Where is a Total concert List of every show the hip have ever done on one-page online ?
Still looking for my list, word.doc buried on a hard drive here somewhere -
OK I found it, been lazy - last Update was Dec 13, 2006 - Phoenix and that was Show 56 - so I need to sift thru 5-6 years of shows - I guess 3-4 Tours or so
I am somewhere between 85-100 - I have a list I need to update , worked at over 10 as roadie or swag table, backstagers over 10 - 1st show was Hip opening for Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens in '91

That is totally amazing! You must have some great stories.
Let us know if you get a chance to update your list. Hitting triple digit Hip shows puts you in a very privileged and elite group. Nicely done.
This going over the shows is tougher than I thought and many considerations, hmmm if they were in a 3 hour radius I likely was there, but I still need to look at setlists, Reviews and my ticket stubs to confirm, some are obvious.... it's a trip down memory lane, Key To Bala... remember getting in early afternoon after a round of Golf and entering inside to see the Soundcheck, tons of kids running around and a few wives...after a song or 2, everyone seemed to sit down on the ledge near the dance floor and the band pumped out "The Kids Don't Get It"... while I watched from the T-Shirt Sales Area.
Sidenotes: There was a Espresso Machine just behind the stage (bobby's ?) and there was a dead Raccoon in the small area where the swag was to be sold out of that we brought to the attention of the staff and they removed him.
