:D

How many of you are attending this show Friday night? Should be amazing. Matt Mays, Sam and the Hip!! They all put on great live shows.

Hope to see some of you there! :) Guess it is a little late for a meet up. :o

    I'm going to both shows but primarily for the Hip and SR. Unfortunately, my wife is a Hedley fan and wants to go to that show as well. Somebody say a prayer for me, please!

    Well enjoy Friday night and well try to live through Sunday night. I think you will need LOTS of beer for Sunday night. :) Are you coming to PEI for the show or do you live here?

    I am going to the Matt/Sam/Hip show- but I think you know that Beck ;)

    Funky- I am sorry about your wife (LOL I mean that you have to go to Hedley...not that you have one!). Beck and I were at the Junos and they played....it was...well- it wasn't good. That singer is an odd little character. We concluded his movements were a cross between Mick Jagger and Peewee Herman ?

    I can't wait 'til Friday! Yippeeeee. Anyone else going?!

    hmm I not going but where is this?

    Sam Roberts Band is great :) I met the guys and they invited me and my 5yr old in for their soundcheck last time they were in town. Super nice guys and now our daughter has a crush on Sam :)

    She's not alone. I think every girl I know has a crush on Sam.
    "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'm going to be driving back and forth for both shows from Monkeytown. I did it last year too and it wasn't so bad. Previous to that we had camped for the shows but that has kind of fallen by the wayside. See you guys there!

    Where is all this taking place. I know Sam Roberts are playing north of Toronto this weekend, but what about the Hip? Are they only playing on Friday, or are they playing some Saturday or Sunday too?

    Where is all this fun taking place? ahhh the lovely Prince Edward Island of course. Canada day weekend equals the 'Festival of Lights'. Friday night should be an awesome time, except for the drunkass/punkass kids of course.

    I love Sam!

    That is SO flippin' awesome ... And its funny, because most people don't realize that the band stopped playing this song live ages ago. I told my buddy and he said "And? That's like Pearl Jam playing Jeremy, isn't it?" ...

    It was a blast. I think I still have some of that mud on my Doc's. Not sure what to wear footwear wise tonight just in case it is a repeat downpour.

    Stay Sunny!!!!!!!! :D:D

    small town beck must have been making the rounds yesterday because I ran into her too. What a small world! I must say that it was quite a kickass show despite all the assholes that were pushing toward the front. You couldn't help but love Gord when he said: "Hey wanna talk to you, and you, and you (pointing towards the back)...these people up front got here before you, AND THEY'RE BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU, you can't use brute force to get up front, it doesn't work that way on the island!"

    Here's the Hip's setlist:

    Blow At High Dough
    Oceans
    Music at Work
    It Can't Be Nashville Every Night
    Lake Fever
    Daredevil
    Lionized
    Sherpa
    Springtime in Vienna
    Gift Shop
    The Dire Wolf
    At the Hundredth Meridian
    Something On
    The Last of the Unplucked Gems
    Ahead by a Century
    Grace, Too
    Fire in the Hole

    Encore:
    The Lonely End of the Rink
    Bobcaygeon
    Poets

    Oh I am everywhere, FM ;)

    It was a pretty good show. I was astounded by the assholes in the crowd :( After the third person fell on top of me I decided that perhaps farther back might be better for me. It just got a little too ugly up there for me. I managed to hold my own but eventually I just tired of the the whole thing.

    Girl on a Ledge and I were standing farther back and I said "hey do you see a garbage can?" and her reply was rather dry, "no, but I see plenty of trash". :p LOL
    The first time I saw the Hip was GA on the Day for Night tour. The crowd was super into it and you couldn't actually move of your own accord but it was peaceful and people were respectful.

    I loved what Gord said. They are such an amazing band to watch. :)
