On Tour with The Hip - 2 back

"From there we had a straight line all the way up to Seattle, with stops in L.A., San Fran., and Portland. The San Francisco show was an amazing experience. Thanks to the Hip, we were handed a gig at the legendary Fillmore, in front of a sold-out house. Red curtains hang from the walls, chandeliers reflect the stage lights in a million different directions. Posters from shows stretching back to the 60's line the wall like works of art at the Louvre. There is a photo of Pete Townshend throwing his guitar at least 20 feet in the air in front of a spellbound crowd, with a caption reading "The last note of the last song played at…" The history in that place takes over from the moment you walk in. The mission then becomes one of having to add your infinitely small but still-important piece to the buildings legacy. We gave it everything we had, opening with No Sleep and then picking it up, song by song 'till we played the last chord of Where Have All the Good People Gone and walked off stage.

"

Amen brotha! He didn't mention the bottle of whiskey I bought his band. Shucks.
