"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

Great setlist....... looks like it should be a kick ass show Friday!!!!
I imagine the sound in these club shows is fantastic?

So yea, there's quite a bit of Hip bashing going on over in the "For all Canadians" thread in the PJ section. It all started with somebody posing the question: which band is better- PJ or the Hip, and it just snowballed into one of those "my favorite band's dick is bigger than your favorite band's dick" threads. For me, music isn't a competition. I absolutely ADORE both bands, and I don't think one is better than the other. The Hip are obviously my favorite, but that doesn't mean they're a better band than PJ. They're just different. One idiot actually said the Hip haven't released anything good since the early days (including World Container) and says they should call it quits. Of course I fought the good fight and defended them as best I could, but it all fell on deaf ears. It blows my mind how ignorant some people are towards bands that evolve and change their style over the course of a long career. You'd think being PJ fans, they'd understand...but I guess not.
Oh well. I said my peace, so I'm done over there. I'm just gonna stay here from now on where it's warm and cozy and everybody likes each other. Not to mention all of you have great taste in music. I've really enjoyed chatting with you all and sharing our opinions on the new album and tour, etc... I hope this thread keeps going well into next year when the boys hit the road for their full-on world tour. I definitely expect a nice lengthy review from our good friend Locked when the Hip roll into Beantown in '07.
Long live the Hip (and Pearl Jam!)

...just giving you a thumbs up, direwolf. you're right on.
...and congrats on "dire wolf" being on the calgary setlist...pretty sweet!
He puts his pants on just like us, the only difference is, when he puts them on he makes gold records.....
"Gene, this time I really want you to explore the studio space. I mean it. Explore the space!"
Best SNL skit ever! Did you guys ever see the episode with Queens of the Stone Age when Will Ferrell came out on stage and played cowbell on "Little Sister"? That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. You could tell Josh Homme was trying really hard not to laugh as he sang the song. The band seemed kind of surprised by the whole thing.

Brian: "let me guess... Stone?"
Me: "nope! Mike - but you're close! I'm impressed"
Brian: "i used to be hip once..."
Me: "haha... really?" :rolleyes:
Brian: "yep... tragically...."

Keep your eyes open, eventually something will happen....
My favorite Hip song of all time, and the crowning achievement for the band as songwriters (so far). So much emotion, passion, and dread in that song. And is it just me, or does Robby's guitar sound like it's weeping during the outro? It doesn't really have a verse, it doesn't have a chorus, and there's no bridge. Essentially it's just a verse poem set to a circular bass line and guitar riff. Very simple, really. And yet it's such a powerful song and the imagery in the lyrics is so incredibly vivid, especially that final image of fingernails scratching on the hull of the ship. It's just so damn creepy. I think it's one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever written.

7/1/95 High Sierrra, California (a show so awesome that it should have been picked as their Live album in my opinion)
my favorite "Gord psycho quote" from that bootleg..
"I got this cousin , I got this cousin, he's a fuckin' skinhead...
but he's only doing it for the threads...
.. You wouldn't band a band from canada without a song about a nautical disaaster... this song is called nautical dis-aster"
LMAO!

Once again direwolf you've nailed it on the head. Nautical Disaster is easily the Hip's best song ever! I love that song for every reason you listed! I've seen them play it live many times but back in '96 in Spokane I saw them do it and it actually made me weep. I don't cry easily but the emotion was just so intense. Stunning. God I love that band!!!
"...they're turning this song into a movie
starring peter o'toole as the curmudgeonly lighthouse keeper,
and jodie foster in the role of susan
...it's called the nurse patient..."
I had this dream where I relished
The fray and the screaming that filled my head all day
It was as though I'd been spit there, settled in, into a pocket
Of a lighthouse off some rocky socket,
Off the coast of France, Dear
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
Five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in you blood
Now I was in lifeboat designed for ten and ten and only,
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated.
The selection was quick, the crew was picked and
those left in the water got kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home.
Then the dream ends when the phone rings
You doing alright he said it's out there,most days and nights
But only a fool would complain
Anyway Susan if you like our conversation is as faint as the sound in my memory
As those fingernails scratching on the hull

Before Saturday, the song "Fiddler's Green" hadn't been played in 15 years. But on a cold, snowy night in Calgary at MacEwan Hall on the U of C campus in October of 2006, the Hip decided to pull it out of the vault and gave their fans a treat that they would remember forever. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Fiddler's Green", live from Calgary:
As for merchandise, they've got some pretty cool stuff on this tour. The t-shirt I bought is black and features a drawing of the human heart from the inside sleeve of the World Container lyric booklet, with "The Tragically Hip" written over top of it in white. They also had some cool hoodies and a green army style t-shirt. I didn't see any posters, but they'll probably have some of those once the official tour starts up.

I was finally able to watch this clip at home (blocked at work)..
Gord is heavy with emotion (sadness) throughout this performance..
Brought me to tears..
Can anyone tell me the backstory about the boy who died..
I never thought I'd see this played live...ever!
This is monumental in Hip-story..
