2011-10-06 - Massey Hall - Toronto, ON

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, not trying to scare anyone... just don't go looking for $10 parking out of the way in down some side street.  There's lots of good indoor and outdoor spots around Massey Hall.

[SeventhSon]

I live outside of Toronto and I'm heading to the show. My advice is, if you're coming off the 401, to park at either Yorkdale Mall (if you're coming from the west) or Finch station (if you're coming from the east) and taking the subway to Dundas or Queen station, both of which are close to Massey Hall. It's free to park at the subway stations and it'll cost you $3 each way. It takes a little bit longer but it saves the hassle of driving in the city.

[jingle.boy]

Good advice.

[Tumdace]

I lived in Toronto for 4 months and hated it.

I would rather pay 30 or 40 bucks to park in a safe place.

[Banny]

Just went on the Massey hall site and managed to score a seat on the floor. Row C, left centre. There was one more seat available then right next to mine. Though I'd put it out there if anyone is interested in 3rd row seating.



Also, because of this, I have a seat in row G centre section up for sale as well if the gold of row C had disappeared!
Send me a PM if you're interested.

Anyone hear anything about an hmv or steve's music signing October 5 or during the day October 6? I know for Chaos in Motion they did a signing at HMV before the show. Anyone know anything?

Man you made my heart skip a beat for a moment. I thought you had news.
I'd say if there is anything like this, it'll get announced in the the new 24 hours if at all. I wouldn't have high hopes at this point though. That said, they've done signings in Toronto the last 2/3 times I believe, so I suppose it's still possible. They announced a similar thing in Montréal on PN09 the day before.

That's where we first met! I got my Petrucci guitar case signed by the band.

Hahah! Holy shit it is! I completely forgot about that!

[N4Player]

I wish they would have an in-store @ HMV. Coming out of my skin with excitement right now. Going to be the best concert I have ever seen.

Man toking with a cool hat to that.
I'm counting on this being a favorite DT show. Unlike some who are uneasy, I'm nothing but excited to see Mangini play the old tunes.

ONE MORE DAY!!!!



6PM meetup at 3 Brewers Micro Brewery.  Scard, Banny and I are there.  Anyone else?  Whoever get's there first, just leave "DTF Table" with the hostess.

In Ottawa on a stop over now. Almost to Toronto. 
Can't wait to hang in the city and hear some amazing music.


PS, I've been to Toronto plenty of times before, but does anyone have some suggestions of things to do / check out? Tomorrow night seems like 3 weeks away. 

[jingle.boy]

Depends if you want to spend coin or not.  CN Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame.  If you've got a car, you could head down to the Falls (only about a 90 minute drive).  Just be aware of rush hour.  Not sure if there's anything happening at the Metro Convention Centre of any interest.  Eaton Centre will kill some time.  Lots of good eats all over downtown.

[Scard]

The Royal Ontario Museum is really cool if you're into it. Could spend an entire day in their, really. Art Gallery of Ontario if you're into that.

[erniesballs]

Who's excited for today?

I'm going to stretch out my  for when I see JP, don't want to pull a muscle 

[erniesballs]

Their set lists seem to have a pretty distinct pattern to them in terms of their encore song. They have been alternating, "Pull me Under" and "Under a glass Moon". Looks like we are getting Under a Glass Moon tonight in Toronto.

Based on their current cycle, this is what we should expect:

1. Bridges in the Sky
2. These Walls
3. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
4. Endless Sacrifice
Drum Solo
5. Ytse Jam
6. The Silent Man
7. Beneath the Surface
8. The Great Debate
9. On the Backs of Angels
10. Forsaken
11. Through My Words
12. Fatal Tragedy
13. Outcry
------------------------------
14. Under a Glass Moon

I would also expect to see a Rush song in there somewhere since they have done that the last couple times they played in T-O.

I'll try my best to meet there. I'm leaving at 4PM from Waterloo and have to go pick up my brother-in-law in high park first.

Im looking at the Eaton Centre parking entrance here:

https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=178+Victoria+Street,+Toronto,+ON,+Canada&sll=43.644088,-79.388323&sspn=0.017267,0.038581&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=178+Victoria+St,+Toronto,+Toronto+Division,+Ontario,+Canada&ll=43.653731,-79.37854&spn=0.017264,0.038581&z=15

And Im confused how to get in there. You cant turn left going the one way, and it says u cant turn right going the other way, the only way is straight into it?

This is why I hate Toronto...

Thats probably where I will park, I just need to know how to actually get in there.

Looks like you can go down Dundas to Victoria, turn right, then turn right at Shuter and go straight into the parking garage.
I don't drive in Toronto, but it seems right.

I think you're correct.... you go straight through Yonge into the garage from Shuter St.  I've never parked there, and it's been a while since I've been downtown.

Looks like you can go down Dundas to Victoria, turn right SOUTH, then turn right at Shuter and go straight into the parking garage.
I don't drive in Toronto, but it seems right.

Depending on which way you're coming along Dundas, you might be turning left!

Even when I went in thinking I knew the setlist. They still managed to change it, and I still managed to see Breaking All Illusions! Unbelievable show.

Nice meeting you, jingle.boy. Thanks for everything!
