BTW. I was at the show and what a great show it was. You may have noticed me if you were there as I stuck out. I was the big guy wearing a Team Canada Jersey and a funny looking hat 
I highly enjoyed the show which was my first show and they started it out very well with use it up followed by music at work and new orleans is sinking and then slamming into fully completely. It was an awesome way to start the show. The crowd was very rough up front so I decided it was time to get the hell out of there. I had been up front all day and hadnt had a drink in a while so I was fairly tired, especially after nursing a hangover. I then found my way out onto the hill to find a friend who was watching from there and then we found a good spot on the hill. While I watched from the hill I witnessed something I had never seen in my limited concert experience. There were grown couples laying together singing loud and porud every word of the hips songs which was an amazing experience. The band played a VERY good Ahead By A Century which was followed by an equally good version of "The Dire Wolf".
The Song closing out the main set was Nautical Disaster which was also done very well. I was surprised to see alot of people leaving after Nautical Disaster, only to see them turn around as they heard the opening drum beat to Grace, Too. They ended the show once and for all with Blow At High Dough which was an awesome way to close the show.
As a new hip fan, seeing my first hip show, I was VERY impressed and cant help but hope they do an arena tour in the fall.
