borgs Wrote:lots on new instruments... last "evening with" tour, the hip brought along a female vocalist and some keys (chris and kate) has anybody entertained the idea that we might get to see some strings or horns sitting in with the band (perhaps for one of the sets)?
wouldn't that be rad?!
Not for me. Chris & Kate were awesome and added a cool dynamic to the overall sound, but I'd rather leave the strings and horns for the album versions. I absolutely LOVE this album, but when I see the Hip live I want it to be raw and visceral. I wanna be rocked and rolled. The strings are for when I'm at home relaxing with my headphones on. Like any Hip album, the songs are always much punchier in a live setting, and that's what I'm hoping for.
