    with ed's heartfelt tribute to gord at wrigley over the summer, and with gord's new project for aboriginal reconciliation, i wonder if ed or pj would cover a hip song and donate the proceeds to the cause. it's worthwhile, no doubt.

    that would be awesome if that came together. it was so very cool of ed to even mention gord on that special day. ed's such a class act. gotta wonder if they baked in seattle when they met. i'm betting yes...

    I would love PJ to cover a Hip tune...have often wondered which song it would be if they did. I think a cover of Scared would be great, or maybe a rocking version of Gift Shop. *Sigh* dare to dream.

    I keep listening to many of their unreleased tracks that sound like they got dubbed off a broken ghetto blaster in 1952 underwater. God I hope they release a rarities set.

    I have the 4 acoustic tracks they played at Planet Studios back during the Phatom Power cycle. I noticed today they are numbered tracks 2, 4,6, and 7. does anyone have all 7 tracks? are the in between tracks just interview segments? If so, I'd like to hear them. @demetrios ?

    would be extra cool if PJ let the Hip use footage of Ed talking about them in the doc.

    Looking forward to seeing it myself but will likely have to wait for a blu-ray release here in the US.  Really wish they would just release the final concert in full!

    Will it not be on Netflix in the US?

    Maybe one day they will, but some fine people out there in internet land intercepted the satellite feed of that show.  There's a giant 40 gig full on mega awesome HD quality copy of the show circling around the internet.    If they never release the Kingston show in its entirely, at least it's out there :)

    went to see LTR at the local theatre last night and it was so good.....excellent behind the scenes perspective on what Gord and the band themselves were going through last summer....gave me even more of an appreciation for the fact I was able to catch the Hamilton show and a beaming sense of pride for what they represent as a musical backdrop and lifeline to my Canadian heritage......Gord is one of the great poets of our generations and I am so grateful to have seen them live and have met them on a number of occassions.....the Hip's grace and humility and total respect for one another epitomizes the true meaning of a "family band"
