For my money, there's no better summertime Toronto concert venue than the Amp by Ontario Place. Or as Neil Young calls it, the Freshwater Stage. And when I buy a ticket to see a show at the Amp, I like to buy a lawn ticket to take it all in under the stars.
Speaking of Stars, they opened last night's show, followed by Broken Social Scene and Metric. I understand Metric put this tour together, so of course they were going to headline, but my personal preference probably would have been flip it and have Metric open for Broken Social Scene and to close the night with Stars. Go figure.
I met a bunch of fine people before the concert at Trillium Park where we consumed fresh Great Lakes Beer. My favourite Metric moment happened during BSS's set when Emily Haines came out to sing Anthems for a Seventeen Year‐Old Girl.
