Twenty One Pilots singer says Montreal 'one of his favourites shows' (VIDEO)

When singers call out the name of the city they’re performing in, the crowd is bound to go wild. Mention that city as one of your favourites stops of an entire tour? Well, you’d be the Twenty One Pilots last night.

Before playing their song “Trees,” the band’s lead singer, Tyler Joseph, asked the lights to be turned up before heading over to fix a bugged piano synthesizer, quipping that “this was almost a perfect show.”

“Let’s be real, my little piano synth thing is not working right now, I’m going to walk over there and test it,” Joseph told the crowd. “I want the camera to show this moment. We’re going to be very transparent. I have no clue if this is going to work right now, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Ready? If it sound comes out of here, I want you all to lose it. Ready? Here we go.”
