Hartamophone Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wow, those are some ambitious rooms. Halifax Metro Centre? Ottawa Civic Centre? I dare say there will be a lot of people at those shows dressed as seats.Either way, nice to see some thorough Canadian coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 any place is an upgrade to Arrow Hall in Mississauga but damnit, Centre in the Square? I mean I know i'm not allowed to bitch because they will be so close....but i'm tempted to go to Ottawa on my birthday instead, just because it isn't Center in the Square...

hey now Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 if they use the old school 1/2 arena non bowl at the civic centre it would be fine i think. GA will be smaller that way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 any place is an upgrade to Arrow Hall in Mississauga but damnit, Centre in the Square? I mean I know i'm not allowed to bitch because they will be so close....but i'm tempted to go to Ottawa on my birthday instead, just because it isn't Center in the Square...I love the Centre in the Square. I've seen tons of stuff there over the years from musicals, to Tori Amos, to Video Games Live. I think the sound is always great (and I've sat everywhere from the bleeders to front row). The fact that it is a 5 minute walk from my house and I get a lot of free tickets from work helps too of course. Dunno...haven't really seen any super loud/heavy stuff there before, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I made the mistake of not going to see Leonard Cohen there a few years ago. Not going to make the same mistake with the Pixies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to make the same mistake with the Pixies. Arrow Hall is the GTA's worst venue, and the surrounding area is even worse. It makes going to a show at Sound Academy pure joy by comparison. I was at that Pixies show at Arrow Hall and even they had trouble getting folks excited about the show, and they played great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
