Armored Saint At MTelus

Our explosive evening of rock and roll at the MTelus in Montreal began with an awesome performance from Armored Saint.  They were making their second appearance in Montreal this year, having opened for Queensryche back in April.  If you'd like, feel free to head back in time and visit that performance by following the link.  They switched up their set a little bit from that show, but did once again open with their big single from 2020’s ‘Punching The Sky’, ‘End Of The Attention Span’.  The opening notes helped the crowd shake off the mid-November chills from having waited in line outside to get in.  Once grabbed, Armored Saint did not release their hold on the collective attention of the audience until their set had come to an end.  Sure, there were still some people who were watching the show, as the song points out, from behind their screens.  But, the majority of fans were living in the present.  Those who were focused on their screens probably missed singer John Bush make his way up to the second deck balcony and back to the stage through the crowd.  A well placed hand earned me a quick high-five as he rushed past.  And in that present, Armored Saint was once again giving a show stealing worthy appearance.  That really shouldn't be a surprise, they did the same thing back in April.  The band is still rocking hard and continues to put on a great show.  With but a handful of days left on the calendar, asking Armored Saint to return for a third visit is probably out of the question, but a return next year would definitely be welcomed.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using several different shutter speeds, ISO setting and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of my photographs taken of Armored Saint while they performed on the MTelus stage.
