  The Hip at 37000 feet!!!!!

There I was at 37000 feet...listening to the Hip!

Last week I was on an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Vancouver.
I am an Air Canada employee and was lucky to get a seat in business class.

This Boeing 767 does not have the upgraded interior so it has a large projection screen for the in flight movie.
The movie was Wild Hogs. Not a great movie and I had seen it a week earlier.

So I fell asleep somewhere near Winnipeg and woke up over Calgary.
As my eyes began to focus I noticed Gord Downie on the screen!
My first thought was that maybe it was an interview or a documentary. But then the screen changed to show the whole band and they were playing!!
I scrambled to get the head phones on and started rocking to Grace Too!

This is amazing!
Here comes the flight attendant...."Could I get a Sleman Cream Ale please". Nothing goes better than the Hip and beer!

It turned out to be a 5 (or more) song excert from the That Night in Toronto dvd. The songs were Grace Too, Courage, Bobcageon, Nautical Disaster and Litlle Bones...maybe more while I was sleeping.

I wanted to head to the back of the full plane to see how many others were rocking to the tunes but I didn't want to leave my seat!

What a great way to pass the time.....Listening to the Hip, drinking beer, and getting paid to do it!!!

Can't wait until next Wednesday night - The Hip and beer in Muskoka!!!

Cheers.


On a side note: The newer aircraft that we have come with a personal entertainment LCD screen in the seatback in front of you.
Until recently, World Container was in the music menu. It had been there for at least the last 4 or 5 months. Unfortunately, it has been removed.
Hopeully we will get it back so that others can enjoy the Hip and others might discover them for the first time!!

I can't believe I never gave my fellow Hipbasers this info..

when I met Bobby before the Boston Avalon show, I was pressing him for details of future bootleg releases from the Hip vault...(what a shock, huh?)

well we were talking about "best boots / best shows and he told me he thought their best performance / best bootleg was this show below
( wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.. and just found the slip in my pocket today)

anyone have the boot??

I know that most of us know the lyrics to most songs but once in a while I am listening to some songs on the computer and dont have the cd cover with the lyrics handy so I found this site and bookmarked it.
If anyone else finds themselves in the same boat this is a handy link to have on your favs.

There is jargon in there I do not understand, but I am sure you will be wearing a knowing smile, and possibly thinking 'Go on Mac, drown him in the tub...' :wink:

We were among two dozen people clogging up the bottom of Lombard Street for shots like this.

I also scored a really cool Hip @ The Filmore Poster from an amazing music store on Haight Street called Amoeba Music (Thanks for the recommendation Casey!)

This weeks "Albums that Matter" hour long segment on FM96 covers Fully Completly.

Quote:This week, on Albums That Matter, we're looking at Fully Completely, the anthemic disc put forth by The Tragically Hip. We'll look at the meanings behind some of their big singles, like Wheat Kings and 50 Mission Cap. More than this, we'll get behind the historical references that seem to cover this disc. It's Fully Completely, this week, on Albums That Matter.

I think its is also replayed next Sunday at 9pm as well for anyone interested.
