LA’s Soapbox

In early December I discovered that Rod would be in Toronto and Montreal. I debated and decided that I would go to Montreal as I had been to see The Stones in Toronto and had been there several times over the past few years. I lived in Montreal for 17 years and I thought it would be nice to stay there for a few days versus just passing through as I do when I go to Toronto or New York City. Not to mention that the train ride is a mere 3 hours as compared to 8 or 9 hours to get to Toronto.

So I bought my concert ticket, booked my hotel (read all about that in the next post) and off I went. The concert was on Saturday, February 24th and it was totally awesome. I had been wanting to see Rod in concert for a few years now, and I tell ya, I wasn’t disappointed! I had a great seat which I had purchased online. I wish the seating charts were more detailed, but no matter my seat was perfect! 10th row up from the floor and right on the aisle. The concert was in the round and the stage had U-shaped extensions on each end and Rod and the singers and musicians used them extensively. I could have dashed down a few steps and been right at the bottom of the stage, as many fans did, but my seat was so good, with such a perfect view, that I didn’t even bother.

I swear, Rod still has it for a guy in his sixties! He sang a good selection of songs…. wanted more, but one can only fit so many songs in 2 hours. Only thing that was a tad disappointing was that he only came back for one encore despite the fact that 17,000+ fans were screeching for more. All in all it was still fantastic!
