I was at that show...actually, I never made the hsow...the state cops got on the bus I was on because we had to get shipped up to the venue and they said don't get off, the shows over. I was pissed. To make matters worse, the Band had 4 t-times reserved at the golf club I work at and they no-showed us...

9-30-96 at the 9:30 Club in DC. 20 some-odd minutes. So long the taper had to switch sides half-way through the song.

Lots of Save The Planet, the actual line "Escape is at Hand for the Travelling Man," and a rare, not before Dare Devil version of Hiccups. Plus lots of little rants about remembering everything, breaking a microphone stand and a punishment involving a torturous poetry in China... or Oakville.

I had it on CD somewhere, ripped from a real low gen tape I used to play the hell out of. I think it's a casualty of a couple of moves though.

The version from the High Sierra Music Festival, in Bear Valley from 1995 was pretty epic

not sure where, when or who I got this version from, its the 2nd last song in The Martyr's in Chicago, and the rant is about the cartographer John Welsey Powell. Under 7 minutes.

1996-09-11 in Las Vegas, over 17 minutes, includes Westwind, Insomniacs of the World, Gathering Storm, and So Hard Done By.

My personal favourite for a show I've seen would be London 2004-11-27, which wasn't particularly long, but the crowd was going insane by the end of the microphone stand battle.

I went to a show in Cleveland back in 2007 with a friend of mine who wasn't much of a fan beyond a few songs here and there. At the end of Fireworks he turns to me and says "This is awesome!" Then the opening notes of Hundredth Meridian kicked in. I just looked at him and said, "Oh, then I think you'll like this" :wink:

I love when new fans discover the greatness that is a live Hip show. When I saw them at the Sasquatch Festival in '06, my sister and I were standing beside a girl who had never heard of them before. Immediately after their performance, she ran off to the merch tent and came back with 3 Hip CDs and a t-shirt.

Of the few times I've seen it live, my favourite has to be from the Academy 3 in Manchester at the end of 2009. Amazing!

I'd like to hear some of the older, extended versions from the mid-90's if anyone has FLACs. :thumb:
