Tour - Buffalo Show - mookytc - 09-17-2012

Mmmm....no Buffalo show. Salamanca is not Buffalo imo. Yes there are a number of shows in area cities but this town that has been so supportive of the Hip. Surprised and a bit disappointed. Perhaps a venue availability issue?

Maybe a surprise gig around the release, otherwise it will be included on the winter tour like always.

There's an 11 day gap after the Salamanca date, so maybe a Buffalo gig is TBA

If my instincts pan out, I'm pretty certain that this 'first' U.S. run is just that; a 'first' U.S. run, set up of course for us fans but also for the band to have some time to gel, work out any kinks and familiarize themselves with playing the new material live, feel the songs out, see if any adjustments are needed and so on.

Seeing as they haven't toured, really toured that is, since 2009, I'm quite confident that they'll be on the road for most of next year as well, starting with an indepth Canadian tour, then in either order, a second U.S. tour and a small European run. The second U.S. tour would cover many of the cities not covered in the fall, as well as some of those venues that will be played in the Fall. I'm also suspecting that the second leg of the U.S. tour will have the Hip play some popular spots 2 nights in a row, and in a few rare instances, even 3 nights in a row.

I'm thinking back to their tour for World Container where they started with what they dubbed some warm-up gigs in Canada (in fall/winter 2006) followed by a bigger Canadian tour, two U.S. legs, and a short succinct European run. I have the impression based on comments from Baker that the Hip are ready to embark on a long strenuous tour seeing as its been 3 years since the last album and such.

Maybe with the uncertainty of the NHL strike and locking a date in for the former Hot Sauce Bleu Cheese Arena....(HSBC Arena) caused a conflict. late fall probably killed all the outdoor venues......one could hope for another Town Ballroom gig. But i think Buffalo date will be forthcoming.......

Agree. First time I was disappointed with a Hip show. But...I'll probably go back.

Buffalo shows are usually grouped with the Canadian leg of a tour.

Bought tickets to the Rochester show instead for this reason. Well, that and Dinosaur BBQ.

Yeah, Dinosaur along with sour reviews of Salamanca prompted my decision to go to Rochester, but mostly Dinosaur. Did I mention Dinosaur?
