i may stand corrected on the fully completely remark as that makes sense... :wink: i am pretty sure i thought he said emperor penguin right before pigeon camera though... i was to the left right up front as one of the previous posters was and the bass was very loud there so i did miss alot of the local rants and dialogue so i very well could be wrong. glad to hear the sound on the balcony was great... heres hoping for a good recording!

After the Cleveland show I was fortunate to meet my friends Markslog (Mark), Mr. Dave (Dave) and Dreyfuss (Steve) as they were putting away their taping gear after The Hip show. All three of them had nice sunburns after attending a Cleveland Indians baseball game earlier. We spoke about the shows we attended in Detroit and Cleveland and how the three of them were just about to hit the road to travel back to Canada. Of course I was distressed to hear that they were involved in a car accident and Mark's car was totaled. I'm relieved to hear that everyone is alive and uninjured. I'm glad I was able to thank all three of them for their generous contributions to the Hip community.
As for the Cleveland show, I thought it was very good. I especially liked hearing Boots & Hearts, Save the Planet and Pigeon Camera. The Cleveland HOB is smaller than the Fillmore in Detroit. The show was sold out and the venue was tightly packed with fans from Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Canada. The Detroit fans were there, but we were a minority. A sign posted on the front door of the HOB stated that the featured artist for the night has requested no use of the A/C. Please don't ask the staff to turn it on. And believe me it was very hot inside, but everyone was into the show cheering for The Hip and giving competing Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Canada chants.
I enjoyed all three shows I saw this weekend and each setlist was special and unique in its own right. If I had to chose the best show of them all, I would have to agree with Dreyfuss and say the 2nd Detroit show and setlist was extra special. Unfortunately, I only have one more Hip show on my itinerary for this tour. I'm hoping that Rock the Park in London, Ontario is as enjoyable and fun as the three shows I saw this weekend.

If Im not mistaken Gord says, "we'd like to hit your now, with a Fully Completely...(crowd roar) Double Shot"
Then proceeded to play Pigeon Camera followed by Courage. No mention of Emperor
Seems like the album "double shot" seems to be a pattern, seen again in Artpark with the Yawning/Inevitability...double shot.

After seeing this show, and by now the sat. artpark show, it is hard to compare the two. They are so different venues and totally different chemistry. I will say this....it was hot as hell in the HOB, and the crowd seemed sort of out of it. The LOONNGG delay on the encore I believe was a direct result of it. Also, being from Buffalo, I was very very embarassed and ashamed of some other "Buffalo fans" I was on the flor to the slight right of stage, and some of the biggest assh&les I have ever seen at a concert were right next to us. After one of them proceeded to throw an entire beer all over anyone in the vacinity, they started dancing like they were at a Rage Against the Machine mosh pit. Anyone that was near this...I am sorry, that is not how Buffalo rolls. I thought concert was awesome, I love HOB, was there 2 yrs ago, and yes it was much less crowded then.

This was my favorite Hip show that I've seen. That anticipation of not knowing what song will come next was awesome. I really liked the 2 set format they did for this tour. I might be partial to this tour, because I actually really enjoyed We Are The Same album.
