allison💌	this was my boyfriend and i's first date	Red Hot Chili Peppers / The Strokes / Thundercat	Oct 30, 2025
allison💌	my very first concert!	Dierks Bentley / Joey + Rory	Oct 30, 2025
allison💌	we almost didn't go to this concert but it ended up being very rewarding; a venue worker named Julius gave us tickets really close to the stage! such a fun night	Styx / Foreigner / John Waite	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	In its new 3 piece iteration, @Built_2_Spill still feels familiar. Like an old flannel shirt you love. Worn to perfection, hard working & effortlessly cool, it has character. A statement of simplicity & versatility. It says “I’m here to rock & I don’t give a shit what you think”	Built To Spill / Wetface / Blood Lemon	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Alto Parks set off sparks opening for Florence. What an added treat to hear her. Unfortunately the reverberating, metallic distortion of the venue didn’t do her rich voice (nor Florence’s ) any favours	Florence + The Machine / Arlo Parks	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Pop music is by definition profane. Witnessing a performance of Florence challenges that. Through her lyrics, themes & superb set design she conveys spirituality but it’s in her energy that pop is elevated to the sacred. Indeed, on stage you are witnessing a goddess.	Florence + The Machine / Arlo Parks	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Nearly 2.5 years late, Joel Plaskett finally made it to MTL & it was worth the wait. He’s a great Canadian storyteller. Be it lyrically in his verses, anecdotally before a song or literally, sharing biographical yarns about his Zep camp cult. 2 very generous sets just flew by	Joel Plaskett	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Georges A. Gauthier @g_a_gauthier Sep 29, 2022 What better place than here to experience Allison Russell performing her magnificent 2021 love letter to MTL record Outside Child. Her trauma & victories rang out with emotional clarity	Allison Russell	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Danced to Cri at Piknic Electronik on 01 Oct. weather was perfect for dancing outside.	CRi	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	One could comment on how vapid, simplistic & vain pop is & how @number1popstar1 is exposing this through parody verging on pantomime. One could look for deeper meaning in her performance. Maybe, but it’s fun & entertaining so what else really matters?	Dehd / Number One Popstar	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	DEHD were sharp, yet playful. They sounded just as good, if not better than a studio recording. What struck me was Emily’s voice. In a live setting you can truly admire how versatile her natural instrument is & how much it adds to the band.	Dehd / Number One Popstar	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Saw Palm live. I was on the fence about them but their show knocked me right off that perch and not in a good way. It was a blurry cacophony of badly mixed bass and choppy vocals. It also made me more aware that I was attracted to their hype than their songwriting.	Palm	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	I’m not sure why I like Kurt Vile live? By the standard metrics of a rock show he’s middling. He doesn’t sound great, he barely interacts, there aren’t any great light shows or impressive sets. I guess he embodies what his music conveys. So it’s an honest show.	Kurt Vile & the Violators	Oct 30, 2025
0tterful	so uhh yall rock w ctf ⁉️	CrankThatFrank	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	There are times on Radiohead albums where the songs are so minimal that it’s hard to see why the whole band is there. At times like that, 3 guys is enough. That’s The Smile. 3 guys is enough if 2 of them are Thom & Johnny.	The Smile / Robert Stillman	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	I just can't express how much I love the RAA. When people speak of underrated bands, they are near the top of my list. As long as they keep making music and playing it, I’ll be there to see them	The Rural Alberta Advantage	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Boukman we’re not who I wanted to see tonight, it was supposed to be Beck. But I’ve seen him before and it’s not always a great experience. This, at least, was an amazing experience.	Arcade Fire / Boukman Eksperyans	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	It’s a bit uncomfortable You rationalize with the “death of the author” argument & accept that Arcade Fire, Win included (maybe even especially) put on a truly epic show. Bookending the tour that started in July @ Osheaga it was perfect. Or Almost. Yeah, just a bit uncomfortable	Arcade Fire / Boukman Eksperyans	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	One of Canada’s best bands continue to gain in popularity filling the MTelus. Though sonically solid, the banter & visual elements lack panache so they fall short of greatness	Alvvays / Disq	Oct 30, 2025
Georges A. Gauthier	Sunset Rubdown @ Casa. They played like 13 years since their last show hadn’t passed all. Krug has such amazing energy even if he’s terse. I’m so happy I saw this classic band.	Sunset Rubdown	Oct 30, 2025
