It was an amazing concert. The new songs sounded absolutely killer live, and Fire in the Hole was an awesome closer.
There was a guy videotaping the whole thing, but I don't know what ended up happening with that. And Gord's big "I'm going to keep my nose clean/I'm going to Afghanistan/I'm comin' home soon" rant was at the end of "Grace, Too", if I remember correctly. (I may not, this was my first Hip show and I was just pretty much blown away start to finish!)
Also, they played Fever, Heaven, and Sherpa as part of the sound check about 2 hours before the show. It was cool to see them playing really-laid back with a couple dozen people around, then watch them do the same songs later with the crowd cheering and Gord's acrobatics.
