Unbelievable. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Aside from the Hip, I don't think I've ever seen a band as dynamic as these guys are. The new meterial sounded incredible and the older songs were played with so much energy and bite you'd think they were brand new. During the first of THREE encores they even pulled out "Letter from Bilbao" which I haven't heard live since 1993. It was amazing. The crowd was very rowdy and boisterous, but well behaved for the most part. Not sure if it sold out, but the place looked pretty full to me. Ron mentioned that they had a couple of rough nights in Edmonton and Saskatoon and the band seemed genuinely excited last night to be playing to a full room of hardcore Lowheads. Also, kudos to the soundman for providing them with the most pristine sound I've ever heard at that particular venue. You could hear every instrument perfectly, especially Ron's vocals which were nice and high in the mix. Thanks to the band for putting on such a great show, and special thanks to my buddy Dave in Ottawa who kindly asked his brother (Low bassist Dylan Parker) to put me on the guest list.

For those who have yet to discover this band, I recommend taking a trip to your local record store and checking them out. Or better yet, go see them live. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

i think some people believe he's a poor man's springsteen...i, on the other had, believe him to be an amazing writer/performer...i have most of his albums, but until recently had forgotten how much i enjoyed his music...his 2 cd greatest hits package just came out, and we were giving away copies at work..so i took one for the car, and song after song after song....brilliant..i'm watching his live show on A&E tonight(repeated i'm sure over the next few days), and the way he's redoing his material and making it sound fresh...wow...if you haven't before, i urge you to give this man the respect he deserves!!

not only that, he's instrumental in Farm-Aid

From the people who brought you the Naked Gun...

Moore to shoot sequel to 'Fahrenheit'

Thursday, November 11, 2004 Posted: 2:23 PM EST (1923 GMT) LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Michael Moore plans a follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," his hit documentary that assails President Bush over the handling of the September 11 attacks and the war on terrorism, according to a Hollywood trade paper.

Moore told Daily Variety that he and Harvey Weinstein, the Miramax boss who produced the film, hope to have "Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2" ready in two to three years.

"Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them," Moore was quoted in Thursday's edition of Variety. "They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now."

A spokesman for Fellowship Adventure Group, formed by Weinstein and brother Bob to help distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11," did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

"Fahrenheit 9/11," which won top honors at May's Cannes Film Festival, became the first documentary to top $100 million at the domestic box office. Moore, who won the documentary Academy Award for "Bowling for Columbine," is pushing "Fahrenheit 9/11" in the best-picture category for the upcoming Oscars.

The issues for the follow-up film will remain the same, Iraq and terrorism, Moore said.

"The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining: George W. Bush is prohibited by law from running again," Moore said.

Sitting here listening to the Glastonbury show from 1993, Inevitibility of Death, I start singing Silver Jet as Gord is ranting, but why???

As I listened closely...

He rants: "The machine was smoking, guess it didn't want to die. Our machine was smoking, guess he didn't want to die." He continues this "didn't want to die" rambling for a bit.

It sounds exactly, and I mean exactly like Silver Jet when it goes...

"your heart jumps to and my heart jumps too"

Same tone, same accentuation, everything!

If you have this show listen at about the 3:33 mark. Pretty cool!

Know I know that rants often lead to future songs. For example Mean Streak during Scared on the IVL tour, etc. But this surprised me because it was so far back.

What do you think? I know that the show is available on etree in flac.

i just want everyone to give me 1 song (preferably 1 that not everyone knows already)
Pick one song that you recommend someone to download.

Hey Everyone!

I am desperately seeking (and yes... I DID use the search feature...lol!) one of the white jerseys with the red maple leaf on the front. "The Tragically Hip" is within the leaf. They have them under the merch for hipclub members, but they are unavailable.

Does anyone have any idea where to get one of them?

Yeah, Id just like to know why the thread "U.S. Youth: Playing 'Halo 2' as Rome burns?" was locked...I honestly cant find any rationale behind doing that. Why was it locked exactly? A lengthy, interesting deabte was being carried out, no one was being belligerent or un called for in any way. A simple request for backing to a previous statement was made. Dont you think its a bit absurd do be doing something like that?

I dont mean to be rude or disrespectful in any way, but I have to comment. Your getting into risky business when you lock a thread simply because you either cant back up something you said, or just dont feel like it. I realize that moderators hold authority and should well act on something thats inapropriate or un-called for, but this is just absurd. Im just curious as to how you can justify locking that thread. Because it seems to me that that was done in sheer personal interest.

And I dont buy that it was 'way off topic' or 'getting silly'. Just about EVERY SINGLE THREAD in this forum veers off topic, and thats what makes it so interesting. There was nothing innapropriate being discussed. I fail to see anything that warrants a locking of this thread. A request was made to back up a statement. Certain actions/veiwpoints were called into question. Either back it up, express your view point differently to create better understanding, or dont respond.

Im not even partial to either argument, I just honestly dont see how this was done other than out of sheer personal interest.

Sorry, I had to comment.
