Gee, JK, I guess we saw different concerts. I don't condone "acts of violence" like you implied, but I didn't see anything like you're suggesting. Maybe I've been to too many concerts and my threshold is higher... Of course, I've been to concerts where a headliner going for an encore (or not) after 50 minutes would have caused a REAL disaster. The vapid urban comment about Abbotsford you could see coming a mile away. Kinda like Vancouver types waxing on about the Port Mann bridge, even though they don't drive it and 3/4 of commuters don't go into Vancouver. Now the ucfv thing... THAT I can believe. I heard it was worse last year. By the way, I agree with the first poster. Matt Barber was by far the best of the earlier bands. Too bad he didn't get a lot of crowd response.At least the Hedley singer didn't take his clothes off like he apparently did at the PNE.

I was there and didn't think the crowd was all that bad, esp. after MG asked them to cool it. The concert ended badly, with a lot of people - including me - pissed off that the MG set was under an hour. A Bruce Springsteen concert this wasn't! Many were standing around not believing that they had waited 6 hours for this, and nobody had the guts to get up and say it was over. Sorry, I like MG, but this a bit of a disaster for him, esp. with non- die hard fans.
