A sign of things to come for cities left off of the current Canadian tour?
I'm sure they'll do their usual cross-Canada summer festival tour, but for the first time in my life I've decided I won't be participating. I'm still holding out hope for a 2nd leg of U.S. dates later this year. The Hip are still my favorite band of all time, and I'll go see these guys in a small club or theatre at the drop of a hat. But I'm done with the big arena/festival thing.
Yeah, I think I'm at the same place now. If I get a chance to see them in the States again (Indy in '07 was amazing) or if they play a theatre in Canada, I'll go. I think I'm done paying the big money for the big shows.
