I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I find it funny that despite fully completely being my favourite album, I would MUCH rather get it in the encore set in Ottawa than a main set, mainly because I saw the whole album done twice just a year ago. Give me some road apples and day for night rarities and opiated, please and thank you. Or Phanton power. Either way, really.

I agree, I have had enough Fully Completely(not my fav album but it's a good one).

70+ and counting....

Okay, so I am curious. What other band/artist does this? Pearl Jam or Springsteen? This is the big story if you ask me; not whether Gord is remembering lyrircs; or they are going to play more shows; or how tight they are playing.

They've played 70+ different songs during 8 shows!! This is epic.

I digress...what's left to play (within reason) - Nautical Disaster, Depression Suite, somthing from EP (Highway Girl), Here, in the Dark, Hot Mic.

What's left to play? Hmmm..

No Threat
Dark Canuck
Darkest One
All Tore Up
You're Everywhere
Vaccination Scar
Goodnight Josephine
Heart of the Melt
Sharks
700 Ft Ceiling
Apartment Song
Let's Stay Engaged
Freak Turbulence
Frozen in My Tracks
Exact Feeling
Save the Planet
Completists
Sherpa
Impossibilium
Emergency
IOD
About This Map

Well...maybe some of those aren't realistic... but I can dream for Ottawa and Kingston :music

With Nautical tonight convincing me that we may not have heard everything yet, here is my list of potentials (and even some of this is wishful thinking):

38 YO
The Wherewithal
Fire in the Hole
Emperor Penguin
Tiger the Lion
The Darkest One
Silver Jet
Vaccination Scar

Does anyone have any stats on song positions in setlists? Specifically, I was wondering when the last time, if any, The Luxury had opened a show?

I can say with 99% certainty that it hasn't opened ever before (same with Opiated).

Well, that's great for you. But as someone who hasn't seen a Hip show since 2009 (because NFPA and the FC album tour didn't come near me, and one of my WATS shows was cancelled), I don't have the same opinion, and I'm sure there are other folks who did see those tours who feel the same way.

But I can appreciate that the band might be going a little light on FC in order to mine more from the rest of the catalog during this tour. While the Calgary shows only had 2x FC songs over the 2x nights, they played tunes from WC and busted out the first IVL set - (not as great as FC, granted, IMHO, but still very fine).

When you're dealing with artists that mix up their set lists, you have to be ready for what you get. I have seen Neil Young many times, but I've never seen him play "Heart of Gold" live. And I had to go to a heck of a lot of Allman Brothers shows before I finally got to hear "Whipping Post" (seriously).

Thankfully, I have seen the Hip play a fair share of FC songs over the years, so it's all good. And I got Rolling Stones and Them covers at my first TTH show, so I guess I can't really complain too much about set lists.

[posthead]

Well, that's interesting - just dug a little deeper into Sherpa's stats, and FC is still the second most "represented" album this tour (9 sets over 10 shows), behind only Phantom Power (10 for 10).

(not including Man Machine Poem, as it is a "given" that they will play tunes from it every night; have to wonder if they would dare to not play a PP set at any show over the rest of the tour?)

What's also curious is that FC is the only album where they have played it more as an encore set than a "main" set. Fascinating.

[sean.bonner]

The Kingston B-Sides set is gonna be phenom.

[gillcash]

I'd like to hear "Man" live .....

For a Man Machine Poem set it would be nice to open with Man and then end with Machine.

[carebread]

The Kingston B-Sides set is gonna be phenom.

I'm expecting a bit more Greatest Hits than anything else, so fingers crossed.

Blonde Solid, Ultra Mundane, hiccups Rap-rant?
