Visit to the Rodgers center on Sept 22, 2022 6:30pm. The best show ever.
The show
The show started 6:30pm according to the ticket. But, the Weeknd appeared only after 9 o’clock. Long wait, I know. But, it was totally worth it. He sounded exactly like the recorded songs. Almost all his favorite playlisting songs were sung over 2 hours and a half. It was a large hall but the seats were all filed and sold out. I got the ticket on the day, luckily through Ticketmaster. You can access the ticket offline, loading on Wallet App, saving some battery for photos and videos.
Everybody sang long standing and it was really loud. You know, the Weeknd is a Canadian artist and he came back home and it was amazing most people knew the lyrics and all. Well, he is one of the most famous nowadays but it was just astonishing. It was almost strange that he sounded the same till the end of the show. It was magic. The show ran without huge breaks. And, you know, I tried to go home but seats were so packed I could not get though it. I had no choice but to stay at my seat and I liked it.
Isn’t that beautiful? At the entrance, they gave out the light with the band to everybody. It lights up at songs’ highlights. Blinding lights, literally, like the song. Best song ever. The show ended with that song.
Videos and Audios of the show
Here is glimpse of the show. He sounded all the same, right? Only way to experience the same is to go.
Food & Drinks
Before the show, I had some spare time so I went to Kome Yogurt. I ordered matcha (green tea) and oreo flavor. It has blocks of yogurt inside and it melts after awhile. It tastes not too sweet and basically healthy. I thought it would be great for diet and a smart dessert after food.
It is located at 10 Stephanie St., Toronto. (near osgood station)
Right around the corner of the street is the Salad King Thai Restaurant so I just walked in. I ordered shrimp tom yum soup and beef orange. I had lunch already at that point but I assumed that I will get hungry. I really liked the soup but regretted it was not chicken with orange. Beef and orange were not so good combination. Rice was way too much, you can eat for a day lol. The restaurant has clean atmosphere and plenty of menu you can choose from. Overall, great restaurant for a walk-in.
Summary
Great show and great food on Thursday. Lots of people and a little bit tiring because I went home at almost 12:00pm. It was definitely worth the price. Please go there on the day off and enjoy like me!
Thank you.
