The weather was the big show for a while. Wind, lightening and a super downpour kept everyone busy catching those tent awnings rolling over the fields. WOW! More down time for me. I rested as much as I could.<\/p>\n<p>The organzers did an amazing event. As I have said with all events, Not everyone has the same experience, good or bad. I think overall they did an amzing job. Saturday was the BIG Night. Sunday most people left. There were the last ones left, locals, us, and the night&#8217;s entertainment. Lee Rocker ( The Stray Cats )\u00a0headlined with The Stampeders. Jasmine Cain again, Snake Oil Sinners and the best AC\/DC Tribute band In The West, BC\/DC from Nelson, B.C. Now how can anyone have a bad time with AC\/DC and Lee Rocker tunes happening! Jasmine Cain From Sturgis U.S.A. and\u00a0The \u00a0Snake Oil Sinners Rocked the house! The entertainment was fantastic and again thank-you to all the organizers for the entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>I will get back with more thank-you&#8217;s and more photos of the last day, Cabbage Patch Wrestling too. Checkout is at 11am. Got to go. My ride\u00a0 won&#8217;t wait for me.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers everyone! Rock and Roll baby!<\/p>\n<p>THIS IS THE DAY 2 ENTRY OF STURGIS NORTH CANADA.

Great Hits from an amazing long and famous catalogue. Of course there was Harvest Moon, Don&#8217;t Fear The Reaper that was tributed to the recent passing of Jon Lord from Deep Purple. Again Heaven Has a Hell Of a Band! Another famous song, Godzilla, always gets people smiling and having a good time. Look Out Tokyo! Hit after hit, great instrumentals from all members. Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma are again Rock Veteran performers that I can&#8217;t stop praising! What a night. If this is only Thursday, What&#8217;s the next three days going to be? Kim Mitchell, Brian Howe from Bad Company, Jasmine Cain, Nick Gilder, The Guess Who,\u00a0 The Stampeders and the last performer Sunday is Lee Rocker from The stray Cats. Holy Crap!

WOW. Great show!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Blue Oyster Cult has a great line-up of artists with original members Eric and Buck. Jules on drums of course, Richie Castellano helping Eric on The Keyboards, plays Guitar and vocals. I&#8217;m embarassed, I missed the new Bass player&#8217;s name. He played with Joan Jett and Meatloaf as well as some other amazing artists. I will get his name and update right away! Stellar performance. You have to see it LIVE Baby!<\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s Show&#8217;N Shine Winners were handed their coveted trophies. A lot of great new, vintage classic and customized bikes were on display. Well Done to all the winners and everyone who participated. Too Hard to choose. Too many great Rides! Friday, day 3 of Sturgis North 2012 is going to be even better. Jasmine Cain and Snake Oil Sinners play multiple days too. Show&#8217;N Shines, Bike Rodeos every day!
