Top Ten Hip Shows Of All Time IMO - eatmecompletely - 08-21-2012
Hey all I was thinking on my drive today to start a debate of the top 10 hip shows of all time
I have seen over 30+ shows and Have listened to over 100 + shows in the old XL2
Here is my rhyme and reason
1) ARA 93 Markahm Fairgrounds Both Nights Combined
- Introduction of natuical and thugs
- The day that they went from being a bar band to rock stars
- Insane 100th with a gun free Japan
- Jammed out Camera with the jumper
- Most of Heksenketle is from there
- and oh yeh Get Back Again !
2) Maple Leaf Gardens 95 First show ever at MLG
- This is when they became the arena rock band
- 50 mission cap performed in that building with #5 above shaking
- Great NOIS and ahead by a century tease
- Overall great sounding show and they played unreal that show
3) The Hip Live at the Roxy (No Idea the date)
- Double Suicide
- Great recording
- Great rants
4) Concert Hall 97
- Suprise Show
- Entire crowd was rocking
- Great intorduciton to the new album
- 700 ft ceiling was insane I remember body surfing
- High energy from start to finish
5)Kumbaya Festival
- all of Canada had a chance to see how great they were
- Excellent start with Gord and I think the cash brothers playing Hey Maria
- Great thug
- Clean Shaven gord for that show however still wearing that dirty save the human shirt
- NOIS is a must hear (Keep that wagon wheel rolling)
6) Centinial Hall London 98
- Great energy
- Great way to launch phantom power
- all for camp trillium
- some dude jumped off the balcony while the hip where doing cocain waiting to come on (or so the joke is)
7) Commodore Ballroom 2006?
- Wow what a show
- Fights and all
- great gord rants
- I think everyone in that room was wasted, I sure was and gord looked extra happy
8) ACC First Show there 97
- The hip opened up the ACC and broke it in well
- Great overall show
- Rocking
9) Marine Midland Arena 96
- Great luxury
- Excellent Grace
- Good american Energy
10) The last MLG shows in 96
- Gord tap dancing during little bones right over the henhouse (where i was lucky enough to sit)
- Any show at MLG was unreal
Let me know your thoughts guys
This board is kinda dead could use some life

no one has a comment on this

I don't think any list should exclude the show at Fort York on June 24, 2006. The first appearance of 38 Years Old in over a decade, not to mention the wonderfully diverse setlist, puts it near the top for me.

YOU ASKED for comments whether your list was 100% accurate. The Hip's 1991 Roxy gig took place on May 3, 1991.

A couple off the top of my head:
Calgary, MacEwan Hall, U of C, 2006.
-Warm-up gig for World Container.
-First performance of Fiddler's Green in two decades. My head nearly exploded.
Sasquatch Festival, 2006.
-Crazy show. The most insane hail storm I've ever seen poured down during Neko Case. The poor woman had to cut her set short only 5 songs in so the crew could shovel all the snow off the stage. Then the Hip went on and blew everybody's socks off. Lots of great rants from Gord about the crazy weather, not to mention a brilliant version of Grace and the live debut of Rink, Fly, and The Drop Off. Gord opened the show with "That was the most hail I've ever seen. This is Grace Too...for Neko Case."

Grape Jam, Grape Jam, Grape Jam 8-8-1998 it's only a snow fence
Artpark 6-6-2009 loudest, most into it crowd, most bouncing crowd I have ever seen. Unbelievable.
Syracuse, NY 10-3-2000 "Is there some kind of unrest in the pit? Is there some kind of problem with the - your view? What's wrong? Please, I want to know. Because you can't keep giving me the finger and expect me to go on with the show. It has an effect. How could it not? I could try to ignore you, but, that's not the ticket you bought. And what about your friend, young Castro? Where'd he go? That's how Milosevic started."
