I was about to say.. fool me once, I'll wait until they release the live vinyl on it's own.... but the DVD. That documentary of the another roadside attract tour.... that hits in me in all the nostalgia feels. A bunch of that documentary is from the Victoria stop, which was the first time I ever saw the hip live (and the only time I remember there being a concert at Western Speedway). Might have to buy it for that.
the cd version of the deluxe set comes with that same dvd.

I’m buying it. Loved the Road Apples boxset. Not worried all the albums were sold individually to folks who perhaps could not afford the entire boxset and only wanted the live album, etc. Really looking forward to the FC boxset.
What I really am excited for in the future is the Day For Night boxset. 😎😎
Was caught in the YouRube vortex of Americans reacting to Hip videos/performances over the holidays. The reactors generally compare the Hip to REM. There is no doubt the Hip were influenced by REM and Midnight Oil among others. I personally believe REM heard Day for Night and were influenced by that album, as New Adventures in HiFi has a similar feel in my opinion. When the NAHF vinyl release came out it struck me how Hip like it was.
The other thing I observed was how many Baker outro solos exist on their songs. Perhaps I just never noticed before but it appears it was something they liked doing. I’ve always enjoyed a fade out solo to end a song.
Waiting to see if the EP shows up on Amazon so I can saved on the $20 shipping from buying it directly.
Wouldn't you rather just buy the whole album? Or you'd want both? All of the EP songs will be on the album, so I'm not going to bother with the EP. No Lustre Parfait vinyl on Amazon yet either though!

I think when I wrote that I had misread the announcement email... I thought it was an EP not an LP. Yes, I want the LP on vinyl, and I'm hoping it turns up on amazon or the regular record store so I can save $20 on shipping.
I’ll buy anything that had an unreleased Hip vault show - and the 1998 tour to boot ! (Pun intended) my user name here is from my love of the Hip! yet I’m from Boston - never been to Canada yet!

new song out today: Mystery. I have listened a few times, and I find this a really odd choice for second promotional single for the upcoming box set. It's a deep cut at best. Maybe even a "secret song" at worst. It's just spoken word with atmospheric background music over a slow acoustic melody.

I agree, unfortunately..... I thought the Saskadelphia release was quite good. Unnecessary, Montreal, etc. A number of people are quick to jump on 10C prices, the Hip's store prices are too high. Damn The Hip's catalog is so good.
Escape at Hand for the Travellin' Man is noticeably sped on the Metropol track.
40 years of the Hip this year. they said in the latest newsletter that new music is coming this year. awesome. wonder if it's the follow up to MMP that was half or nearly finished?

Just found out the band will be using some of the footage I shot showing the exterior of the Somerville Theater in Massachusetts on July 27, 2002 when the band performed there. It will be featured in the upcoming four part documentary on Amazon this fall titled :

excerpt from Article below :
Few people have had a better front-row view of the Tragically Hip‘s rock ‘n’ roll journey than Mike Downie. But as he set out to make the “definitive documentary” on the band, the brother of late frontman Gord Downie says he found that even he didn’t have the full story.
The filmmaker will direct a documentary series chronicling the Hip’s ascent from high school band to Canadian musical icons. The untitled project was announced Wednesday as part of Amazon Prime Video’s slate of original Canadian productions.
The four-part series is set to be released in fall 2024 to mark the 40th anniversary of the band’s formation in Kingston, Ont., Mike Downie said.
As he prepares for production to start after a year in development, Downie said he’s already been surprised by how much he had to learn about the Hip despite being at the band’s side since its inception.
“You think you know a story, but you’ve known it passively in a way,” he said in a video interview from Toronto. “And yet, it’s interesting when you start to scratch the surface a little deeper how much more information there is.”
The documentarian has turned his lens on the Hip before in the 1993 concert tour film Heksenketel and in 2018’s Find the Secret Path, which followed Gord Downie’s efforts to bring attention to the dark history of Canada’s residential schools the year before he died of brain cancer in 2017.
When the Hip’s longtime manager, Jake Gold, approached him about making the “definitive documentary” on the band, Mike Downie said he didn’t hesitate to say yes.
As a member of the band’s “big family,” he didn’t have much trouble bringing key players on board. He said he’s already uncovered revelations about the Hip’s origins through pre-interviews with members of the band and its progenitors.
He’s been building up the band’s archives to find never-before-seen videos, recordings and photos that are set to be featured in the series, even enlisting the help of two Hip-obsessed “rock ‘n’ roll detectives” to hunt down new material.
The research process has at times been emotional, Downie said. He and his younger brother have been going through Gord Downie’s journals dating back to the early 1980s, and in some entries, you can feel his presence on the page.
“When I’m reading those, and some of what he’s writing down in this stream of consciousness, he seems very close, very close.”
The documentary will feature interviews with a number of prominent Hip fans (he wouldn’t name names) to help unpack why so many Canadians saw themselves in a Kingston-based alt-rock band, he added.
He sees the Hip’s arc as part of a broader Canadian story — one that starts with bright hopes of something better, but through triumph and tragedy, lands in a place that’s darker but more true.
“I am interested in charting that development over the life of the band, and the trajectory of a country,” he said
