I'm caving. I'm going to a show. Driving the 6+ hours each way. Missing work for 2 days. Sold a kidney for tickets.

Anyone else from the old crew? And by old crew I mean you?

When my review for The Packet & Times goes live, I'll post a link here. Coles Notes: decently tight despite some summer rust; great sounding room with some interesting characters; Fire In The Hole is still their best closer (or at least tied with On The Verge).

That's a killer back end of the show.

A couple of days late - sorry - but here's my review from Night One: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.orilliapacket.com/2015/09/17/the-tragically-hip-performs-first-of-three-gigs-at-casino-rama">http://www.orilliapacket.com/2015/09/17 ... asino-rama</a><!-- m -->

That's a killer back end of the show.

It really was. I've seen a decent amount of back-to-back shows at the same venue over the years. This is probably the first time that the first night didn't have the weakest setlist (arguably, that was Night Three). Night One ended so strong (even with Fireworks) and Night Two was without Poets, New O, Blow, ABAC, etc. Based on everything I've heard about the other two shows from folks who were there, all three gigs were remarkable. If you're going to see the band sometime in the next few weeks, you're in for a treat.
