4: Gus: The Polar Bear From Central Park
5: The Drop-Off
6: Ahead By A Century
7: In View- love this song! even without the keys just wicked
8: Gift Shop
9: The Last Of The Unplucked Gems- best song of night gord jogged around stage with towel- long intro till he could get the mic stand down
10: World Container

18: Grace, Too
19: Blow At High Dough
20: Big Yellow Taxi- Gord barely could read the lyrics from the piece of paper on stage
21: Family Band- the combo of this and taxi brought the crowd down
22: Little Bones
I love the hip but the crowd wasnt into it at all- barely a response to the constantines unforunately - Beer line up was insane one bar - 3 bartenders and a line-up of over 300! a really shitty setlist - i love the hip but maybe hearing the same songs over and over get tiresome and to hear a joni mitchell cover with gord trying to sing the lyrics from a piece of paper and not hearing an original for an encore is very dissapointing ive been to over 12 shows and maybe my last with this one - Gord is great but not to listen to what fans want to hear makes no sense- its great fiddlers green is being played - but what about all the others ones? The crowd was lack lustre and the band did put on a good show but to say it was great is just being unreal. There were moments with a super "gems" but it was a mellow set. Thanks to the wolf's 101.5 Marty for annoucing the password to the pre-sale on the radioso everyone not on the mailing list could get tickets and i could wait on the phone for 4 hours! I love the hip but damn this was dissapointing
p.s : im guessing the guy with the camera was mav up front

I'd never pass up an opportunity to see the Hip, but I might have been a little disappointed with that setlist.
Very few of my favourites from any of the albums and a couple of tunes I'm slowly growing tired of.
That being said, a Hip concert is always more about the overall experience and the energy the band exudes. I'm jealous of anyone who gets to see the Hip live.

The show was great, even if they didn't play the few songs you feel entitled to here. This was one of the biggest bands to ever play Peterborough, and we'll ave them back any time they're on the road.
And the fact you feel Family Band brought the crowd down goes to show the crowd in Peterborough appreciated hereing songs like NOIS, ABAC, Grace, BobC, etc.

Just a note for anyone thinking about taking balloons to a hip concert....DON'T DO IT! Someone had a couple of large balloons for everyone to hit around...Gord was not impressed and after he took a tumble from one he popped it and then loudly announced that he "f***ing hates balloons!"
