15 Years Ago in Vancouver... - sean.bonner - 11-08-2011

On November 8th, 1996, The Hip started a three-night stint at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum. By fall 1996, The Hip had perfected their live set in support of Trouble at the Henhouse. Even Coconut Cream makes an appearance in their 3 night run.

Here is a recording I found on my hard-drive of the last night of that run, on November 10th.

Although not a soundboard, this is a high quality audience recording and an even superior showing from the band. It's hard to pick highlights from this show. It's great to hear The Hip dedicating Flamenco to original Hip member Davis Manning, and it sets the stage beautifully for a particularly high energy version of Pigeon Camera..

Locked In The Trunk Of A Car features a classic Gord Downie 'rant' as he introduces Locked with 'Cookie Factory / If Your Freaked I'm Fucked'.

Hip "Rarities/B-Sides" Stereo and Hiccups also make appearances.

1996-11-10 - Vancouver, British Columbia
"Pacific Coliseum"

Thing have been quiet around here. Thought maybe everybody could use a Hip show.
The Hip should celebrate the 15th anniversary of Live Between Us with a 4 show box set: Complete Detroit '96 + These three Vancouver shows (Alright, I know I'm daydreaming on that one).

Anybody listen to this show?

Thanks very much Sean! I'm getting it now.

Thanks Sean, downloading as we speak. Sorry to digress, but are we not using the tracker anymore, or is this just a 'gift' to make it easier for those technophobes that haven't figured out torrents? Either way, set looks great, look forward to hearing it!

I only had mp3s, and mp3's aren't allowed on the tracker. Consider it a gift.

Complete with cover art, classy!

My opinion: they should allow both formats. Pesonally I'm an mp3/iPod guy and I really don't care for FLAC unless I'm burning CDs.

You rock, Bonner.

Sweet. Coconut Cream. Classic.

We didn't allow MP3s because we built a couple of other sites for the downloading crowd:

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehundredthmeridian.com/ftp.html">http://www.thehundredthmeridian.com/ftp.html</a> for the MP3 crowd.

But they kind of lost their way, and didn't get populated as planned...

Have fun!

This was the first tour I saw The Hip on and the first night in Winnipeg on this tour was actually my first rock concert (I was 13 yrs old at the time). This show and the Phantom Power show at the Winnipeg Arena still hold up as my favourite Hip shows I've been to. It's a bit tough to wrap my head around just how huge they were around Day For Night and Henhouse, playing multiple nights and selling out the biggest arenas in Canada.

I Love the 96 shows...

Hiccups was awesome on this. Don't think I've ever heard a "complete" version of it.
