm enjoying the memories you have too.

    yeah, PJ was the only non-Canadian band to ever play it. It couldn't survive after they graced it with their presence. ;)

    I sure hope there is something about this in the reissues!! My first PJ show!!!

    that's not the poster for that year, unfortunately.

    I'm going to the Winnipeg library tomorrow on my lunch. I'll check through the Winnipeg Free Press and Winnipeg Sun archives and see what I can come up with. Even if it's too late for 10C to use anything, I'd like it for myself anyway.

    I finally found the poster with all the bands listed. I have it on my home pc. obviously, a little too late for the PJ20 book, if that was what this question was for.
