Hi all,
My first ever post here.
My third Hip show, the last two being also at Shepherds Bush Empire on the two previous Euro tours. As always The Hip were in top form, not much to add to what's been said already. I didn't spot Kelly Jones or Midge Ure but I did see Stuart Cable on the 1st level after the show. Saw him last in a hotel after Rush had played Wembley - it must be a Welsh/Canadian thing!
Very impressed with the support band Karma 45 who sounded a bit like Big Country meets Placebo. Great vocalist and some nice pre-recorded keyboard textures going on behind that guitar work - worth checking them out.
Still on a bit of a high but the reality then hits home that it's probably another 2 years before we Europeans get to see a Hip show again
Looking forward to seeing the vids, there was a guy in the first row on the level 1 balcony who seemed to be doing a very good job.
Now I've found this forum. I'll be back.
Take care all.
