"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."
I disagree. The Atlantic City setlist had New Orleans is Sinking, Little Bones, On the Verge, Pigeon Camera, Wheat Kings, Scared, and Grace, Too. Ya can't really dig too much farther back in the catalogue than that. Those songs are as old as dirt. You have to remember that these guys have 11 albums worth of material to draw from, and as with any band that's been around for 20 years, the newer material is probably a lot more fun to play.
as always, on the nose, direwolf.
it would be nice to hear "evelyn" one of these days though...;)
im just saying i havent listened to them for years....last i saw them was molson park back in the day...so im accustomed to those sets from way back....i wouldnt know many songs basically...
You ain't-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me
Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me
You...can't...bring...me...down!
My ranking (and this is tough, because I love 'em all):
1. Day for Night
2. Phantom Power
3. World Container
4. Trouble at the Henhouse
5. Road Apples
6. In Between Evolution
7. In Violet Light
8. Fully Completely
9. Music@Work
10. Up to Here
11. The Tragically Hip
*note*
Fully Completely would be ranked much higher if it weren't for producer Chris Tsangerides' lousy production. I know I've said this before, but Johnny's drums have that plastic-spork-hitting-mashed-potatoes sound that I absolutely despise. The songs (and Johnny) deserved so much more, and I wonder how much better it would've sounded if somebody like Brendan O'Brien or Adam Kasper had produced it. Even the band members themselves admit that it was their worst experience in the studio, which is too bad because in terms of songwriting, Fully is a perfect album. All 12 songs are incredible, and it's always a treat to hear them played live...the way they're SUPPOSED to sound.

yes it definately sounds better live....i was in shock when i saw it at 8....

your first 3 are the same as mine, only i might swap phantom power and day for night. i honestly just have 'yer favorites' to cover the rest... im missing a few great songs, but i think yer favorites did a damn good job of hitting all the essentials and i can never name offhand the songs i am missing that i REALLY loved...
also, the reasons you listed for not liking fully completely the album is why i never rank ten highly on my pj list. i cant stand the sound of that album anymore... the reverb is so annoying.

EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
Hey gang! Here's a short review of the Hip's recent show in the Cayman Islands on May 1st, taken from the Cayman Net News:
The eagerly anticipated Tragically Hip concert took place on Tuesday, 1 May in front of a huge crowd at Safehaven. The veteran Canadian rockers were in great form on the night and needed to be following two fantastic performances by opening acts Suckerbox and Smooth Bill Annie.
Thumping out many of their best-known tunes, the Hip played their first ever gig in Cayman to an appreciative audience, who sang along to every word.
The concert, held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Big Daddy’s Liquor Stores, was a great success, with everyone present clearly enjoying the show.
The evening kicked off with local band Suckerbox, who took the opportunity to play on a grand stage and ran with it. Their pop-punk offerings sounded better than ever, blasting out into the Cayman night and the additional space offered by the huge stage was more than filled by the band’s energy and antics.
Both the crowd and the band seemed to love every moment of the set, which set the standard for the rest of the evening’s entertainment.
Next up were another Cayman-based band, Smooth Bill Annie, who picked things up where Suckerbox left off and really rose to the challenge of playing on a big stage.
They kept the audience captivated with a set of original material, familiar to many on the Island. Songs like Blue Mountain Morning, regularly played on CayRock and now available on the band’s latest CD, sounded great at the Safehaven open air gig.
The locally-formed band, normally found playing bars and clubs on Island, proved they can deliver the goods on a big stage, making that transition seamlessly both in terms of sound and performance.
Both Cayman-based bands looked completely at home on the custom built stage and totally justified their selection in the line up for the biggest rock gig Cayman has seen in quite some time.
“That was a lot of fun,” said Smooth Bill Annie’s percussionist Eden Hurlston afterwards, summing up the sentiments of all the local musicians.
With a multitude of maple leaf flags held high above the crowd, the headline act stepped into the spotlight and delivered a set that had everyone jumping, Canadians and non-Canadians alike.
Lead singer Gordon Downie has a voice as unique as his onstage persona and is backed by a very tight group of accomplished musicians delivering a totally individual sound. Formed in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, the Tragically Hip have ten successful albums under their belt and, understandably after 24 years together, they really know how to put on a live show.
Having proved that Cayman is capable of putting on a concert of this scope and size, it is hoped other international acts will follow suit and come to perform on the Island.
