I have no doubts about it...with regard to their entire career, collectively, the Hip are my favourite artists. Bob Dylan is 2nd, but only because he has so many spotty albums, and I listen to at least one Hip album or show a day...and as much as I love albums by my other favourite artists - Mark Knopfler, R.E.M., John Hiatt, Blue Rodeo, etc...I cannot say that, taken as a whole, anyone else's album catalogue or live show BEATS the Hip. The Hip are honestly, absolutely, positively my favourite band.

This is NOT - repeat, NOT - a judgment on anyone who does not feel this way. I am genuinely curious to know how many people in here rate the Hip as their favourite band of all.

I think my pick would be they're first Maple Leaf Garden Show.
What do ya'll think ?

Anybody heard this album yet? I picked it up this morning and I can't stop listening to it. If you're a Waits fan, you'll love it. It's a freakin' masterpiece. Definitely some of the wildest music I've heard since...well...his last album. Most of the percussion on the album is provided by Waits' own voice barking and grunting into the microphone, and then looped over the track to make it sound like a drum kit. It's great stuff! And don't even get me started on how unique and brilliant his lyrics are. Tom's songs have always been a little odd and full of mystery, with bizarre stories, characters, places and situations, and once again he doesn't disappoint.

Overall I give it 5 out of 5 and a big thumbs up! :thumb:

Anyone what time the Hip have been doing their soundchecks - is it always around the same time? I'm already in Myrtle Beach, might head down to the HOB in the afternoon (if I'm done golfing that is ). Can't wait for tomorrow, this will be my smallest Hip show by 20,000 people or so! :thumb:

I long ago lost track of how many Hip shows I've been to and also can't remember them all. Is there some kind of Tour database thats just a listing of every date they ever played ? I tried to piece one together with the setlist base and the bootleg lists to no avail....

I was at the Rochester show.... too excited to remember my camera.

Desperately seeking pics from the show, and any audio (only stipulation is that I cannot download anything right now as my computer is on the fritz...) Anything burned or copied already?

Desperately seeking..... can provide the dinero if needed!

Cheers!
