Thought it may be fun to do a poll on which more popular song you would like to see permenantly taken off all future setlists. Personally I enjoy them all, but I know many of you have different opinions. Enjoy.

There should be a "None Of The Above" option if you ask me

There was one in my original post, but it seems it would only accept the first 12 choices....do you guys know if there's a limit to the number of options?

I would have voted for more than one but in the end I went with Hundredth Meridian because it just seems way too contrived now and lacks alot of what it used to. You know Gord isn't going to improvise anything in the middle anymore and you know the Ry Cooder part is going to be sung really fast. It just seems boring now. Definately not what it used to be. I would prefer it if they slowed it down like it is on the album. I think it needs to be changed up a little.

I still love hearing most of these though.

ive seen the hip 10 times
and blow at high dough 10 times

i would love to go 1 show without blow at high dough
why cant they play the dark canuck instead?

or membership

There are songs that I think get way too much play time. I've gripe on this forum about it actually. But I'd never want to put any song (okay, except maybe "Tiger...") on a DO NOT PLAY list. No way!

I write in "None of the Above".

tiger the lion is a sick song
they've played blow about 200 times for every 1 time they play tiger the lion


why even bother putting a song on a CD if you aren't gonna play it live?
if i wanted to hear greatest hits, i'd throw on the box set

Are you serious?? Tough shit if you have seen Blow 10-times in ten shows...

Want me to break down the 50+ Grateful Dead show set lists of shows I went to, and all the repeats....

This is just stupid. Like the thread suggesting the Landmark show on the 1st was somehow the worst show ever...Total crap....

Do I want to hear some of the deeper cuts...of course...but I will take what I can get, and love every fucking minute of it...Hip Live kicks ass...They could play 'Blow' ten times in a row and I will still be happy...Instead of starting a poll about this crap, why not start your "ultimate set list" thread?? I'm sure it's been done, but I would love to see some of those posts instead of this negative shit.

How bout' this...what if at EVERY show on the last tour they played 'WC' front to back, took a break, then came back for a second set??? What say you???

Me, I would have loved it!

I really wish they'd stop putting onions on burgers.

I wish they put more onion on burgers...extra pickle too. Also, if you're gonna put bacon on a burger, it better not be too crispy...blech!

Thanks Three Pistols. Good on ya!

that would be awesome
i think this is a great idea

first set = one album
2nd set = another album
encore = whatever


last time i checked, up to here had 11 songs on it
not just NOIS + blow

i'd gladly hear NOIS + blow at every show I went to....
as long as they played: I'll Believe In You, 38 Years Old, Another Midnight, When The Weight Comes Down, Opiated, She Didn't Know, Everytime You Go for every 1 time they played NOIS or Blow

When I saw the title of this thread I had this crazy fleeting thought of the band soliciting ideas for future setlists from grizzled veterans of this board.

"Here's another one for you Basers out there...it's a song about a cop, who's in love with a girl...her name...was Evelyn..."

totally agree and Billy your spot on with the bacon comment.

this poll sucks too. I hate this downtime between albums and tours, all the bonner clones come out of the woodwork.

Let me first of all say that if I offended anyone in any way I'm sorry. I am a new member here, a long time Hip fan, and love the site, just now somehow finding time to 'stay in touch' with what is going on with the band...and of course 'us'.

Our wedding song...our first dance was 'Good Life...' Yeah, the music means so much to myself and my wife as people, as a whole...In fact many, many Hip songs were played at the reception...Anyways...That brings me to the subject at hand which is what the band plays live.

I have a feeling Downie24 may have the time, money etc, to go to several shows in a row basically whenever he wants. As previously mentioned I did see the Dead many times, and traveled to many shows, and they really mixed up the shows...but fans still pissed and moaned. To me it was, and still is a crazy notion, this band you love so much is giving there all...but they didn't play 'insert what ever song you want here' on the night you were there. Good chance I saw 'Lovelight or Throwin' Stones' 20-plus times...but I did see 'Casey Jones' one time...they had not played it in almost 10-years roughly. While the Hip may not 'jam' out like the Dead, every song, every night has it's own nuance...feel...groove...it's the band, the crowd, the venue, the people you went with, the people you saw there that you knew, the nugs in your pocket, or your friends pocket...It's all different every night...every time you see the Hip, Dead, Sam Roberts, Matt G...whoever. My advice is to embrace every moment, every time you see the Hip D24...For some silly reason I thought the Dead would be on the road forever....But you know what...I have a story from every Dead show I ever went to...At the 'worst show ever (11/01/07)'?...I knew about 15 people who would be there...I ran into at least 15-20 more....

What a great night, and a great memory...shit, the band was pretty fucking good too.... :wink:

P.S.-B.Roach-Let me just say that playing an entire album front to back would be great, as I said, but let me add that I feel 'WC' is worthy of it. What an amazing record. It would be great if they maybe did that sometime, pick an album (Road Apples!), but as far as the second set and encores go...Make it up between sets...let them feel the crowd out...the venue...etc...Enough.
