I'm not sure if there's any way to search for this information on the site but I'm curious when was the last time the Hip played anything from their EP?

I know Highway Girl has made an appearance as recently as... 1991.

Man.. where do you get your facts? It's like, instant gratification! I'm sure there's somewhere on thehip.com that you find your info, but it just seems like anytime anyone has a question, you have an answer!

Hey cool, I witnessed the last known performance of Highway Girl.

I did not know that.

I'd love to hear them resurrect "Killing Time". By far the best song on that album.

I'd say it's tied with Last American Exit.. either one of those would be amazing to hear.

Top 5 most under-rated Hip songs! Read this:

I need your confidence
Need to know you're mine
When it gets right down
To the killing time
I know your heart is bad
But it's all I've ever had
We can live you lives
On this righteous crime.

I got kicked when I was down
And a sailor took my girl to town
Then she licked my wounds
With the sea dog's salt
I drank a half a bottle of Jack
Swore I'd never take you back
By the bottle's end
I was on that phone.

What you call compromise
I don't understand
What call compromise
I don't understand.

How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
From a woman
That gone and done you wrong?

Great lyrics. Great song.

So I thought I would be fun to put together mp3 downloads of each of the last known played songs, from the bootlegs of each show. Unfortunately it looks like Evelyn, has not been played live (or at least there is no known recording of it.)

Out of all 10 dates listed for Evelyn on thehip.com, I have recordings of about 7 of them, and in each instance, the actual song on the boot was "Everytime You Go", not "Evelyn". I've pm'd MAv about this.

So I challenge all the hipbasers to produce a live recording of Evelyn!

Here are mp3s of the rest (right-click & save as) :

I know recordings do exist, I am just not in the same city as my collection right now. I think I have this show tucked away right now...
1987-02-07 - Toronto, Ontario

Nice one Sean (and quite a memory for not having your shows in front of you....)

I'll amend the list above to include Evelyn from this show.

Cheers :thumb:

evelyn was also played at the copper penny show

I've always liked some of these songs. I wish they would play some of them again, like Last American Exit and HIghway Girl.
