Wow, it's really quiet in here. Am I the only one still posting in this thread?? Today's song of the day at thehip.com: Boots or Hearts from the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, '04.
Still no word on a release date for the new album, and I'm getting impatient!

sorry, I was busy dusting off my hip cassette boots...and threading them into a reel to reel player while I light a candle in front of my vigil alter for the menry of St. Rory Young...(aka wphipfan.com)

EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
I saw them live in September, and to be honest, I really like the Hip's studio shit.. but I wasn't impressed with their performance.
Blasphemy! I've seen them live 23 times over the years (yes, I'm obsessed), and they've never failed to kick my ass.

aww i was hoping for a maritime gig, but anyways...

WOW
Nothing surprising there. I paid the same amount to see them in Spokane in '04.

I haven't been here forever....and I'm not really surprised this thread is alive though! Awesome guys! I am really dying out for album news...I hope it's soon.
Well it looks like Ontarians got another Hip gig...it's going to be in Guelph!

This must be the longest running thread in the history of the Message Pit. Threads come and go so quickly around here, I'm glad this one continues to have life. As you all have noticed, the tour dates have started to pour in, and I assume as we get closer to the release of the new album, a full tour will be announced. Judging by past tours, here's what I predict their schedule will look like once it's all out there:
May/June- Canada/U.S.A.
July- Europe
August/Sept/Oct- U.S.A. (including the wonderful city of Boston for our good friend Locked)
Nov/Dec- Canadian winter tour
Now all we need is some news on the album, and my summer will be complete! You know it's gonna be a good year for new music when both the Hip and Pearl Jam release new albums and tour in the same year. What a beautiful world we live in! Speaking of touring, anybody here going to the Sasquatch Festival at the Gorge during May long weekend? I've already got my tickets. Some friends and I are driving down from Calgary for the Saturday show:
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, The Tragically Hip, Neko Case, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Gomez, Rogue Wave
Sam Roberts, Constantines, Architecture In Helsinki, Bedouin Soundclash, Band of Horses, Matt Costa, Tim Seely, Korby Lenker, Common Market, Slender Means, David Ford, more artists to be announced.
Should be a great day of music!

anyone hear any rumours or have any thoughts about possible live bootleg downloads for the 2006 tour?
(I'm suggesting every show liike Pearl Jam does...),
I'm thinking with all this new website / fanclub roll out..
they MUST be getting ready for some expanded download access..
Thoughts / advice fellow Hipsters??
Their webmaster says they'll be doing some pretty cool stuff once the new fanclub is rolled out, but he hasn't told us what those things are going to be yet. I think he just wants to surprise us. During the '04 tour they released 3 shows for download, which you can get here:
I wouldn't be surprised if they do more of the same for the '06 tour, but on a larger scale. Maybe not on the scale that PJ does, but something similar.

great tune, heard it live on that same tour few months down the road in Saint John
"walk like a matador, dont be chicken-shit..."
I love that line. My other favorite is:
"Maybe a prostitute could teach you how to take a compliment."

Song of the day: "Last of the Unplucked Gems" from the Metro Centre, Halifax, '95. One of those rare tunes that will hopefully make it back into the set for the '06 tour. I miss this song!
