  Songs better suited on album than performed live...

I got to thinking about which songs are better studio songs than live songs. We all know that The Hip are a great live band, and they make most songs better when they play them live. However, there are some songs that I just think don't translate all that well in a live setting.

The Rules -- I love this song, but I think it's best as a studio recording. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if it was played live at a show I was attending, but the studio recording is just so perfect.

A Beautiful Thing - Sounds great on IVL. I heard a version on SOTD that was awful. Maybe Rob just had an off day or whatever. Anyway, I don't think the band can really match the studio version in a live setting.

Flamenco - Not much to say about this one. It's not terrible live, but it's just not a great live song.

Wheat Kings - The studio version just has such a great vibe .

Fiddler's Green - It was awesome to hear the song in Charlottetown, but the studio version is just so sombre and chilling.

Match-up #58 - The Last Of The Unplucked Gems Vs. Scared
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

  2009 Tour Spreadsheet

I've created a setlist stats spreadsheet. It basically shows what order songs were played it an each show, and calculates how many times a song has been played. That way it's easy to see how often a song has been played, how long since it was last played etc.

If anyone is interested I could periodically post it. But I have no idea how to do that? It's a Microsoft Works Spreadsheet file...

  Question about buying tickets pre-sale

Hey guys, I've been trying the past couple of months to get Hip tickets to the various shows, specifically the Massey Hall shows, Hamilton shows and the secret Danforth show a couple weeks back. Each time I've been on Ticketmaster right at 10 am with the password, and each time I've come up empty.

Now this Thursday tix go on sale for Hamilton, and I want to do everything I can to get tickets. If I manage to go through this summer missing out on all of these shows, something must be wrong with my karma.

So do you guys have any tips for getting the tix right when they go on sale? Do you keep checking back throughout the morning to see if tickets pop up?
