Your last concert was to see who and when?

It was a nice walk from Rue St-Dennis via Square St-Louis and than via pedestrian only Rue Prince Arthur full of great restaurants, cafe and great free live music in front of them. After pleasant dinner continue going towards Rue Saint-Urbain to reach the heart of Montreal Jazz Festival where 2 theatres Jean-Duceppe and Massoneuve connect into one Place-Des-Art for dream performance of Danilo Perez, Brian Blade and John Pattitucci.

The concert was fabulous. The venue, sound, light, atmosphere, the MUSIC was magnet. Extream virtuoso performance blended onto the great sound with no mentioned earlier before decibel level issues. That sound just blended equally and proportioinally in the whole venue.
The style is unique, but yet it's a great blend of all jazz styles you can ever think of: latin, fusion, swing, space jazz -- another words it's a free jazz trio.
From what I saw with tip of my eye venue uses Meyer Sound arrays that could be passive and active which I could not ID. This theater is also known for great seat elevation and tight bond to the performers and stage. A must venue to the Montreal traveler indeed!

The problem , for me anyway, of going to Montreal is having to come back.

Schubert, Imagine I'm going to face same I don't want to face!

I saw Sarah McLachlan at The Greek Theater in LA last night. It's a fantastic outdoor venue, the weather was perfect, the band was tight as a drum, and Sarah is a charismatic performer who can sing her ass off. Unfortunately, most of the music was a snooze.

Overall, a nice night out with friends at The Greek with pleasant, tho unremarkable music.

BTW I completely agree re: the great appeal of Montreal, but if you want to feel better about leaving that town, I say visit in February.

I'd rather be in Montreal in February than in Miami in July indeed!
