I think the boys couldn't find a live version that they liked, so it wasn't played live that much. I think I remember reading in an interview before IVL came out, someone in the band said that they thought "Leave" would be the hardest song to tackle live.

Fantastic! Un-Freakin'-believable! It's amazing that they played this and I am happy for all those who were there. I have had my share of Hip moments over the years and though i'm sad that I wasn't at this one I know that I have 3 shows to look forward to (and I'm sure more memories to boot - Emperor Penguin here I come! - as long as it's not on Friday though - *hint* MAv).
On a related Fiddler's Green note I was at the video shoot for the
MM@W video (which happened to be on Mother's Day) and Bobby and Gord and Paul were waiting for the directions to be given to Gord D for a particular shot and they started riffing around with the Fiddler's Green intro. They only played about 30 seconds worth but it was pretty cool.

just found this thread after enjoying FG for decades...
Did Gord comment about the song from the stage?
I mean this was a major moment in Hip history!

Did you see the YouTube footage, didn't seem to say very much as far as I could see,just intro'ed it....
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

The shows on the weekend were amazing.....really the best hip shows I've seen. That was the highlight for me....that and thugs, and Flamenco. Other than that, all, or most of the new songs were the best parts of the shows.

I really can't wrap my brain around how that must have felt to have heard live.
I just watched the video from YouTube and I am surprised that there wasn't more of a reaction when Gord introduced the song. Granted, I probably would have been too shocked to say or do anything.

I came this close to tears. There was a good reaction at the front (much of it from the people I'd told I thought I'd heard it during soundcheck and followed up with "but they'll never play that ever"), but I suppose it was probably lost on the rest of the crowd. Frankly I just wish people would have stopped screaming in the middle of the song! Then again, that could be said for basically every song. Hmph.
