I found a bunch of photos online in 2019 when posting this. It’s pretty incredible when you stumble upon stuff like this!

Memories written in 2019
I have so many memories from this trip even 18 years later. Shawn had gotten me into U2 so when we heard they were coming to town we decided to head down to Montreal to see them.
My 1986 Calais broke down in the middle of downtown Montreal in the middle of rush hour. There was steam coming from the engine. Shawn and I had no idea what was going on. We called Lynn and he eventually told us to get a tow truck. I left Shawn downtown and I headed to the garage to drop the car off and the tow truck driver was nice enough to drop me off back at the Molson Centre in another bout of traffic since the show was happening.
Shawn and I missed the opener (Garbage) but we showed up just in time to get a sweet spot on the floor at the apex of the heart stage. It was (and still is) one of the top concerts I have ever witnessed. This is the concert that made me a U2 fan and I have been seeing them every chance I can get since then.
After the show we managed to find a hotel room for the night. I still remember Shawn wearing his Senators jersey and someone badmouthing the Sens and I thought “Are we going to get beat up here?!”

Eric and I went to see Lifehouse and MB20. Lifehouse was excellent!
Memories written in 2019
I still remember going to supper beforehand and it was taking so long that we figured we would miss Lifehouse. We convinced Matt to drive us ahead of time. I don’t regret that move because we showed up JUST in time.
Notes from scrapbook
Went with Eric, Mike and his friends. Unknown, and Nickelback opened. Very hot.
Notes from my memory writing this in 2019
I’m pretty sure this was the concert where Eric came all the way from Kingston and forgot his tickets in Kingston. He kept telling me this and I didn’t believe him until the next day. We ended up buying a ticket off of someone (maybe Mike’s friend?). I’m pretty sure this was the weekend we also visited Jason and Mike at their residence and wreaked havoc.

Collective Soul! Won these tix from the Bear and brought Mike along. The best part was when they played Highway To Hell! He brought a friend from Ottawa U and we all had a great time. Memory: The drunk couple in front of us! 🙂
