Talk:Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All I can say is that I went and it was freakin' crazy. I nearly died of heat stroke! 500,000 people attended and I ran into nine people I know from a town of 40,000 lol! Fr0 04:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Since this is only one of several names (and frankly, one I hadn't heard until I got here), perhaps we should put this concert under its official name.
FWIW:
- "Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto" turned up 1,610 hits;
- "Toronto Rocks" turned up 864 (but it seems to be a lacrosse team as well);
- "Rolling Stones SARS Benefit Concert" turns up 125 (most of them straight descriptions; "the Rolling Stones' SARS benefit concert in Toronto will, etc...")
- "SARSfest" turned up 98;
- "SARSstock" turned up 32 (!);
- "SARStock" turned up 8.
If no objections, I'll move the page.
- That's alright...I didn't realize it had an official name until today. I'm sure it must have been mentioned in all those newspaper articles in the past month, but I guess I missed it...sorry :) Adam Bishop 20:50, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
BTW, as far as I know, it was not the Stones' idea. It was the idea of someone in the Canadian government. dave 02:09, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- But wasn't it the Stones' idea to have a really massive concert, with a bunch of other bands? Adam Bishop 04:01, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

- Maybe, I'm not really sure. I just know the initial idea was sparked by someone in parliment or senate. dave 05:21, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Setlist
Can we create a setlist for this show, just like the Live 8 shows? --Madchester July 8, 2005 03:34 (UTC)
[edit] Water
In the article it says that there was free water distributed to the crowd, this was not the case. As far as I know, free water was available only to the people near the very front of the crowd, everyone else had to five (5) dollars a bottle. Mayhap we should change this???

Nope, when we went in the gates they had a transport full of water they were tossing out tonnes of bottled water, free. However when you got inside the event, they were selling it. I personally bought a case (split with a friend) of twenty-four for FIFTY dollars! I almost died of heat exhaustion. $25.00 wasn't much of a factor at that point. Fr0 08:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
