Bumping this. Went to the Montreal show last night. It was amazing. It was a packed crowd though not a sell out.
Eluveitie apparently had to cancel the Canadian dates.
Gwynbleidd ended up opening as a last minute replacement. Were pretty good. Out of Brooklyn, NY. Played 30 minutes.
Tyr only got 30 minutes as well which meant only 3 songs. They needed at least another 15
Turisas was fucking bad ass. Played an hour. The crowd was going nuts during Rasputin.
We ended up leaving after about an hour of Ensiferum. Their audio mix sucked and you couldn't hear any vocals (and I was behind the sound board). The sound for the rest of the bands was awesome though. I did notice a different guy doing Ensiferum's so it was probably the club's guy doing the other 3.
Oddly enough the best part of the night didn't even have to do with the music. We were up top for this show because I didn't want to be in the pit. At a table nearby us was a group of like 7-9 people. One of the girls had to be coked out of her mind. In the middle of Eluveitie's set she fell on her ass. She spilled like 6 beers on her table and would throw the cup every time she did it. Would stand on the table and almost fall during Turisas & Ensiferum. The rest of her friends were pretty normal aside for having a few beers in them. How they could stand having beer spilled on them all night I'll never know. We noticed she was pretty out of her mind before the show had even started and were saying we couldn't wait till she fell. It was so awesome to see it happen just 15 minutes into the show and I caught the entire sequence of events as she was right in front of me at that time. We were kind of waiting for her to fall into the sound pit in front of her while standing on the tables but one of her friends kept steadying her when she started swaying later. Oh young stupid coked out kids.
