    "Locked" is my favorte Hip sing of all time,,
    the live version is simply explosive!
    but isn't your Gord quote an intro to Nautical disaster, not "Locked"..
    Just askin??

    yeah, it's nautical disaster. red said that she hadn't seen them play it live, despite the fact that she'd seen them 17 times or so. amazing eh? i was just replying that "locked in the trunk of a car" was like that for me for the first 8-9 times i saw them. i always wanted to see them play it, but they only got around to playing it the last time i saw them.

    ...thought i would throw that intro in there for red...seeing as they've played nautical disaster every time i've seen them...

    nice name on ya by the way...i wondered if that is what it alluded to. "locked..." is definitely one of my faves. :)

    Thanks.. keeping the same user name (Locked) is easy for me to go to remeber going from forum to forum ...but I can't tell you the number of Pearl Jam and DMB thread responders who ak me whether it means I'm posting "from Jail"???

    Yikes...!

    so "locked" for me "in the pit" becomes a code word for any other fanatical Hip fans to recognize...

    In fact "locked" is excatly how Gord Sinclair lists the song on setlists so I use it in the same manner..

    Peace ..and stay Hip!

    In a world without Pearl Jam, the mighty Hip are the greatest band ever.

    Anyone else a little frightened/excited that Bob Rock is producing the new album?

    And you wonder why I'm so upset I haven't seen it live. Ever since Live Between Us, it's the only reason I still go to Hip shows. Although I have heard Killer Whale Tank quite a few times, so I guess that's ok.

    yeah, a few years ago they did back to back nights in halifax. i was talking to him after a show at the club i work at (we were throwing a party for them...) and was begging him to put "locked" on the setlist for the next night, or at the very least "emperor penguin"...they didn't play locked, but they did play the penguin. i doubt i had much influence on that decision, but he did say he was the man to talk to if you had a request.

    Phanton Power is my favourite, that album is stacked if you take away the singles made into vidoes and played on the radio including:

    Thompson Girl
    Membership
    Vapour Trails
    Escape Is At Hand for The Travellin' Man
    Emperor Penguin

    and, even though overplayed on radio and Muchmusic, Poets is a great track as well as Bobcaygeon. Something On was ok too.

    Though my all-time fav Hip tune is Nautrical Disaster, and that live album is the shit.

    The Hip, just like Pearl Jam, can do no wrong. Everything they've released is fantastic! Impossible to chose a favorite album but if pressed then I'd say: Day for Night, Fully Completely, Trouble at the Henhouse and Phantom Power. Ah hell, they're all good.
    E agora? Faz xixi na mão e deita fora!

    The Hip are kinda like PJ in so many ways...:)

    Anyway...Fully Completely and Trouble At The Henhouse are my favourites.

    are you a fan of "flamenco"?...one of the best on henhouse i think...not many of my friends like it though...doesn't get enough credit as a great hip tune, in my opinion.

    Flamenco's awesome! I agree, it definitely is one of the gems in there, but moreover...one of the best Hip songs ever.

    Trouble At the Henhouse is very very underrated.

    YES! thank you mariposa! :) i'm not the only one...i love the lines..

    maybe i'll go to New York
    i'll drag you there
    you said "no one drags me anywhere"

    henhouse has so many good tunes - 700 ft. ceiling, sherpa, don't wake daddy, coconut cream..and of course gift shop and ahead by a century...definitely underrated as you said.

    my personal faves are "fully completely" and "phantom power". i thought "live between us" was great...because i like the live version of springtime in vienna so much better than the album version, and for gord's rheostatics lyrics during "nautical disaster". great live album, i thought, but i have yet to ceck out the new dvd.

    gord downie is one of the great canadian "poets", in my opinion. i met him on the day that johnny cash passed away and it was bitter sweet...always wanted to meet gord downie and talk to him, but we talked about johnny and it was quite somber...i found him the lyrics for "the man comes around" and he played it that night though, so i'll never forget that.

    I can't believe you met Gord...that's amazing. You are very lucky.

    And oh which reminds me...I haven't picked up their box set yet. I guess that's what tomorrow is for. :)

    It is so hard for me to pick a favorite Hip Album... for me they are all great... but Fully Completely will take the cake. My favorite track: Pigeon Camera. I also love Trouble at the Hen House and Road Apples. Day for Night is good. I have a soft spot for Highway Girl it is on their self titled album... it is to the hip as Leash is to Pearl Jam... THEY WON'T PLAY IT LIVE ANYMORE!!!!! I have seen them over 20+ times... I really stopped keeping track. Definitely one of my favorite Canadian Bands... Matt Good too... He is so underrated!!!
    Thanks harrison. Maybe you should take your beatbox down the street and eat some acid you silly pervert.

    i consider him one of the great canadian "poets" ( a little play on the song there...:) ) i've yet to check out the book of poetry he wrote, but reading his lyrics is enough to tell that he's certainly up there with the great lyricists of our time.

    edit: i forgot...i guess i already mentioned this...chalk it up to reinforcing my point :D

    I love their self titled album. "Evelyn" is such a killer track and yes "Highway Girl" too!

    yeah he did a solo show at the club i where i was bartending at the time. i went in early to set up the bar and check out his sound check. he walked up and held his hand out and said hi i'm gord (like he needed an introduction...:D )...we started talking about what a sad day it was, with johnny's passing and all...and he said that was actually the reason he wanted to talk to me...since i was the only one around at the time...he needed the lyrics to "the man comes around" so he could practice for the show that night, and was wondering if i could use the computer in the office to download them. i got them for him, and he opened with it...there were a lot of people crying. it was pretty moving.
