I can't imagine a show with Gord just singing -- when I first say them, I guess 20+ years ago, it was his stage presence, ramblings that would turn into songs on the next album, that grabbed me. I remember reading something about REM a few years ago, essentially they were a bar band fronted by a odd, mumbling artist and that's what made them intriguing. I put the Hip in the same boat -- great band, but great because they are not by the note.
