BEST NIGHT: (where I had the most fun, no matter if one of the above points wasn’t met or wasn’t well rated, and it is true that it usually depends of the crowd, but sometimes even if the place is not packed and the crowd is good, it can’t be rated like a best night as the success of a night also depends on the number of people in the place) 1- Parking, Montreal 2- This Is London, Toronto 3- Vision, Chicago 4- Helsinki, Ottawa 5- Cielo, New York
