I've been able to see the Hip twice now in small clubs; at the Commodore in Vancouver during the M@W tour and at Lee's Palace in Toronto at the Olympic warm-up.
It was great to finally see them in a tiny venue, but I actually left disappointed. I really missed the sensation of over ten thousand fans singing along to every song and the energy that comes with a huge concert. Club shows tend to be shorter, meaning they're usually greatest hits shows with a few songs from the new album sprinkled in.
Obviously everyone who gets in will have a great time and I really hope everyone who's spent years imagining seeing the Hip at a small club gets to see them there, but I'm actually looking forward to the Molson Amp. shows more than a local club gig.
But speaking of that, the Hip mentioned that the Molson Amp show will be their only Toronto date this summer. I assume that means that Toronto won't be getting a club show. So GTA Hip fans; get ready for a roadtrip.
