Re: 05/27/09: Vic Theatre: Chicago, IL - HIPLVR - 05-28-2009

Thanks...maybe I'm missing something - but what are "the hits"?
12 "hits" in this show with other songs classified in another grouping.
Not a huge deal - just curious.

If I had to guess what he was talking about I would pick these from the first chicago show.
Not 12 by my count
And I think 10 "hits" out of 25 songs is a great show. (Even if they did play Fireworks both nights)

2. Poets
4. In View
5. Gift Shop
7. Fireworks
9. Ahead By A Century
13. Courage (For Hugh Maclennan) (A)
16. Grace, Too

20. New Orleans Is Sinking
23. My Music At Work

Ya I had the same list minus Fireworks, I couldn't get to 10, that's why I had to ask.
I like the Courage - Acoustic too as a "non-hit" - but understand the inclusion.

Playing the hits is fine with me. I had an incredible time at the show since I was in the first row! Nothing like being 3 feet from Gordie. Also my buddy got a shoutout for wearing a California Golden Seals jersey. That was awesome.

I really hope a recording of this show is posted. I had an awesome time.

For night 1, I also included Locked and Ocean as 'A' songs. My opinion, of course.

While we're sort of on it, my ideal 'realistic' setlist would include 8 N, 9 A, 5 B, 3 C / D.

On a % of total setlist basis: 32% new, 36% hits and casual faves, 20% songs people that have a bunch of Hip albums should know, 12% from the vault for the die-hards.

That Golden Seals jersey was pretty cool. Gilles Meloche!!!

It was incredible, I didn't know the $40 Craig Patrick jersey I bought off Ebay would lead to what could end up being the greatest moment in my life, haha. Having that boot would be awesome!!

I need 3 more posts

It's hard to go around just commenting on random things.

Re: 05/27/09: Vic Theatre: Chicago, IL - MrGoldenSeals - 06-02-2009

At the end of the day, where there is a will there is a way. You know, as they say, it's a good life if you don't weaken.
