    Not to derail the thread, but I can't believe that fully completely is 30 years old. Damn I feel old. Wheat Kings would be a beauty for an encore Jeff-Ed combo song.

    Would love to see Jeff and the boys play Thugs, lots of room for Mike McCready to go nuts all over the top of that one.



    Of course, even The Hip barely played Thugs, so it's probably not on the short list!

    Usually when this topic rises, my reaction is nah, Ed and Gord sound too different, but...

    Just popped on Live at the Roxy. Brings back good memories of all those small venue shows in NYC rocking out hard with Ontarians visiting Gotham.

    Roxy show starts with a bang, Little Bones please! Ed can do a great job with that!

    Buck and a half!

    "Fiddler's Green" in a lower key would be *chef's kiss*

    How about 'Yer Not the Ocean' for all those CA cities along Lake Ontario   :smiley:

    Arkells covered "Poets" at their Kingston show back in April. Max is obviously a very different vocalist than Ed, but they did a really good job of it. I don't think the Hip's necessarily the easiest band to cover, but this song suited them perfectly. (Also, now that the Hip aren't touring, I've started seeing a lot of Arkells shows, which is a surprise, but there you have it! They rule.)

    I agree with the Poets idea. I think Ed would be able to pull that one off solidly.

    Ed could pull anything off. Just hope he can take the challenge and cover one of their songs this September.

    I disagree, actually. Their vocal registers and styles are quite different. Little Bones, for instance, I think would sound strange in Ed's voice. It would sound like a Vegas style crooner singing the Hip. 

    It gets so sticky down heeayayayayayaya....

    That being said, I'd be thrilled if they played literally ANYTHING by the Hip.
