dave-O Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Highlight for me this year was Divine Fits at the tiny Il Motore as an Osheaga after-party, followed by Tame Impala's set at Osheaga itself.Other memorable shows were Springsteen at Scotiabank Place, Radiohead at Bell Centre and the couple times I saw the Wooden Sky.Probably the most intense (but not necessarily great) show I experienced was the Tim Hecker and Stephen O'Malley (Sunn o)))) drone-fest at St. James United Church as part of MUTEK. http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Mutek/tim_hecker_stephen_omalley-st_james_united_church_montreal_qc_june_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I had a great year as well. Especially in terms of quality. I don't recall not enjoying any of these shows:CornmealRailroad Earth x2Devil Makes Three x2Avett Brothers x3Allman BrothersPhil Lesh & FriendsBob Weir & Bruce Hornsby feat. Branford MarsalisYonder Mountain String BandG. Love & Special SauceBig GiganticGalacticThe Wood BrothersLettuceALOThe BridgePapadosioThe4ontheFloorChris Robinson BrotherhoodCity & ColourDark Star Orchestra x2Neil YoungTrampled by Turtles x2Spirit Family ReunionI hope that this year is just as, or even more fulfilling. And the above list doesn't count all of the local music I was able to enjoy and partake in, and often those are some of my sweetest moments and fondest memories. I'm a lucky gal.
