Volume 5 takes us to the Avalon in Los Angeles from 2004's 'In Between Evolution World Tour'. The show is a good representation of the band's sound from this era. It features several songs that have rarely surfaced since that tour, including Mean Streak and You're Everywhere. The show includes one of the few appearances of Twist My Arm from that year.

2. Grace, Too
3. Twist My Arm
4. It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken

13. As Makeshift As We Are
14. My Music At Work
15. Mean Streak

Quote:Live From The Vault - Volume 6
1996-08-17 - Cleveland, Ohio - The Odeon

Volume 6 finds the band on the south shores of Lake Erie at The Odeon in Cleveland on a summer's evening in 1996. This is LFTV's first release from the highly regarded Henhouse Tour. The show finds the band straddling the past, present and future. All five full length albums released 'up to here' are represented in the set list. Henhouse and DFN tracks are at their peak. And pieces of future songs like Poets and Escape Is At Hand find their way into a few of the jams.

Disc 1.
1. Springtime In Vienna
2. Fully Completely
3. Gift Shop
4. Grace, Too
5. Butts Wigglin
6. Opiated

The Hip's official youtube account has posted an entire show!

Looks and sounds fantastic too!

So I know this topic has come up in threads before, but I have honestly always wondered: if the people on this base are assumingly the "biggest" Hip fans out there, what do our album rankings look like collectively as a group?

I have to admit, I have been inspired by the amazing work on the tour stats, and since I am a stat loser at heart, I'd like to volunteer to compile the groups collective list. All you need to do is rank The Hip's major studio releases in the order of 1-11, with 1 being your favorite. I will then take the results and come up with an average ranking for each album to determine how the albums stack up amongst the base.

Feel free to say why you rank the albums where you do if you'd like, but it doesn't really matter to me, since we all have our own reasons for why certain albums appeal to us. I'm more concerned with seeing how the group as a whole looks at the Hip's catalouge.

I will let this sit for a week or two (or until interest seems to die) and then compile the results. I hope you all find this worth doing.

My list:

1-Phantom Power
2-World Container
3-Fully Completely
4-Road Apples
5-In Violet Light
6-Music @ Work
7-Day For Night
8-We Are The Same
9-Up To Here
10-In Between Evolution
11-Trouble At The Henhouse

Well, it's that time of year again, folks. Hard to believe another year has already gone by, and it's even harder to believe that the decade is almost over. I always look forward to reading everyone's lists at the end of the year, so take your time and have fun. I'll start us off:

My top 10 albums of 2009:

1. Heartless Bastards- The Mountain
I've probably listened to this album at least once a day since I bought it a month ago. A wicked concoction of classic hard-rock, blues, alt-country, garage-rock and Appalachian folk music. Almost like a female Robert Plant, Erika Wennerstrom's passionate wail and expressive lyrics sail atop a ferocious backbeat and grungy guitars cranked to 11. I can't get enough.

2. Pearl Jam- Backspacer
Their best album since "Yield", and one of the best rock albums I've heard over the last decade, period. Every song just explodes with energy, passion, and melody. This is arguably some of the best songwriting they've ever done, and the kick-you-in-the-nuts rhythm section of Jeff Ament and Matt Cameron has never sounded better. I freakin' LOVE this band.

3. Ron Hawkins- 10 Kinds of Lonely
One of Canada's most under-appreciated singer/songwriters pulls out all the stops once again and releases the best record of his career. It's an absolute crime that this guy isn't more well known. This is a stunning piece of work that deserves to be heard beyond the borders of Ontario and Buffalo. Sadly, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. I strongly encourage everybody here to check this album out, if you haven't already. You'll thank me later.

4. Joel Plaskett- Three
A ballsy move on Joel's part. A sprawling triple album full of great songs, killer melodies, and whip-smart lyrics. Self indulgent? You bet. But with this many brilliant songs, who gives a crap? I can't think of one single dud on this beautiful Canadian epic.

5. The Tragically Hip- We Are the Same
A 70s rock album for the modern era. Layers of keyboards, strings, background vocals, mandolin, trumpet, and an epic three-part 9 ½ minute song sequenced right smack dab in the middle of the album. From a songwriting standpoint, this album ranks right up there with their best material. Not many bands can make an album like this and actually pull it off. Kudos to the Hip for doing just that. For my money, these guys are still the best rock n' roll band on the planet, and I can't wait to hear what they have in store for us next.

