Post Your Review

Thought I'd christen this thread. The show is less than a day away. I'll take along a pad and paper to jot down the setlist, I know thehip.com has gotten slower in posting them, and I always enjoy seeing what they played, so I'll post that as soon as I get home. Hope to see some of you there!!

Loose Moose before...this will be a helluva show....

Happy Hip at the ACC Day!

OHHHHHH BABY!

Anyone have a time our boys will be hitting the stage tonight?

Thanks

Isn't this thread supposed to be a *review* of the show???

Technically

is there some big conspiracy to keep the set list quite from everyone who didn't go so not to spoil the dvd?



I AM WAITING

Wow! What a great show! I'm kinda wiped out right now, but suffice it to say, this is gonna be a great DVD.

I was able to video tape the show as well, and I'll post some clips tomorrow.

I didn't get to meet very many Hipbaser's, but it was still a great show.

Off Stage:10:40

Gord was ranted throughout everything at the beginning of the show, but as it went on, and he got tired, he wouldn't rant or improv during solos or outros.

It was obvious that the band was trying to put on an extremely energetic show and had given a lot of thought to how to make a good DVD. There weren't that many cameras present. Two crane cameras on the stage, the standard cameras around the venue and a few camera-men carrying giant cameras, but I can't imagine they had more than 8 camera angles at any moment.

Notice that less IBE songs were played than usual (No Josephine; no You're Everywhere).

I thought it was odd that they didn;t play 50 Mission Cap, considering it was the ACC, but I'm sure they had their reasons.

Good work guys...I can leave my computer and go watch TV...I've been hitting refresh for the past 15 minutes or so figuring someone would be posting a review/setlist soon.

After 20-odd hip shows, and countless memories, I have to say that this one lands right smack dab in the middle. It wasn't amazing, it wasn't bad, it was just good. Lots of energy, no really memorable moments except when Gorn tripped and fell during Bones or Blow (can't remember). I really don't understand why they decided to include Springtime or Silver Jet in their DVD set. The place just died when those numbers came up. However, I do give props to the boys for their energy. Robbie had some kick-ass solos in their.

All in all, a decent show. A DVD show, I think not.
