Just to be fair, I actually waited until today to buy it. I felt bad for the Americans who have been unable to buy it.
I ran out today and bought it! After a first listen it sounds great! What a crisp new sound!

The store manager told me that it will not be a true acoustic set, he said that he is positive that they will have amps and the like.

Well, an electro-acoustic set would suit me down to the ground! 8) Quite a lot of bands do sessions like this over here - and they tend to sound great! I'd love to hear a Hip one.

Does anyone think/know if the band will be doing any radio shows in America to promote WC?

Tragically Hip pre-game
The Tragically Hip release "World Container" Stateside on Tuesday, and come to Buffalo for a two-night stand at the Town Ballroom, beginning Friday night. For fans of the band, every Hip show is a new experience, a chance to see Gordon Downie ride the crest of his creative genius in real time, and an opportunity to hear rarely-played songs, interesting covers, or even tunes getting their "in-concert" debut.


So what makes a great Hip show? Are there songs you must hear? Others that interupt the flow of an otherwise great gig? Is there any one song the appearance of which early on in the set spells a great show to come?

In Friday's Gusto, which will feature my recent interview with Gord Downie, I'll offer my fantasy Tragically Hip set-list. In the meantime, let's hear about some of your own favorite past sets, and criteria for the "perfect" Hip set.
