When I saw this one come across the wire I got that uncomfortable pit in my stomach… A band that has provided so much of the soundtrack for my life was almost snuffed out in its entirety last night in Ottawa, Canada. Having pretty much perpetually toured over the last 35 years or so… Nielsen, Zander and company have to be seriously contemplating a break after living through this… Evidently one of their equipment semi’s parked behind the stage was what stopped the canopy from coming completely down on them leaving about a 5′ gap for everyone to crawl out safely. Other than a broken femur for the driver of the semi, thankfully that was the only injury in this entire mess…
