    The first time I heard "Rink" was live at the Sasquatch Festival a few months before the album was released. I was instantly blown away. The album version is good, but as with most of the Hip's material, it's much more powerful in a live setting.

    Cordelia hasn't made an appearance yet, but anything can happen. I didn't think we'd ever hear Fiddler's Green again, and they've now played that one at least three or four times. You never know what Gord Sinclair has up his sleeve.

    Good question. I am glad someone asked that. The answer is no, the tragically hip have forgotten how to play it. Next question, so someone can repeat it ironically.

    I'm here! I've been crazy busy, so I haven't been posting as much lately. You must be getting excited for the gig at the Avalon. If I was still living in Ottawa, I'd definitely be driving down there to join you. I have many fond memories of the Somerville Theatre triple-header back in '02. Good times! I just noticed that The Constantines are opening that show. Make sure you get there early and check those guys out. I think you'll like 'em. Great band.

    I know nothing about the Tragically Hip, but I want to get into them. So can someone please recommend me what to start with? I know I probably should just look back in the other pages but I don't have time to do that right now. Thanks.

    Welcome! I usually recommend starting with their 2-disc greatest hits collection "Yer Favourites". That'll give you a good indication of what they sound like and how their music has evolved over the years. Once you've absorbed that, you'll probably want to start getting into the studio albums (of which they have 11). The following albums are widely considered to be their best:

    Day for Night
    Phantom Power
    Fully Completely
    Road Apples
    Trouble at the Henhouse
    World Container

    Happy listening!

    Hey guys 'n gals..

    I think the Hip are good luck for me. Remember when I first startted posting in this thread I had won tickets to the Hip on the Hour? Well, you're not gonna believe this, but I won front row tickets to The Hip/The Who in Chicago tomorrow night as well! I got a call Thursday evening from thewhotour.com informing me that I am the Chicago front row contest winner. I don't know what seats I will have in the front row, but I have never been in the front for an assigned seating show in my life, so I don't guess it really matters much which seats are mine. The only thing I regret is that I still have not seen a full on Hip show. The only other time I saw them was for New Years Eve this year at House of Blues in Chicago. It was great, but still, shorter than their normal shows. As a result of them doing NYE and The Who show, it seems they are not going to headline one of their own shows here. Hopefully they will come back and give us a full show in the near future.

    Send some vibes out tomorrow night for Fiddler's Green, Long Time Running and 38 Years Old. I really really wanna hear these three songs!

    Peace

    I love the Hip, and normally I'd step over my own mother to see them live, but $79.50?? Yikes. That's way too steep for me, especially for a show at the Saddledome. I think I'll wait until they announce the 2nd leg of the U.S. tour and go see 'em for $25 in Spokane.

    Just a quickie.. I just got home. I really had a great time tonight @ Sears Centre. I wish, of course, that The Hip played a longer set, but Johnny Fay handed me his drumsticks! I'm sure it was because I was the only person standing for their set. Such disrespect from us ugly Americans. =( Oh well, hell with the others, I got the sticks! Thank you Johnny! I made a sign for Fiddler's Green, but no go.

    THEN! To come here and see they added a show at the HOB. What a fantastic day! I'll be there with bells on May 11th! I'll make another Fiddler's Green sign. =)

    Oh. The Who rocked the fuck outta the house, too! *laugh* I held up a sign (the opposite side of my Hip sign) thanking them for the tickets.. Roger acknowledged me with a nod and a smile. He has a very contagious smile, and one hell of a voice! They still got it. I gotta run through my pictures as soon as I get my wind back. Getting old sucks. I wish I could do it as gracefully as Pete and Roger. =P

    PEACE!
