Been a fan since '89, so I know all about their awesomeness. Was at the Montreal show a few days ago. Great, as usual...

[rosie]

I was at that show. I had free tickets, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Great seat as well. The performance was good, but the security was fucking terrible. I almost slapped this one guy who manhandled me because I was in the wrong seat. Christ.

 

Whereabouts were you seated?

[Devil On Rollerskates]

I was in section 13 row k seat 7. Near the back right corner facing the stage.

the hip are by far canada's best live band. i saw them on the "in violet light" tour

[Broken]

LONG TIME RUNNING! OH MAN I LOVE THAT SONG!

 

One of the most under-rated Hip songs of all time.

Agreed. It's a great song.

The hip are among one of the best live shows in Canada.

i saw them in Sudbury Ont., this summer, and at edgefest last summer. I say they are one of the best live, but after an our lady peace concert (edgefest) anything else is great.

i scrubbed the inside of the killerwhaletank! lol i love that whole bit

The Hip are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. As good as AC/DC, and Better than the Stones. At least, better than they were in toronto. Gordie is absolutely captivating. He's gotta be in his 40's, he looks it, but he's still energetic and givin'er every night.

I think if you check the site, and look at the Halifax setlist, you'll agree that we got mad lucky. They played everything I had hoped for, including Boots or Hearts, Locked in the Trunk of a Car, and Nautical Disaster. Give it a look, it was Awesome.

 

edit- ha, did not even notice that the posting above is exactly what I was talking about.
