I'm sad to say that this was easily the worst of the 7 Hip shows I've seen. If I had known it wasn't an 'evening with' format show, I don't think I would have gone. Luckily I didn't have to go too far out of my way, I was already in Solana Beach the night before, but I felt sorry for the large groups who had flown in from Vancouver (though I suspect they were there more for the 'nucks than the Hip).
The highlight of the show for me, however, was surprisingly NOIS. It featured an extended rant in the middle during which Gord told a story of the man who traveled to New Orleans and didn't want to leave when it started sinking. Coupled with the stop time "SHE SAID" section of the song they've been doing this year, it's probably my favourite version of NOIS I've personally seen.
