Tommy Chong Reunites with The Shades

Before Cheech and Chong and before Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers, Tommy Chong played guitar in a counterculture band from Calgary called The Shades.  When they played back in the 1950s, hoodlums would come out to see their show. The police chief even wanted The Shades to leave town.

This Sunday, The Shades with MC Tommy Chong will be reuniting for a show at Ranchman's in Calgary, Canada.  It will be filmed for a documentary about The Shades and preparing for the reunion.

Tommy Chong talks about The Shades.
