Concert Review: Joel Plaskett at Massey ...

Concert Review: Joel Plaskett, Massey Hall, Toronto, Saturday, May 23, 2009 Massey Hall is arguably the most famous stage in Toronto. The acoustics are spectacular, and the majority of the seats have excellent site lines. Opened in 1894, and designated as a Heritage Property in 1975, Massey Hall has hosted such venerable performers and dignitaries such as King George V and his wife Queen Mary, Winston Churchill, the Dalai Lama, Luciano Pavarotti, George Gershwin, Oscar Peterson, and Bob Dylan among many, many others.

Many famous live albums have been recorded there, including Charlie Parker-Dizzy Gillespie Jazz at Massey Hall (1953), Rush’s 1976 live album All the World’s a Stage , and more recently Neil Young’s Live at Massey Hall 1971 .... 5:55 a.m. Wednesday 27th May 2009 EST
