i wonder if Gord asked them to turn the AC off last night

:lol:

[Killer Whale Tank]

Did Gord look slightly heavier than usual (his road diet = more than beer and gum?), or was it just that his hair was longer than usual?

Perspiring minds wanna know.

Im not sure about gord looking heavier, but matt good has been chunking up lately...


also...The canadian flag was originally designed to be a cape..so its not a fashion feux pas...actually it was originally designed to say the tragically hip on it as well.....so i wrote that in...just to be accurate...

[Tthip]

I noticed that too about Gord. Heavy.

[hipfan39]

Well i realy liked the performance, and have watched it like 7 times already! : )

I just saw them in Calgary last Friday and I don't think he looks any different, but if he is heavier, is it really worth talking about on here?? I mean, have you run out of anything better to talk about? Seems rather vain and completely unimportant.

[Cpt. Trips]

I agree.

However, how many:

Greatest Hits CD
Favorite Song
Least Favorite Song
Favorite Album
Least Favorite Album
Dream Setlist

Hip on Tv

ps.
Props to all the posters who post lyric analysis and what not..I wish i had that energy, but luckily you do it for me...

They could have played any one of the thrilling rockers on IBE, and they chose a heavy, plodding song?

I agree completely. This was not a Hip concert, it was a mix of all folk.

Many people in the stands were clearly not interested in Gus, but did perk up a bit when the more familiar Courage was performed.

On the plus side, they did give away free CDs post game (Featuring Gus, and Josephine).

[Chris Tanz]

album versions of Gus and Josephine or something else?

I haven't opened it yet, but the type on the back states: "From the Universal compact disc: "IN BETWEEN EVOLUTION", so I have to assume that they're studio tracks.

The Hip clearly are in a no win situation. IF they play the popular hits, they get bashed for it and if they play a song like Gus they get bashed for not sticking to a Hip staple song. Let them play whatever the hell they want. Who gives a rats ass if those people in Ottawa didn't like Gus? The Hip don't have to pander to them. They can play whichever song they please. My opinion is that they had a great performance and if it didn't convert fans, then nothing will. If someonen judges a band solely on two songs performed on a halftime show, they more than likely won't like the band anyway.

ALL HAIL THE HIP AND THE WRISTBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, in response to Billy, Gord's weight is of course a silly topic, but if I can't mention it in here, where the hell can I?? :lol:

And in my defence I have contributed to numerous *weighty* analysis of lyrics and whatnot. Why, I'll bet I posted the single longest analysis of NOIS in history a while back.

The 'why Gus' controversy seems silly to me. But then, how anybody can NOT like Gus eludes me, so what do I know?

[joshwayy]

The song selection was fine...2 great LIVE songs...Johnny really looked on top of it....his playiing impresses me more every time I see him. Robbie screwed up the Gus Solo however. I thought it was very good, better than most pop crap the superbowl has done, with the exception of the U2 performance a few years ago...I remember tearing up during that one. Gord D seems to be screaming a lot. I hope his voice isn't shot. Turn up the mic, so he doesn't feel like he has to scream. 8 of 10...for a impromptu 2 song concert.

[K-Town Lassie]

Is it possible that Gord seemed bulky because he had some t-shirts on under the button down?
