This was my 16th Hip show dating back to my first one in 1996. Saturday night was one of the better arena shows I've seen in the past ten years. The band sounded good (Johnny seemed much more animated than the last few shows and I love their rythem section with he and Gord). I really liked the visuals accompanying the Fully songs and wish Lionized and Eldorado were played more live. These two songs and Locked were my highlights from the Fully set.
I agree the show seemed very rushed. My main complaint is the length of the show, under 2 hours. With their back catalogue, and hearing how good the rarities on Fully sounded, I really wish they'd dig deeper. My other complaint is when Gord keeps rephrasing songs, like on Grace, Too.
Over the past few years I've hated a couple shows (Winnipeg 2011 and 2013), not minded one (Brandon) and really liked one (Fargo). This show I really liked and it made me look forward to the next one which hasn't always been the case in the past decade.
