Moist At Théâtre Beanfield

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  The weather outside was frightful, but the music was so delightful.  There was nowhere else we’d rather go, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.  Montreal had just been blanketed with about 20 centimeters of snow, but this wasn’t going to stop the faithful.  Someone in the Moist camp obviously has a sense of humour as “Let It Snow” was played over the house PA just before the band hit the stage.  My funny bone was indeed tickled, I chuckled.  For the last few years now, the Théâtre Beanfield has been home to my final concert of the year.  The trend continued once more in 2025.  It housed a sold-out show by Moist, who were making their first appearance in the city since 2019.  Moist, and singer David Usher, have a huge following in the city.  Their fans turned out en masse despite the snow storm that was raging outside.  After “Let It Snow” came to an end, Moist hit the stage and immediately got the crowd roaring with “Ophelia”.  Another big hit from the Creature album followed as the band played “Tangerine” before DavidUsher thanked the crowd for coming out in such miserable weather.  I’m pretty sure it would have taken much more snow than what we got to have kept these diehards at home.  You could close your eyes and be immediately transported back to 1996.  The night of great hits continued with “Silver” as the band was really beginning to roll.  A couple of David Usher solo songs were throw in to the mix before Moist melted almost brought the walls down with the triple threat of “Push”, “Breathe” and “Ressurection”.  The band returned for an encore which included the very apropos “St. Lawrence River”, though we didn’t need to wait for morning to come for winter to arrive.  It was already here.  With the concert now over, we finally said goodnight and headed back out in to the storm.  Holding the memories of Moist tight, so our trip back home would be warm.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Moist as they performed on the Théâtre Beanfield stage.

Kandle At Théâtre Beanfield

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  It may be near the end of January, but we're still playing catch up.  The good news, we've reached what was my final concert of 2025.  It was a cold, snowy night, but inside the Théâtre Beanfield, an evening of music and memories waited to comfort our chilly bones.  As the patrons were shrugging off their jackets and kicking the snow from their feet, they were met with the warmth of our opening act.  Kandle hit the stage with a smile that radiated the warmth of a hundred suns.  Long a Montreal favourite, Kandle opened her set with “Know My Name”, which gave the crowd a much needed jumpstart.  She later shared a story about finding out that her guitarist, and partner, Jeff Mitchell knew how to play the saxophone.  They had already been together for six years when he suddenly broke it out one time at Christmas and began to play. “Heart In Your Head” had some nice punch to it and she brought her set to an end with “Turn On”.  It was a very impressive performance that the crowd loved.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Kandle as she performed on the Théâtre Beanfield stage.
