Patrick Watson Webcast from Montreal

Sunday night, Patrick Watson took to the stage at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and played a free outdoor show for over 100,000 people.  It was a crystal-clear night and Sympatico/MSN captured all the magic, effects and special guests for everyone to enjoy.

The footage they’ve posted is pretty spectacular, but from what we hear it just doesn’t do the size and scope of the show justice.

You can watch the performance song-by-song, here.  Check out our favourite highlights, including:

• Opener Fireweed (with fire flickering off the façade of surrounding buildings, and people rustling sheets of metal high above the crowds)
• Beijing (featuring Jace Lasek from The Besnard Lakes on a bike 3 stories up!)
• Where The Wild Things Are (with a special guest flown in from India to do screen hand-puppetry)
• and Machinery of the Heavens (featuring strings, horns, balloons and the oldest “king of the drums” in Montreal Guy Nadon).
