It's really interesting to see how negative this thread seems in general.. having only witnessed one show in Canada, I have to say I'm glad we happened to be part of it there. All the people who came out that night were super into just having a great time and enjoying a group of good bands. While the music these bands represent isn't exactly something I am interested in, I have to admit it worked GREAT in a live setting and there was absolutely no deying the talent of all these musicians. Superb sound and execution. The fans in Montreal made us feel great and there was no "standing around with hands in pockets bobbing my head because I'm too cool to let go" behavior. While some US metal show's I've seen have had a decent group of people really getting into the music, the crowd in Montreal was unanimous in just basically rocking out!

I can see why euro bands like to play in Canada, I sure as hell hope to go back.
