I have a version of Emergency with Sarah McLaughlin singing back up vocals that I assumed was live. I listened to it again, and I don't hear any crowd noise. Is anyone familiar with this? When was it done and is it a studio outtake.

That version was taped in the studio. Sarah happened to be at the Bath studio, k-town when they were recording the album and did a version with them.

A new bit of trivia....the first one should be easy....these two lyrics have each appeared in two songs each...what are they?

"Garbage bag trees"

"Memories compress...northern lights"

First one to answer gets a high five...

Alright so here's another one....this is either a tough one or just too stupid...Heksenketel...Johnny was telling a story on the bus about a time where just a few people showed up for a gig...who was playing in town the same night as The Hip that caused the lack of attendance? I'm going from memory here, I hope I worded it right. Try to answer without popping in the vid.... :mrgreen:

He Dubbs Mr.Powell Two Doggs Fucking :mrgreen: Classic :lol: and i have no idea what Gord's bro does with the Bruskins Confusedcratch:

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!

I think I remember from the useless hip knowledge thread, that he is a dj or something like that? Confusedcratch:

I thought that it was at a studio in Quebec, not The Bathouse.

Harry Sinden is the President of The Bruins, and also Gord's godfather... but I have no clue what his brother does. I thought his brother was a video director.

His older brother Mike is a producer right? He did that video they have out.
Does he have any sisters?
