Opened on Mars 1952 as the Alouette Theatre, it was briefly renamed Club Montreal before receiving its final and most recognized name. The venue hosted many concerts, including genres like rock, pop, and electronic performed by local artists like Daniel Bélanger, Richard Desjardins, Richard Séguin, Jean Leloup, Céline Dion, La La La Human Steps, Corey Hart, as well as international acts like The Police, U2, Tina Turner,Marillion, Miles Davis, Metallica, The Tragically Hip, Les Rita Mitsouko, Jean-Jacques Goldman and more. The Spectrum had a capacity of about 1200 and had a 'cabaret'-style setup with tables and table service. A unique characteristic was the wall mounted lighting which included hundreds of small lightbulbs giving a starlight effect. The last show was performed by Michel Rivard, the only performer to have played over one hundred concerts at the venue. The block on which the building stands was slated to be torn down and rebuilt as a combined shopping centre and office complex. The Spectrum had been owned by 'Equipe Spectra' which owns other venues in Montreal. Urban explorers were the very last people to set foot on the Spectrum's stage during the last night before the demolition began. They hold the very last picture ever taken on the Spectrum's stage before demolition.  Media Coverage Few sellouts darkened the doors - but a few bands almost blew the doors off Spectrum 1982-2007: Remembering 25 years of music and magic  Future Plans Big, tall building with big box stores on the first levels (there was a deal to have a Best Buy in there) and mixed usage (commercial and condos) on the upper levels. Will be part of the "Place des Festivals" major redesign of the area.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Pure luck Wed, Oct 31st, 2007 posted by tijeff 22 pictures J'ai pénétré Simone Wed, Oct 31st, 2007 posted by maZe 10 pictures Bye Spectrum!
