Place Des Arts, like Radio City, is more of a sitting down kinda venue- in Montreal, everyone was seated until "Heart" which really got most of the crowd going until the intermission. Things really turned around in the 2nd act when everyone stood up and danced for the rest of the show (except for Numb and Home and Dry, naturally).
Also- at most pop shows, the first song gets everyone going and everyone is on their feet from the minute the singers step on stage (if not before). Psychological doesn't get people on their feet, and its hard to get people to stand after the first song.

Very good points, Erik the Lad!

Yes, that was me with you guys in Montreal. I was there was a guy, yes, but he was never my boyfriend. (though he wanted everyone to think that but don't get me started on this story..)

That night was definitely awesome! These are the two pics I have from that night:

Neil and I:

Eh... was Neil drunk there ? Thanks for the pic.

i second that - i think it was more the venue. when Performance was at Radio City way back when the ushers tried to make people remain seated. the sitting and standing reminded me of catholic mass

my only dissapointment was the lack of bass, but i found the sound better overall than my memories of Performance when i was seated under the balcony.

the signing was very well run if you had and armband. i got Cataogue, Fundamental and Numb signed. My BF got a 2 disc PopArt and my 3 disc PopArt signed.

i may have posted this already, but i was excited when Neil and Chris both said ICHH will be released on DVD. Hopefully with a ton of extras. i wish i had asked about the first tour.

im very sorry i missed out on the Exclusive cd. im hoping i can get one on a return trip to Virgin.

Hey did anyone record the show?

My partner and I drove up from D.C. for this show, and had an ABSOLUTELY BLAST!!

They looked and sounded incredible.

My favorite was Dreaming of the Queen - - amazingly powerful. I loved the set list, and the stage set.

Tremendous night!

I think that my favorite was It's a sin - usually it's Always on my mind. I did love Dreaming of the queen, too, and also thought that Numb was very powerful, with the video in the background. I was REALLY missing Being Boring, though.....

Numb was great. I LOVED Dreaming of the Queen, great video projection for that song.
