Did any other neurotic people think the scary thought that this big-ass extended tour is some kind of swan song? These type of thoughts enter my head often...

[nohochin]

It's funny you mention that mastodonfarm. I hadn't had that thought until about 2 days ago, when it just popped in my head suddenly.

Things that make you go hmm...

My theory has been that the Hip are interested in doing as many US dates as they can before the "passport/boarder crossing" issues gets resolved. Most fans might not want to deal with the hassles of that stuff to cross over for shows...hmm

I think the Hip will carry on for several years/albums/tours but the US might be SOL in the future. Us Americans might have to see the band in Ontario. I for one would certainly obtain whatever I need to cross into Canada and see them...

my 2 cents anyways...

The passport/border stuff won't be an issue if you actually have a passport (which is why I'm finally getting mine this year). This is definitely one of the longest tours they've ever done. Personally I think the World Container album breathed new life into the band, and they're just really enjoying themselves and playing as many shows as they can before taking the winter off.

i would think that the boys already have passports with going overseas and into the US .

Not the band.... THE FANS

[WesleyC.]

Funny thing, I have thought to myself " 30 years and have gotten as big as they can" " whats next?" Yes I figured that mabey they might call it a day for a while and then resurface a few years down the road for a "make love agian" tour. But I sure hope that next summer they would do , "weekend long camp overs" where all us fans get to pay 2 times the price and spend a weekend camping in tents together to watch 2 shows over 2 nights, and the band plays no song 2 times. Now that would be a great farewell if they were even thinking of one. Not an extended tour.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I hope the VT show is the final show of the tour...the last memorial show the game 7 of the sox v. yankees game 7 of the '04 ALCS. the playoff's are coming.......here that Roger?

Glad to see the Hip remain loyal of bringing up and coming Canadian bands on the road with them when they tour the US.

Anyone with "sources" have a sense of whether the Rochester dates will close out this leg of the tour -- or could there still be some more popping up on into November?
I suppose it would be kind of poetic if they end their U.S. dates in Rochester after starting their non-Who dates there in March.

I'm pretty excited about this one. I just bought tix for the Boston show becuase I didn't think they were hitting my area this leg(i'm in syracuse but i've already seen i think 8 shows this year becuase I figure they're not doing it too much longer) and now I see they'll be here the next week. I probably wouldn't have done boston but oh well its an excuse for a road trip which is always good times. That would be cool if Rochester ended it. I'll probably hit those up too. I can't believe how much these guys have toured in the last year. If I see the last 3 shows in a row it will be fitting becuase I started the last year off with both shows in Montreal last November. Very good times!

Is this all set in stone yet? I've checked the landmark theatre website in syracuse and they have it advertised with tix going on sale next saturday but I can't find anything on the Rochester shows yet. Since I"m in the neighborhood I'll try and hit all 3 but i'm surprised its not on the hip website yet.

[bstrauss24]

I too just bought Boston tix and then the Rochester shows came up...but its all good...I'm looking at it as an excuse to go Boston, and hey...more HIP. Speaking of the Roch shows...should we start a thread keeping people alert of on sale info? If its anything like the Buffalo Mach shows tix will be gone FAST!
