Which is your favourite of the 3 releases?
London had the best setlist so I had to go with that one, it was tough though I was at the Canada Day show and the London show. You just can't beat Lake Fever, Twist My Arm, Locked in the Trunk of a Car, 700 ft. Ceiling, Hiccups/Daredevil, Scared and Long Time Running all on the same night....spectacular!!!!!!
I voted for Toronto, but it's the only one I've purchased, so I really shouldn't be expressing an opinion.
But from the looks of the results, I should be chasing after the London show.

This is the best use of the poll function I've witnessed. Makes for an excellent resources for prospective LR buyers.

London was great, but Ottawa had a hairstandingonmyneck rendition of Grace, (come on, let's dance, it's a protest dance party!) and 100th where he bent the mike stand... (I rode the shit outta it!)
Any show with Grace is good in my books.
I chosE Ottawa, but I was there. THe show was phenomenal though, and the rendition of ABAC on it is so good it makes me want to cry. But... i don't. I swear.
My vote is for Ottawa...as a matter of fact I've felt inspired to put it on as I write this...now I haven't heard the other concerts, and I was at the Ottawa show, so it gets the emotional attachment vote.
I loved that part in 100th too, when Gord's going off on the Mic stand "he's just pissed off cuz I bent the shit out of him!!!!" "you're not gonna run away are ya Paul???.....THAT'S A MAN....you're a microphone stand....HE'S A MAN!!!!!!"
Good rendy of Makeshift as well....still LOVE that song.
Goulet!!!
I wasn't at any of these shows, and I didn't listen to any of the recordings, but my vote is for London because I once met a cute girl from there. :roll:
I was at both London and the Canada Day show. London gets my vote!!! That show rocked, FRONT and CENTRE didn't hurt either!!!!!!
Once again, Londons version of lake fever made me feel like a new Hip fan all over again, it was amazing.
Drink till you drop!
Tough! But the Ottawa gets alot of play from me! So i voted for Ottawa
Ottawa. Gord has taken in recent interviews to describing Hip fans as "Music Lovers." When the boys begin to play "Are We Family" the place erupts like it's a Top Ten hit. Music lovers indeed.
I voted for Ottawa since it sounds the best, imo.
If this were a poll of best setlist, my choice is London.
I just downloaded the Ottawa show, and am just getting through it the first time. The Grace is absolutely fantastic. Worth the download alone!
As far as London goes, it is a very high energy show, with several unbeatable tracks. The Poets, Fever, Locked, Family, Blow, and Bones are some of the best versions I have ever heard. It will be hard to beat it, except for the fact that London doesn't have a Grace.

Personally, I vote for the detroit show of 96, or the detroit show of 2004. Both kick ass.
Skippy, you ever read "cannery row"? Best book of all time.
