Woo, this reply is late, but I'm brand new to the comm and pretty new to the band as well.
I was lucky enough to go to the April 12th show, which was my first Hip concert ever. We had loge seating, which turned out to be general admission, thankfully we were there early enough and we got front row seats off to the left. I had a perfect view of the band. Someone else here mentioned they were in loge as well and the sound was bad, but I thought they sounded great. Although, I don't have any other Hip concerts to compare it to.
I came into the concert with no expectations and no idea what sort of show the band would put on. I knew that Gord liked to dance and such on stage because of what a friend told me, but to see it in person was such a surprise, I really hadn't expected him to be such a crazy guy. I loved watching him play with the mic stand and his towels, and the bra someone threw on stage, lol.
One of my favorite moments was in the middle of At The Hundreth Meridian when he spun around on the bottem of the mic stand with a towel over his face, and his arms up like he was a zombie or something. The band puts on a great show, and I was so sad I couldn't go to the next night's show (especially when Gord ended the concert with 'see you tomorrow'!), but my fiance who went with me isn't a fan and he'd only go to one night's show. No one else I know likes them, which is really frustrating. I think the US needs to start playing them over here, I'm pretty sure that the only reason one of the stations I listen to (93.9) plays them is because we're so close to Windsor and it's a Canadian station.
Anyway, they played three of my very favorite songs (It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken, Bobcaygeon, and World Container), so I felt very lucky. I'm really only bummed that I missed Grace, Too, which they played the following night.
I can't wait for their next tour! ...And they're not even done with this one, yet. If only I could follow em around like hugh23.
