It depends where the concert is being staged. It is customary to play the anthem of the home country first. Hence, if the concert was in New York then the American anthem would be played first. If the concert was in Toronto then the Canadian anthem would be played first. There would only be a reason to play both anthems if there was a connection between the performing group and their original destination. An example would be a concert band/choir/orchestra from Canada performing in an American venue or anthems played before an American Ice Hockey team played a Canadian Ice Hockey team.

∙ 12y agoNo it isn't. Although I'll admit you can't argue matters of taste and I'd say in terms of the tune, they're basically equivalent. In terms of the lyrics of the National Anthems, it isn't close. The American anthem spends the entire song focusing on a flag and war. Sure it may be a metaphor for the spirit of a nation triumphing over adversity etc. The fact remains, however, that there are many war references and it's a brief tale about a flag that didn't get blown up. Canadians prefer to focus on more positive things like pride and freedom. Most importantly, the Canadian anthem actually has the country's name in it.
