While the party died years ago at MuchMusic's broadcast centre on the corner of Queen and John streets in Toronto, the screening of a new documentary on Friday proved nostalgia for the nation's music station is still very much alive.
Thousands of people filed into Roy Thomson Hall, only a few blocks away from Much's former headquarters, to catch the Canadian premiere of "299 Queen Street West," a feature-length look at the legacy of the TV channel.
The MuchMusic tour crosses the country with 12 stops that include Montreal , Halifax , Calgary , Vancouver and Winnipeg . "We were kids in the trunk of the car getting into the drive-in, that’s how it kind of felt," recalled former VJ Steve Anthony outside the premiere. “299 Queen Street West” makes pit stops at some of MuchMusic’s most innovative ideas, from the annual Christmas tree toss to “Combat des Clips,” the 1-900 viewer-voted music video show.
Denise Donlon, who climbed the ranks from VJ to general manager at MuchMusic, told of a memorable encounter with David Bowie at one edition of the MuchMusic Video Awards.
