So what are the BEST seats you've ever had for a hip concert? Lets talk actual seats, not floors...but if you got a cool Floors story lets hear it :lol:
I had Row 4 with at the Hummingbird Centre a few years back. They were touring with Sam Roberts.
Actually, I met Sam after the show, and he gave me one of the Hip Setlists too! Gave it to my g/f tho, she's a way bigger fan.
So, whats yer best seats? What venue/city?
The Pit in Syracuse.
Great crowd that year.
Front row.
Center seats.
Yes there were seats.
Great seats - great time.
Third row in London, Nov-27-05, my hometown gig, it was pretty special. I was about 9 rows back at the Hummingbird show in 2002 that was a cool experience to see them in such a small place. And the Y2K New Years show in Toronto at the ACC I was 10 rows back, all these VIP's and music exec's (I assume) were in my row and I got to meet Hayden when he came down to talk to them after his set, I offered him a toke and he puffed it, it was cool, nice guy he is. Another funny thing about that night (sorry to go off topic) we were drinking and smoking weed in the Hotel all day (Westin Harbour Castle) and I went to get on the elevator and it opened up and then Toronto mayor Mel Lastman was in the elevator with his big-shot buddies, and I reeked of pot and I had 2 cans of beer in my pockets, I stood there frozen and he was like "hey arent you coming"? So I got in and scrunched up in the corner, he was a nice guy, I think they knew but they didnt care.

If you count standing area at Bayfest I was right next to the gate in the centre of the stage both years. It would be the best view of the band possible, but there was the deifnite drawback of sixty thousand people trying to ass rape me from behind.
Front Row Center Halifax 2000
I had first row for Brandon last year which was cancelled. Other than that I had 4th row for the Winnipeg 2004 show and 4th row for the second Concert Hall show in Winnipeg for IVL.
High Sierra Festival, Novato, California '98- front row centre.
Somerville Theatre, Boston '02- front row centre with my elbows resting on the stage. (I have some great photos from this show!)
Big Easy, Spokane, WA '04- front row centre.
Sorry for the floor story- at the Orbit Room this year in Grand Rapids. As we got there about 15 minutes early, we approach a line that seems way too short. As the doors open, I realize there is no one stopping me from going to the stage. Front row, right in front of Paul. It was the best night of my life, I wish I could relive that moment.
OK, no actual "seats", but best position was summer of 1998 at Mulcahy's in Wantagh, NY, on the floor and so close to the stage... just awesome.
in wasaga beach this summer me and my buddy got right to the front in was a wicked concert with random crowd surfing (even during ABAC) the setlist was incredible with we'll go too!! and i was 3 rows from the stage with my girlfriend in london which was pretty awesome as well
had front row edmonton 2002 & 3rd row edmonton 2004
