First, I have never witnessed a lineup so long to get in to Metropolis; it went all the way to de Maisonneuve Boulevard! Crazy!
Once inside, we saw the place was packed. We were able to get close enough to the stage, nonetheless.
I'd rather not say much about the opening act. Good sax player, and sounded good when he joined The Smile, but his music was not my cup of tea.
The Smile was great! It was amazing to see Them and Johnny is a small venue. It was fun to see them all play different instruments. They're a well-oiled machine, man! It all flowed seamlessly.
The sound was really good, as was the light show.
I think my favourite parts of the show was when they played unreleased material. If those songs are any indication, the next album will be stellar! I kinda wish they saved that stuff for Radiohead.
The only thing I did not enjoy, and it has nothing to do with the band, is this new idea of not having a physical copy of the ticket. At least give me the option of printing one at home.
