I have Phantom Power, Live Between Us, and Fully Completely and absolutely love these albums. I have had them for about 8 months. However I know there is much more to the hip than studio albums. The live experience is where it is at I asume. Tell me about legendary shows, rare songs, and what to expect at a show. I'm a huge fan of Phish, Pearl Jam, and anything Neil Young has touched. Educate this newbie.
PS The reason I don't have IBE or any other Hip CDs is because this music lover buys too many CDs. I have promised myself I wont buy it until I get a job. As incentive. However I make frequent trips to the record store to listen to it. :oops:
I respect your community and come in peace and hope to share many good times with this band in the near future.

By the way...I'm a huge fan of Ralph Wiggum so don't get too down on me about spelling. It was on purpose! I swear! Insert embarrassed face here.

I know IBE is scruptulecent! I have listened to it about 2 times through at the record shop. I think the live feel of it is brilliant! (In my best Guinness commercial guy voice)

Always room for another Pearl jam fan here. :thumb:
Like some of the other members mentioned, download some random/live tracks. Much like alot of newer Pearl Jam stuff (Binaural, Riot Act), Hip tunes can take multiple listenings to get into.

Welcome to the forums, dude! :thumb:
I have learned more just reading thru these topics and posts than I had ever known about The Hip before. It's crazy. From song meanings to trivia to just plain "Hip-ology" (that's stupid, i'm sorry :? ) you'll find it all on here.
Not sure if ya know this or not, but above people are talking about Gord Downie's live rants. To spice up a song, out of boredom or maybe just plain insanity, he'll start rambling on stage or telling a story. You have Live Between Us, so ya proably already know....
There's quite a few of them and as far as I know, Gord may be the only singer who does this. I was actually kinda disappointed to not be able to find the lyrics to these on any sites, so I kinda took it upon myself to type them out. They are on my link below "A Dope Deal In The Middle Of A Cornfield" (So you can basically read "killerwhaletank" or " the double suicide monologue" before ya get around to downloading them)
Feel free to PM me if you got questions or problems or anything.
Anything for a fellow fan. :thumb:

Welcome to the wonderful world of Canada's Band.
BTW, direwolf, that SNL Blue Oyster Cult skit with Walken is unbelievable! J Fallon cracks up in the middle of it. More COWBELL BABY! MORE COWBELL!

Rambler, try this link (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.startcast.com/shows/10/A0124/">http://www.startcast.com/shows/10/A0124/</a><!-- m -->) to see the Hip in action at the Skydome last year. Despite Gord forgetting the words during It's a Good Life, it's a great show!

Hi there, I am also new to this board. Been reading, but not posting.
I have no hip live stuff either. I have all the studio albums and have seen them a couple times...but as for anything else....nothing.
So, I would love some help getting some cool, good quality stuff.
I know i can count on you all.
