There are many live music venues in Toronto, past and present, where I've never seen a concert. This includes Maple Leaf Gardens, Air Canada Center/ Scotiabank Arena and SkyDome/ Rogers Center - my arena and stadium rock days were spent in Montreal.
My favorite venues, in no particular order: Danforth Music Hall, Massey Hall, Masonic Temple/ Rockpile at Yonge & Davenport, The Mod Club and The Great Hall/ Longboat Hall at Queen St West and Dovercourt. If I had to pick only one, I'd go with The Mod Club.

Believe I saw someone there when it was the Diamond. Can't remember who though. Larry's Hideaway around the corner has been gone for quite a while. Now a dog park.
I think History is Toronto‘s newest concert venue. I‘ve only been once but was really impressed with the layout and sound. Have you checked it out? Is Mod club is around?
I remember I loved seeing shows at the Opera house, We’d hit up Jillys after.
The Mod Club has closed. I also enjoyed a few shows at The Opera House. Among others, I saw G. Love and Special Sauce there twice in mid-late 90's, and The Jim Rose Circus Sideshow.
The only show that I saw at Larry's Hideaway was Billy Bragg, late 1984 or early 1985. I listened to his Brewing Up with Billy Bragg album on cassette tape a lot in mid 80's, but I didn't follow his career after that. With many artists, one album/CD is enough for when I want to listen to them.
This is the CD of his early material, (Brewing Up.. plus EPs), and a REALLY good live show from a club in Finland, a few weeks before I saw him.
There's a 'pancake' restaurant where Larry's Hideaway used to be, (South side of Carlton Street, near Jarvis). The dog park is farther east.

Come on guys.... the best ever in T.O. was the Ontario Place Forum.
Notorious for one guy showing up early and 'reserving' half an acre on the lawn by spreading 40 coats/ towels on the grass.
