There have always been some major Ottawa haters on this site since day 1. Every single time the HIP play Ottawa, they come out and bash Ottawa. It's bizarre. If you want to argue that Hamilton, Kingston, or one or more of the Toronto shows was "louder" than Ottawa, sure, but to say things like Ottawa was a quiet crowd or that fans were sitting down is like a Fox News/Trump perception of reality. The CTC was as loud as it has ever been last Thursday. I didn't see anyone sitting down. If you were in a section where you saw someone sitting down, don't say 19,000 people were sitting down. The Ottawa crowd was great, the band fed off the energy and put on one of the best shows of the tour, it was my second favorite set-list of the tour (Kingston of course), and I think we all know that Kingston had the best crowd. The biggest crowd would have been ACC in Toronto and just naturally should have and probably was decibel-wise, the loudest. But all shows on the tour were tremendous and all crowds were out of their minds emotional and excited. The vast majority of fans who got tickets to this tour were true HIP fans. If 1% of them weren't jumping up and down and screaming there could be a 100 reasons for that and they shouldn't be shit on. This thinking reminds me of when Kanye West stopped playing to call out one person who was seated and after several minutes of insulting the man, he realized the man was in a wheelchair. Ooops. We're a #hipfamily and in Gord we trust. Hip!
