No Cities Left is my favourite album by The Dears…might be one of my favourite albums of any band. So when I heard they were playing it in honour of its 20th Anniversary, I knew I had to make the trek to Montreal to hear it.
Bonus: they had a string section which, if it was advertised, I had forgot about. The band was super into it. No regrets seeing this show.
Other memories:
- When going into the theatre who walks out the door but Murray Lightburn looking for his mother and kids who are supposed to be there!
- Saw Lisa Leblanc and the bassist from her band walk on by to the show next door. Montreal! What a town!
- While walking around I saw a lot of men with furry hats on.
I found out these are called shtreimels which are worn by some Jewish men for religious events. I’m always learning something.
