Davis Manning doing a tour with them, I think that would be very cool to see.For me that would be total full circle for them.

I would have to get opinions from people that were there to see Harper or other bands and not the Hip to really believe that statement.
I've seen Harper and I would say he blows the Hip off the stage, but in a very different way, I can see lots of Hip fans not enjoying a Ben Harper show which is cool, it has a vibe that Hip fans may find a bit too laid back for their liking.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE Ben Harper, especially live. I just thought the Hip put on a better show that day, that's all. I've been to many concerts over the years, and in my opinion the Hip can easily hold their own against any band out there.

[skippy the wonder dog]

Well, I was actually kidding about Davis Manning, in response to the suggestion of going back to the 1985 stage setup.

But if you listen to the Copper Penny boot, Davis Manning was the best thing the band had back then. It actually would be cool to hear him play with them now.

That's cool and you are right. The Hip Can hold their own with pretty much anybody out there/

If they are to do smaller venues, then come to St. John's, NL and play at the Delta Ballroom, or even smaller at the Majestic Theatre.

I drove down for that show as well, but don't remember the Hip being better than Ben Harper, or QOTSA for that matter...they played a really abbreviated set because of the weather, and although they played the best of their upcoming songs (Rink and Drop Off) plus Fly, they played songs that no one had heard before at a festival, which made it harder to g...and man, Harper KILLED that night!

[opiated]

i've seen harper shows that are better than some hip shows, and vice versa...The Dixie Chicks put on one of the best shows i've EVER seen, and that shocked the hell out of me

[Billy]

I'm sure whatever direction they choose will be just fine for all of us

Me personally...i'd like to see a song with Paul doing the main vocals

Yup, more Paul on the next album.

[Haircut-Rabbit]

There's no studio version of Fighter Fighter available is there?

And I second the motion for more Paul. Love his vocal work on Music@Work.
