If they can nail down Leave live to sound like the album version, they should play it. Otherwise I think it sounded very bad in the June concerts, and it is far and away my favorite song from IVL! Go figure!

I relistened to that IVL release also and I was there... the songs sounded better being there... some songs were a little rough...now also with a few months under their belt of Touring... I believe it would sound much better?

Hey Completeist
You are so right, those were the first 3 shows and some songs probably sounded rough. I wasn't there so I can only go off the boots. You're right about the touring and practice time. I had heard they were doing Leave in some of their soundchecks but I don't know which ones, and apparently they teased the fans at the Silver Jet shoot with a bit of it. I love pretty much every Hip song live and I really hope they can get Leave arranged for the live shows. I just really love the album version for certain reasons and it didn't seem like they had transferred that energy over to the live version, YET! I think the best is yet to come!

I'd like to see She Didn't Know on the list. Bring It All Back, On The Verge, or We'll Go Too would all be good choices too.

Whatever comes out of this poll, I think that everyone should email an individual request (for the winning song) to the Hip. A poll showing the results of 200 people voting for a song is impressive, but 200 emails all calling for the same song on the same night is even better.

Let the games begin...

Wait....change Fiddler's Green to the Bear. That song would sound awesome live! I love that song.

I've been looking over their setlists lately and they started playing Pigeon Camera earlier in this tour. Would love them to play PC in Toronto #1. Other choices:

Another Midnight
Bring it all back
Unplucked Gems
I'll Believe in you
An Inch An Hour

Let's hope for the best......

[Drez7]

Let's go with:

- I'll Believe In You
- Cordelia
- 38 Years Old
- Looking For A Place To Happen
- Emperor Penguin

Boy it would be nice! There has to be a couple surprises at these theatre shows, just can't wait to see what they're going to be!

I'm gonna be at the Syracuse show and it would be woodstockerific if they palyed these songs:

1)looking for a place to happen
2)last of the unplucked gems
3)small town bringdown
4)highway girl
5)thugs

The next poll should be up shortly and many of you took part in deciding which songs would be included in the vote for :

"What Gem(s)" should TTH dust off, practice and present to us at The Hummingbird Theatre and the rest of the Tour?

There was to be 5 on the list but there was a 4th place tie... so I made it 6! I listed the 6 in order as to most votes on Top! This is going to be a GREAT POLL. I was surprised at a couple of the songs that made it in....?????

Poll will be up soon... and Yes we will make up a results format or something explaining how we came up with the poll & final results. Rory is going to get to the Band after the Winnepeg show & emailing it to the Band is also a great idea... from the busiest Hip-Fan sites and individuals.. almost like a Petition... a friendly one....but maybe challenging.

For the record my 5 choices were:

Another Midnight
When the Weight Comes Down
Get Back Again
Sherpa
Bring It All Back

I like HWY GIRL like the rest of you but man I can't imagine TTH going thru with this whole idea and not having the song be... "ANOTHER MIDNIGHT" ...come on AM supporters vote..... "she was 1970.....
