Any hipbasers going to be at this one?
Would've been there but it's my buddy's bachelor party. Tried convincing him we should all go but he's not a fan
I'll be there. Looking forward to it. A night with the Hip is always a good night.
If ya see me, say hi, I will be in my neon green hat and my wheat kings (la king purple) hip jersey.
Believe it or not,
i'm going to be at this one. My wife and I are touristing it up in Ottawa this weekend (it was a half, "we want to go to Canada," half "oh look the Hip are playing" thing.)
I'll be there... looking forward to it. Hitting Pub Italia beforehand for some food and brews, and then taking my Dad (65-years old) to his first Hip show.
Figured it's a good setlist, lots of their hits, so he should appreciate it.
I will be there and my wife is going too with her posse of schoolyard moms. not a fan of the layout this year vs previous (took in the Black Keys last night).
Is a Hip show ever not worthwhile?
I wil be there with my dad. this is going to be my second hip show. (first was may 15th 2009 massey hall) i'm very excited! should be a great concert! i saw gord solo and rush at bluesfest last year and really enjoyed both shows. i hope they can throw a rare song into the setlist for tonight, but if not i will still be very happy because it it the hip!
Might have the order wrong, but I think these were the songs played...

100th

Good show, got better as it went on. Found the mix a bit off early on, but got better as the night progressed.
Highlights were Gift Shop, a strong rendition I found, Fully, always a favourite, and the NOIS-Nautical-NOIS medley, which brought me back to my first Hip show in '95, which had NOIS-Nautical-ABAC-NOIS, back when Ahead By a Century's lyrics were only for CBC late night audiences...
Cheers!!!

show despite short was EPIC. Crowd was electric, the lads were on fire, energy was through the roof. Top 5 of the 16 ive seen. Gord was at the top of his game, and the sound from the band was perfect. Only complaint from where I was, the 2 new songs didnt hit crowd good.
9/10 show if not 9.5. Gold imo.

Yeah, it was good, but I agree... the new tunes didn't seem to wow anyone. Is it me, or did they sound garbled?
Good show, on time, good sound and great crowd. Highlights were fiddlers green and courage.
How come Ottawa only got 1 encore song, and Winnipeg got 3? How do they determine how many encore songs to play - by crowd energy, or venue time?
