Seems like we've done this a few times already, but what the hell.
Putting them in order is a pretty difficult thing to do so I'll just list 5 shows that stick out in my mind.
Aspen CO, 1998...Hip outside at the base of a mountain, winning over American fans almost as soon as the base line from Grace kicked in to start the show...too perfect.
ARA 1995 Craven, SK...my first outdoor Hip show and the energy of the band and crowd are still vivid in my mind.
Halloween 1991 at SaskPlace...my first Hip show and the place was nuts with all the drunk people and the Hip were extremely animated.
Last November at Mac Hall when they played Fiddlers for the very first time. Holy christ, I haven't had shivers down my spine like that in a very, very long time...if ever.
Nov 19, 2004, Saddledome...not sure exactly what it was about this show but it may very well be my favorite of the whole lot.
