Corey Hart live at the Scotiabank Centre June 4th, 2019 the Never Surrender Tour.
The wonderful evening started off with Glass Tiger opening for the legendary Corey Hart. The concert took off with fans cheering loudly with the amazement that they were finally seeing Corey. By the time the 3rd song, Boy in the Box, was played you could feel the sheer excitement in the air.
The video production behind Corey Hart was absolutely awesome to watch – between the live feed and synced videos there was never a dull moment. The images played an important part in the show. During the song “Everything in my Heart” displays of fan photos received throughout the years showed us that Corey truly appreciates his fans.
Then it was time to change things up and move to the other end of the stadium. He joined the floor audience with his grand piano on a small platform. When he walked through the crowd the people were thrilled. He then told a great story of how “She got the Radio” came to be. He recreated visions of his bedroom when he was younger with a story of singing with his ruler in front of the mirror. He then played a song for his wife Julie Masse, his “Maggie”, who is one of his background singers. We could see the lighting from the stage go far out to the floor stage and gave a really cool effect. He then introduced two ladies and invited them to join him. They had requested a song via a Facebook post earlier in the day. One is bravely battling cancer and the other is her supportive friend. There was not a dry eye in the house while he sang “I am by Your Side”. While his talented band started playing “Tell Me”, he walked back to the stage shaking as many hands as possible.
At the end of the evening, the major encore came with “Sunglasses at Night” for which the audience cheered louder than they do during most concerts at the Scotiabank Centre.
Anyone that has never seen Corey Hart live should really consider consider attending his concert. He does not disappoint.
