Photo Journal: Pop Montreal From 0 to 6000 in 60 Minutes

The Pop Montreal free show at Place des Arts started about as dead as dead could be. Granted, it started at 5 p.m., and most people are still shuffling papers around their desks in that part of town. A few milled around as the afternoon Masala DJs did their stuff. Rain kept others at bay. Where was everyone? By 9:30, though, when A Tribe Called Red took the stage, the crowd packed the square. Michael Bakouch elbowed his way through a sea of iphones raised high. Soon he too was subsumed by the pulsating crowd and brilliant light show that accompanied them.
