I do not ask for much but if the greatest American Band could do a little shout out to the Greatest Canadian band on Aug 20th - well it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

    Dude, this TH stuff is getting real played out on here. I sure as hell don't want to go see PJ and hear anything to do with the tragically hip. Judging by the responses you've gotten, or lack there of, no one else does either. If you really want to see one of their songs, maybe you should have gotten tickets to their show.

    Been to two shows thanks.

    Sorry to offend you. Take your meds and listen to some PJ.

    This would be really cool. Can't see it happening in a million years, but still would be amazing. :) It's Hip night all over Canada on the 20th after all. Nothing to do with PJ whatsoever, but I don't give a shit (sorry Gtilley8! ;) ) .... :lol: Hey, the Hip have a lot of fucking amazing songs - I don't see it beyond belief that PJ would cover them just because they think it's a great cover, like they do with most of their other covers. If a Hip song became a PJ cover staple, that would be sweet.
    Anyway, I know what I'll be doing on Aug 20th, and it won't be following the setlist for Wrigley! There are so many public and private viewing events for this last show. Not sure if I'm going to go to something like that, or just hang at home and enjoy.

    Eh, I never said anything bad about TH. I just think it's rude as hell to jump on a band's site and request that they play songs from other bands at their show. If I came off as too brash with that, I apologize.

    I dont believe Pearl Jam runs in the same circles as The Hip. I also don't believe EV's voice would translate well at all into Gord's. I don't think it would sound good at all. I try to imagine it and all I hear is disaster.

    It would be cool if PJ has heard the story and about Gord's illness and resilience to do a tour.... and mentioned a few nice words/thoughts.... but as a request/demand from fans, it is kind of lame.

    It is pretty likely most people in the crowd will have very little clue who The Tragically Hip is anyways.



    (and this is coming from someone who attended the The Hip show last night and cried).

    Anyone know what the best way to stream Saturday night's show here in the US will be?

    I guess no more requests for:

    RITFW
    I've Got A Feeling
    Better Things
    Devil Doll
    Love Reign
    Leavin' Here

    shall I go on?

    The difference there is that the band themselves started playing those, some of which have become staples. They have been co-opted, so to speak. And like MayDay said above..... There's not really a connection there. Do I know of TH? Sure, but only because I grew up listening to 89x - a Windsor/Detroit alt rock station that's been around since before the Seattle scene emerged.

    It's not like I asked for "All the Way" Just kidding Gtilley8! and congrats on the baby!

    Keep on Rockin.....

    I would love to see a Hip song or a shout out. But unless any of the band mates know each other I don't see it happening.
