If a band I love (even like a lot) announces that they are playing there, it is like winning the lottery. The seats are pretty comfortable, the view is exceptional from *any* seat in the house, and the sound is literally heavenly.\n\nBest Massey Hall Memory: running up the stairs, hand-in-hand to our (excellent view!) Lou Reed balcony seats while the opening of Sweet Jane wafted through the hall. \n\nMost Uncomfortable Massey Hall Memory: wanting Billy Corgan to stop dicking around with his self-indulgent guitar solos, and just play Thirty-Three instead, which he did not do.\n\nSecond Best Massey Hall Memory: realizing that purchasing a \"Friend's First\" membership was totally worth it, cuz we had 5th row Kids in the Hall Seats.\n\nWorst Massey Hall Memory: missing Eddie Vedder (teenage idolX1000) due to unintentionally surrendering fan club membership, rustiness in (own) scalping skills, underestimating scalpers' skills. The chants of \"Eddie! Eddie!\" from outside still torture me to this day.\n\nThis venue is my happy place (*ahem*...usually)."^^ . . .
