Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

All I can say is that I went and it was freakin' crazy. I nearly died of heat stroke! 500,000 people attended and I ran into nine people I know from a town of 40,000 lol! Fr0 04:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Since this is only one of several names (and frankly, one I hadn't heard until I got here), perhaps we should put this concert under its official name.

FWIW:

"Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto" turned up 1,610 hits;
"Toronto Rocks" turned up 864 (but it seems to be a lacrosse team as well);
"Rolling Stones SARS Benefit Concert" turns up 125 (most of them straight descriptions; "the Rolling Stones' SARS benefit concert in Toronto will, etc...")
"SARSfest" turned up 98;
"SARSstock" turned up 32 (!);
"SARStock" turned up 8.

If no objections, I'll move the page.

That's alright...I didn't realize it had an official name until today. I'm sure it must have been mentioned in all those newspaper articles in the past month, but I guess I missed it...sorry :) Adam Bishop 20:50, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)

BTW, as far as I know, it was not the Stones' idea. It was the idea of someone in the Canadian government. dave 02:09, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

But wasn't it the Stones' idea to have a really massive concert, with a bunch of other bands? Adam Bishop 04:01, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Maybe, I'm not really sure. I just know the initial idea was sparked by someone in parliment or senate. dave 05:21, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I understand that it was the stones idea to call a lot of the other bands. Timberlake, though, was already in Toronto for some concerts of his own. Soch 06:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Setlist

Can we create a setlist for this show, just like the Live 8 shows? --Madchester July 8, 2005 03:34 (UTC)

[edit] Water

In the article it says that there was free water distributed to the crowd, this was not the case. As far as I know, free water was available only to the people near the very front of the crowd, everyone else had to five (5) dollars a bottle. Mayhap we should change this???

Nope, when we went in the gates they had a transport full of water they were tossing out tonnes of bottled water, free. However when you got inside the event, they were selling it. I personally bought a case (split with a friend) of twenty-four for FIFTY dollars! I almost died of heat exhaustion. $25.00 wasn't much of a factor at that point. Fr0 08:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope they threw it out everywere, infact My friends helped hand it out.

I was selling the water inside for 5 bucks a bottle (500mL). I made a killing that day. Thanks suckers! I hope Toronto gets anoter SARS atack so I can make more easy cash. SC.

Never got any free water where I was... Trust ^{(T) @ (C)}
