9th October 2006 - The Metropolis, Montreal, Canada
Caught the Massive Attack show last night at Metropolis (which was originally scheduled for September 11 but rumour has it they couldn’t get visas to cross the border on that day with that name at that venue). Wow! Great show but there were clearly three exceptional songs: Angel, which is perhaps the all-out sexiest build-up and release in music, Safe from Harm, an unending groove oddly complemented by dismal Iraq War statistics on the LED screens, and Teardrop, sung by the heavenly voice of Elizabeth Fraser. Those three tunes alone hypnotized the room.

This was the last show of the entire 2006 tour. This show along with the other Canadian dates were originally meant to be played in September but were postponed due to visa problems Massive Attack had at the time. There was actually only one Montreal date originally scheduled before the postponment. Obviously, Massive Attack decided to make it up to their disappointed Canadian fans by putting on a extra date in Montreal for the re-scheduled shows in October.
The next Massive Attack live performance would not be until the following year at the Birmingham Academy, Birmingham, UK on the 6th February 2007.
