Seasons Greetings,
We'd like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and new year.
Thanks for making 2007 such a memorable year for us. Its been a blast having you along for the ride. As a thank you, on Monday, December 17th we will have a free download of a live soundboard recording available from our 2007 tour.
For those in the Kingston area, we have a special show announcement. We are honoured to be performing the inaugural concert at the Kingston Regional Sports and Entertainment Centre on Saturday, February 23rd. Proceeds from this show will benefit the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and Camp Trillium
Tickets for the show go onsale to the public on Friday, December 14th at 10:00am. For Registered Users of thehip.com, there is an exclusive presale starting on Wednesday, December 12th at 10:00am. Visit thehip.com for more details or to become a Registered User.
that's cool. im not pissed at the band or anything. i'm just too lazy to register with their website is all. especially for a 5 song live ep i probably won't listen to a whole lot. they need to release another full length live album

Exactly. Any live Hip is a good thing, even if it's just 5 songs.
"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 think at first read this sounds like a full show. I'm not pissed either, but I was really hoping for a full show. Meh, guess we can just hope for a live cd in the future again sometime.
Anybody going to the Kingston show in February? I heard it sold out within minutes. They haven't played their hometown since 2004, so no surprise there.

the day they went on sale, i pulled up a couple of 14th row tix, but i let them go because they came out to $80 each :eek:... i have no idea why that bothered me at the time, but it did.... i'm sure closer to the day, i'll start to regret it...

I agree $80 is a little steep, but a hometown show by the Hip is a pretty big deal around those parts, so I'm not surprised they're that expensive. Also don't forget the $10 in service charges slapped on by the kind folks at Ticketbastard.

"The Tragically Hip at the Harro East Ballroom, March 8. A rock band ripping on all cylinders in front of a beered-up crowd is an awesome sight. You're not a spectator, you're a participant. It's like feeling the engines at Daytona, as hands-on as dissecting your first worm in biology class. It's visceral."

Ah yes, the "evening with" tour. I saw them 3 times on that tour and it was amazing. Over the course of the tour I'm pretty sure they played just about every song in their catalogue (with the exception of the EP). Chris Brown and Kate Fenner were great additions to the band. Chris' keyboard playing on Gift Shop was especially cool, and Kate's vocal turns on songs like Yawning or Snarling and Flamenco were incredible. Good times!

That short little 2 1/2 minute clip proves beyond a doubt that Gord Downie is the best frontman in rock. No one else even comes close in my opinion.
"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."

Song of the day at thehip.com: "Escape is at Hand for the Travellin' Man" from Irving Plaza in NY. What a beautiful song.
"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."
Just rescuing the thread. It's pretty quiet in here when the boys aren't touring, but remember people, we'll most likely have a new Hip album in our hands before 2008 is up. In the meantime just hang in there and listen to plenty of Wintersleep.

even back then... their live show was like no other...
I kinda compare them to the Doors as far as improvisation ability... Gord and the band...
each gives to the other, until it builds and builds and builds into this explosion of emotion, energy and rock and roll...
pure genius, everyone on the same wavelength..
still can't figure how anyone survived in those massive swaying oceans of people in the crowds...
get a little claustrophobic (sp?) looking at them..
EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
... i bought a couple of CDs on the spot in St. Johns ... i just never really got in to it as much as i hoped ...
i think they have a good sound, but i don't get that "hooked" feeling that i was hoping for ...
The only two songs that consistently grab me, i'll probably get laughed at, but sue me for having excessive-POP-sensibility ...
Yer Not The Ocean
and
My Music At Work
Given that,
anyone got a recommendation that may make me more of a convert?
(BTW i'm consistently amazed at how long this thread sticks around, and how LONG it is. You Hip fans are BEYOND FANATICAL.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
did you get these on the hip tracker? i can't seem to login there anymore :(
