Just read in an interview that they are definetly playing in Victoria...
So Victoria and Barrie... seems to me they are booking tour dates that arent too typical, like 2000.

Here's the interview source:

Canada.com Wrote:Touring? That he can do. A full Canadian tour is scheduled for early 2007, which will include a stop in Victoria, Downie says.

This part caught my attention:

To prepare for the tour, the band rehearsed for a week, and played every song they've ever done. Old songs were reborn, and new ones took shape, he says.

Maybe they will be continuing with the incredible setlists that the summer shows had?

wow, there are so many possibilities that could come from that quote. Come on cordelia, or fight, or thugs, or train overnight, or the completists, or on the verge, or lets stay engaged, or............... How great would it have been to sit in on those rehersal sessions.

I guess that means they played Fiddler's Green, maybe they'll whip it out in an encore in '07... :lol:

or another midnight perhaps

Four gigs in the same venue, to many of the same fans over four nights, if there was ever a time for those "dream" set lists.... maybe this is it! Will they work in some of the lesser played but well loved tunes? Fingers are crossed.

Anything on Up To Here besides Blow, Boots or NOIS would be AMAZING!!!!! They could really rock those tunes even more these days!!!


PS: Go Eagles!!!

Already rumors of three dates in Ontario. I better start my savings now.

Hey Rory, I think it's your turn to come to Ontario for the London and Toronto shows :-)

I just might venture out east again if there are 2 or more shows.

Can't wait until Monday for the great news!

I can picture Gord with a stack of Lyrics for the rehersals so he could remember them all.

I hope not, we'll never get rid of the REM comparisons...

I don't know how valid this rumour is but my sister went to pick up her Phoenix tickets today at Sunrise Records in the Oshawa Centre, and the guy working there told her that he has heard that the hip are supposed to play in the new arena being built for the Oshawa Generals.

The arena opens on Nov. 3rd with Tom Jones and INXS playing there soon after :roll: ...so I guess it's possible but I find it hard to believe.

Well, so far we have:
1-25-7 - Barrie, On
2-5-7 - London, On
2-8-7 - Toronto, On

Sudbury - January 31

Winnipeg's Power 97 has a Major Concert Announcement tomorrow at 8:45 A.M. CST. I have a feeling that it will be the Hip coming back to the 'peg! I'll keep you posted to the announcement and date to be played.
