i saw them TRY titanic once in vancouver, but gord just couldn't get it right, and yelled "fuck it...we'll do something else"...i was upset, but it was kind of cool to see them laugh about it..did get to see it at another show..saw boots twice on the "evening" tour ( i think..i know i've seen it twice), and a kick-ass version of So Hard Done By in seattle complete with sax ( i think it was steve berlin on stage...not sure...but very cool, and he stayed on for a really tripped out version of NOIS with "jet" in the middle of it...).sorry..kind of went off there..

(by the way, if anybody has that seattle show on CD, i'd love to get my hands on it...was for the PP tour

[jeff topping]

according to the sets from this summer.... if they are any indication..

gems would be something along the lines of...

we'll go too
looking for a place to happen
springtime
wheat
blow
fire

BUT I"LL TAKE EM!!!!!!

1. Emporer Penguin (I'd shit meself if I ever heard the opening notes live!)

Damn....you know, I'm not trying to rub it in, because I genuinely feel bad for you longtime Canadian Hip fans who long to see some of these cuts live. Until I stumbled upon this site, I didn’t realize how incredibly lucky I have been to see them so many times, in so many intimate venues. I heard all the Another Midnights and Trickle Downs and Opiateds twelve and thirteen years ago, and assumed all you longtimers had ample opportunity to see them in smaller venues scattered about Canada back in the day. I guess I was mistaken. Or maybe I’m just old.

Because it was so freaking spectacular, I have a crystal clear memory of hearing Emperor Penguin in Toledo during the PP tour. The image of Gord, his free hand raised up, oscillating, with that facetious grin and far-away look on his face while he sang “iiit’s a phhhhhysical impossaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhbility” will forever be etched in my memory.

:oops: Don’t hate me.

Hey Opiated - That's one sweet Stairway avatar you've got there....

[bobnfran]

And I was just sitting here wondering if anyone had ever heard Trickle Down...that would be SO sweet...but I don't believe it'll ever happen!!

I'm one spoiled bastard, I guess. Check this out:

I saw them do Trickle Down the first time they played The Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio. The place was almost empty, and we watched the entire show from a pub-table which sat about twenty feet from the edge of the stage.

Gord still had hair then.......

I seen them do "titanic" in detroit during the "evening" with tour. I've never been a huge fan of the song (it's ok) but it sounded just fine. An yes, the version of Penquin at the toledo zoo was stellar.

wish list:
1. Escape
2. Pistols
3. Weight
4. Throwing Glass

Here is the 12/09/2000 St. John Setlist:.....

hock: WOW! 29 songs?? That must have been incredible!

[grooveless touque]

Yup, on the evening with tour, the East scored big time...one show had 31 songs and Halifax had about 29 as well. Last time we heard a peep out of the band (as I've said before) but it was a good peep while it lasted.

[The Horrible Esthete]

Well, now you can feel privileged, while I wring my hands and moan about never seeing such a mammoth show!

I'm used to nothing more than 19, 20, or 21 numbers at a Hip gig.....[/b]
