    I stand corrected. Family Band is an amazing tune, but Are We Family would have been just as good. I love that song.

    Heard these guys for the first time today, my trainer was playing it in the gym while I pumped iron, I liked it, reminded me a lot of the Tres Hombres !!
    I lked the way the guitar played around the melody instead of trudging along underneath it.
    Music is not a competetion.

    World Container isn't being released in the U.S until March 6th, although you might be able to find it as an import at certain stores since you're fairly close to the border. Or you could always order it online from Amazon Canada for pretty cheap. Just choose priority shipping and you'll have it on your doorstep within a few days:

    http://www.amazon.ca/World-Container-Tragically-Hip/dp/B000IHYB9G/sr=1-1/qid=1169663570/ref=sr_1_1/702-8361716-4990425?ie=UTF8&s=music

    I also recommend picking up their last record "In Between Evolution". Great album! It was actually recorded in your neck of the woods by longtime Pearl Jam producer Adam Kasper. "In Violet Light" and "Music@Work" are also excellent albums. Have fun at the Seattle show, and don't be surprised if you spot Jeff Ament at the show. Apparently he's been a Hip fan since the early 90s.

    Hey! Very Cool... thanks for all the info! Ironically enough... I used to have a hard time getting PJ releases in Canada... now I'm south of the border and now it's The Hip :p

    I was going to swear off of iTunes for buying music... but I think I can get the new album on there so I'll download it today. Thanks for the nods to the other albums as well... I'll have to pick them up!

    My 'Gord Downie' story from way back in the winter of 1990... in a tiny bar called The Regent in Summerside PEI ... will remain one of my all time greatest :D I have my doubts that Gord will haul me up on stage at the Moore... but I'm sure we'll have a great time just the same :)

    Glad you enjoyed the show! Nice to see "Luv(sic)" back in the setlist again. They haven't really played that one since the club shows and it's one of my favorites off the new record. Here's an MP3 of "Train in Vain" from last night's show, courtesy of Chris at Hipbase. That might be the best cover tune I've ever heard them do. Enjoy!

    Setlist- Molson Centre, Barrie ON, 01/26/07:

    The Lonely End Of The Rink
    Courage
    Twist My Arm
    Lake Fever
    Drop Off
    It’s A Good Life If You Don’t Weaken
    In View
    Nautical Disaster
    Long Time Running
    Pigeon Camera
    Fireworks
    At The Hundredth Meridian
    Boots Or Hearts
    The Kids Don’t Get It
    Grace, Too
    Scared
    Yer Not The Ocean
    New Orleans Is Sinking
    Fire In The Hole

    Encore:
    The Weight (The Band) w/ Kathleen Edwards
    Family Band
    Little Bones

    Another fantastic setlist! Man, what I wouldn't give to hear their cover of "The Weight". That must have been somethin' else. Apparently Paul sang the 3rd verse by himself. I don't think I've ever heard him sing anything but backup vocals, so that must have been cool to hear.

    Highlights for me were Twist My Arm, Nautical Disaster, Long Time Running, Pigeon Camera, Hundreth Meridian, Kids Don't Get It, Grace Too, Scared, and The Weight.

    That was the first time I heard Paul (if that's his name) sing, and surprisingly enough he sang it very well. Hundreth Meridian was awesome. When I've seen his sing this song live in the past he sings the end very fast, but this time he mumbled as fast as he could and ended with an amazing high end scream! - hare to explain, but so good.

    Not sure what song it was but he was screaming, and he's like "what was that noise??..it's the sound of war.......yes WAAAAAR!" Then he threw up the microphone stand and dropped it like bombs falling from the air. Very entertaining to watch.

    It's been years since I've seen the Hip, but is Gord that crazy every night?. He's something to watch. Not sure where he gets his ideas from, or the energy for that matter.

    I like this one...

    What is the smallest audience The Hip have played to?
    Believe it or not, the smallest audience The Hip have played to was 5 at Jakes' in Bloomington, Indiana in 1989. The Hip says that 0 attendance has been recorded prior to 1989.

    Ladies and gentlemen, here it is. "The Weight" from Jan. 26th in Barrie. And yes, that's definitely Paul singing the 3rd verse. Brilliant!