6. Them Crooked Vultures- Self-Titled
What happens when you take Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and throw him together with Led Zep's John Paul Jones and the mighty Dave Grohl on drums? 66 minutes of delicious ass-kicking rock n' roll goodness, that's what.

7. Neko Case- Middle Cyclone
Another brilliant and moody collection from the always reliable Neko. Once again her songwriting is top notch, her lyrics are cool and quirky, and that gorgeous voice of hers just washes over you. It's hypnotic as hell.

8. Cuff the Duke- Way Down Here
One of Canada's finest young bands, these guys just keep getting better and more confident with each release. Wayne Petti's gorgeous songs, soulful croon, and heartfelt lyrics perfectly match the rustic live-off-the-floor nature of the production (courtesy of Greg Keelor). Long may they run!

9. Cracker- Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey
Great record! Best thing they've done since "The Golden Age", and featuring some of Dave Lowery's finest moments as a songwriter. Not to mention a healthy dose of Johnny Hickman's kick-ass guitar work. "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me" is easily one of my favorite songs of the year.

10. Tom Waits- Glitter & Doom Live
The next best thing to being there. The 2nd disc, "Tom Tales", is worth the price of admission alone. it's basically 35 minutes of brilliantly funny stage banter, odd stories, weird facts, and anecdotes taken from his 2008 tour. The 17-track live album on disc 1 is equally awesome of course, and gives us stunning versions of Waits classics like "I'll Shoot the Moon", "Get Behind the Mule", and "Dirt in the Ground", among others. This album is absolutely essential for any hardcore Waits fan.


My top 20 Albums of the decade (this was quite difficult):

1. The Weakerthans- Left & Leaving
2. The National- Boxer
3. Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
4. Drive-By Truckers- The Dirty South
5. Tom Waits- Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards
6. Sarah Harmer- You Were Here
7. Johnny Cash- American IV: The Man Comes Around
8. The Hold Steady- Boys & Girls in America
9. Neko Case- Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
10. The New Pornographers- Twin Cinema
11. Ryan Adams- Heartbreaker
12. Wintersleep- Welcome to the Night Sky
13. Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros- Streetcore
14. Warren Zevon- Life'll Kill Ya
15. Steve Earle- Transcendental Blues
16. Arcade Fire- Funeral
17. The Tragically Hip- Music@Work
18. Pearl Jam- Backspacer
19. Joel Plaskett- Three
20. Green Day- American Idiot

Follow the link to download the Gino (Freaked in Sweden) concert. There's a nice little write up and review of the show as well!

Was not aware, but I figured some of my fellow Rusties on this forum would like to know that Neil released Dreamin' Man Live '92, all acoustic version of songs from Harvest Moon performed live before the release of Harvest Moon. Should be good. On another more personal note, I was just updating my iTunes library last night, importing a bunch of CDs I haven't touched in a while and chose Prairie Wind as one of them. I may be in for another one of my annual Neil renaissance's. He's got way more talent than one man should ever have :roll: .

Hey Bob Rock,

As a long time Hip fan here in the good old USA, I feel the responcibilty of USA Hip fans to tell you to please go find another band to screw up and commercialize. Before you showed up the Hip put out music such as Day for Night, Henhouse, Fully Completely,etc. and now with you at the helm we get World Container and We are the same, with songs like "In View "and "Pretend" What is that? Whatever happened to epics like an inch an hour or pidgeon camera?
If I want pop music I'll listen to REM or U2. The Hip had a sound, and identifiable wall of resonance draped with PERFECT guitar weaving and base lines. Now we have "Honey, Please".

Can I ask you a question? Can you leave the Hip alone?

Stick to Metalica. I miss the old/real hip style.

I've been spreading a lot of Hip love on a Manic Street Preachers forum which I post on a lot recently: - It looks like I've even recruited some new fans. Also, someone posted this after I posted the photo of me and Gord:

Quote:Oh my god! He is gorgeous My new celebrity crush!

Has anyone else managed to get some Hip love going on other forums etc?
