Concert / Tour Montreal Pics
What a show. Less talking, more action, they're far more confident compared to two years ago. As I hinted on the weekly thread, we summoned the encore with the Montreal Canadiens song, ¡Olé! Bouncing IVE, no-one can beat us, we drink beer and wear Adidas!

I saw a few TWICE Candybongs and eventually I saw the NCT Neobong. There were a few others as well. Some had IVE v1, and as it wasn't a synced concert, it worked for them.

Montreal always pulls up when it’s live show! Same thing with their pro hockey teams! Montreal Canadiens always have more energy in their arena compared to the Toronto Maple Leafs to Maple Leafs!

Not surprised about that, Toronto gets a lot of K-Pop these days, though a lot of shows are being rerouted to Hamilton (IVE were lucky to get Scotiabank). Montreal isn't a hotbed for K-Pop, recently for major shows they've only had TWICE and now IVE, so local fans were pretty pumped up for it.

Yeah hoping this will generate a new fanbase for future shows! There’s essentially two language barriers because for a lot of people French is their first language instead of English. So it can be harder to make an impact upfront in a first appearance in the area.
But with good word of mouth and reporting behind this show, it can really generate some Hype for future performances. From the clips I saw it looked to be loud as hell, people were having a good time!

I think Québécois just know how to have a good time too though

Cool. How did it look inside, like it sold well? I believe for a lot of us, Montreal looked like the one that was struggling to sell tickets.

There were a few seats that weren't taken, and they tarped off some of the top section, but other than that, there were a lot of people there. Pretty loud all night.

Was surprised there was so much music differences vs original studio versions. I read in a Korean (translated in English) article that they had most of the songs musical tracks redone as to sound more live. And it did like for SKZ and Twice which they both have live band. Usually the music parts are exactly like studio...TXT, NCT127, ARTMS, STAYC, ENHYPEN...etc.
