Yeah, if it's behind the stage seats, then it would be getting rid of the backdrop ( I am assuming, since last year the backdrop completely hid the seats behind the stage. It was a full-on video screen.... which looked cool, and I'm a bit disappointed that they won't have that anymore. They mixed their visuals with the music really well).HughFreakingDillon said:
not for the winnipeg show there weren't. I didn't understand why they weren't selling them to begin with. they had to have known this was going to be a massive demand tour.PJ_Soul said:Just got an email from the band saying:
"Due to an overwhelming demand for the Man Machine Poem tour, we have adjusted the show design to accommodate more seating. Tickets for the newly released seats will go on sale on Tuesday, June 14 @ 10am local time. There is a 2 ticket limit per person."
So that's nice. I already have a ticket, but am now very curious about where these extra seats will be. How did they adjust the show design to make more room I wonder?? At first I thought, 'did they add a GA pit?!?!' ..... But if they did that, the people with all the best seats at the front of the floor would be fucked, or forced into a pit, which some of them might not be able to do. There were seats behind the stage the whole time, weren't there?
i wonder if now this show will be "in the round", or if they are just now selling behind the stage. if it s just opening up the seating behind the stage, why say "we have adjusted the show design", unless maybe they had a backdrop and they will no longer be using it.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
imo the hip doesn't need visuals. especially for this tour. this tour should be about the songs, those melodies and especially the lyrics. gord is one of the best lyricists ever. glad they opened up behind the stage and limited it to 2 per person. i got tickets for 1 show behind the stage in the sale yesterday. i'm honestly just happy to be in the building. gonna hit 4 shows total this tour. the show won't be in the round as floor seats have already been sold and it would be a total clusterF to rearrange the floor seating and issue new tickets with new seats #'s and sections. once again the hip did it right. bravo to them0

agreed. I'm glad for the people who got floor seats didn't get rearranged to in the round. that would have pissed me off for sure.helplessdancer said:imo the hip doesn't need visuals. especially for this tour. this tour should be about the songs, those melodies and especially the lyrics. gord is one of the best lyricists ever. glad they opened up behind the stage and limited it to 2 per person. i got tickets for 1 show behind the stage in the sale yesterday. i'm honestly just happy to be in the building. gonna hit 4 shows total this tour. the show won't be in the round as floor seats have already been sold and it would be a total clusterF to rearrange the floor seating and issue new tickets with new seats #'s and sections. once again the hip did it right. bravo to them

They didn't depend on the visuals, which don't take away from the music at all. So if I can enjoy the music just as much, why not also add cool cinematic art to the mix? They always had a very artistic approach to that backdrop, and there is definitely nothing wrong with that. I am not bemoaning that it won't be there, but it was definitely still a feature that was enjoyable and added to the overall performances in an artistic sense.helplessdancer said:imo the hip doesn't need visuals. especially for this tour. this tour should be about the songs, those melodies and especially the lyrics. gord is one of the best lyricists ever. glad they opened up behind the stage and limited it to 2 per person. i got tickets for 1 show behind the stage in the sale yesterday. i'm honestly just happy to be in the building. gonna hit 4 shows total this tour. the show won't be in the round as floor seats have already been sold and it would be a total clusterF to rearrange the floor seating and issue new tickets with new seats #'s and sections. once again the hip did it right. bravo to them

It was announced today that their final show on August 20th will be broadcast commercial-free on CBC, starting at 8:30. Thanks to the band for allowing this to be done."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

I'll likely be watching via the over-the-air broadcast, get decent enough reception of cbc via the antenna, so that could be another option, depending on people's local stations.HughFreakingDillon said:

anyone get the new album yet? I am going to try to get out to pick it up tonight.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

I'm still just absorbing it on Spotify (trying to do that at work, so I've had too many distractions so far to really take it in). Need to give it a few more listens to decide if I love it enough to have it on vinyl.HughFreakingDillon said:anyone get the new album yet? I am going to try to get out to pick it up tonight.

Listened to the new disc last night. Some really cool stuff and I have a feeling this disc might need a couple of listens to fully absorb it all. Excited to listen again today.0

agreed. I told my wife I listened to it, and I just said one word: "weird". not in a bad way though.May 30th said:Listened to the new disc last night. Some really cool stuff and I have a feeling this disc might need a couple of listens to fully absorb it all. Excited to listen again today.

My feelings exactly when I listened to it the other night. Played it through 3 straight times and it really has grown on me.HughFreakingDillon said:
