Hey all! I made it to the show! And what a show it was. The short Detroit show was certainly made up for last night as they played longer than they were supposed to. I'm not a great concert reviewer (Hugh "EXCELLENT!!" will help me out no doubt when he comes rolling back into town :thumb: ). The venue was amazing - House of Blues is a really good place to see a band. But again poor turnout - I would guess maybe 200 people attended. SO, ok, Gord was in his levis, white shirt and a white sweater-kinda thing and his white cowboyish-type hat. HE looked :thumb: to me *sigh*. I had a very good view as I was front row right about 8 seats over, right in front of Dale who gave another stellar performance. He returned my smile after the first song :thumb: . Before starting into Yer Obsessed Gord told the audience that the tune was about an argument that took place several years ago in Boston - an argument that is still not resolved, and he said the song didn't help (ya, no guff) and then added there were a lot of "fuck yous" said (teehee - I love hearing the stories behind the songs). The setlist was similar to others for the most part. The highlight of the show for me was Canada Geese - they fucking rawked the roof off the joint 8) - and by end Gord and Dale were raining sweat. It was SO sweet :mrgreen: I briefly considered trying to get some Gordie sweat to bottle and keep as a souvenir (just kidding :wink: !). Steeplechase was another particularly well done song of the night. They all had their funky sound effect instruments for the intro and it sounded really cool! Well Done :thumb: Near the end Gord started playing a song that he couldn't remember the words to (it looked like he was mouthing "FIVE" or something that rhymed with "five" to Dale...I dunno know) - and ended up abandoning it. That's when I think Gord said they were already going over (running late -after the encore). They played one more song and then they played Chancellor. I love Chancellor so it made my night that they played it. They played one or two more and that was it - the House of Blues had to shut them down but Gord wanted to keep playing (was that beer and whiskey he was drinking?). Near the end of the show a few of us were standing up and then when the show ended we went up to the stage and leaned over to try and get a handshake from Gord. He got all the guys to my left and missed me . I was bummed, but then he came back and shook my hand last before he left the stage *sigh* :thumb: I totally dig him *sigh* :mrgreen: So like IS he or ISN'T he married!?! cratch:
:wink:
Ok, so back to reality now. I'm so glad Joe and I went!
Hugh and gang, hope you all made it back safely. I can't wait to see your pictures! I wanna hear more about the gifts you gave the band too so make sure you post the details.
You guys should come over for beer sometime!

How about a Online petition to get the Hip to make a DVD?

I mean they have so many videos to put on it and I could just imagine the archival footage someone must have of them, and the i an i's they have been on.

Would be one hella of a Hip DVD!

Does this mean that they are forsure not going to be at the Stones concert? I'm still keeping faith!

A little off topic but trading nonetheless....anybody have any PJ official boots from the tour they'd like to copy and trade? I've got a few good ones...thanks all.... 8)

I just thought I'd introduce myself since I'm new to this forum.

I came here in search of a new discussion group since apparently the Henhouse is history, which is a bummer. I was on the henhouse since January of 1998, and it was the only discussion group I've ever been actively involved in. Made lots of friends there - I hope they all wind up over here, because this looks like a great forum.

Anyway, I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the hip fan-per-square mile ratio is .00000001:1. The Hip have played in this state exactly three times, and only once have they headlined a public show. They opened for Page and Plant here in fall '95 and had a private party for the Canadian Olympic team during the 2002 Games which I was fortunate enough to attend (on the campus of my university, no less!)

Oddly enough, GD is playing here in SLC next month. Tix are only 15 bucks, and the venue holds 250 max. It should be a nice inimate evening. Anyone coming from out of town has a place to crash. I always wanted to say that at the henhouse, but the whole time I was there, TTH never came here (except for the olympic show which was invite only).

anyhow, I love the Hip and have around 75 shows. I don't really trade because I'm a bit too busy but I'm glad to get involved here at the hipbase. I also love DMB (seeing them here in 4 days!) and Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds. I've been a big Rush/Floyd guy my whole life, and I am also way into Tool, among many other bands. I look forward to Gord's show here in SLC and maybe having a chance to chat with him and his bandmates.

Thanks,
Josh
