Gord has quietly amassed an outstanding body of solo work. I would be interested in seeing what people consider to represent the best of his solo tunes. I thought one way to do this would be to "create" a Gord Downie "Greatest Hits" album. I realize this is a complete misnomer since he really has only 4-5 total songs that have made their way on to radio, none of which lit the charts on fire. However, in the spirit of celebrating his work, it might be fun to do. He has 5 solo albums so the arbitrary ground rules would be a 15 song album containing what you consider to be the best 3 songs each from Coke Machine Glow, Battle of the Nudes, The Grand Bounce, The Conquering Sun, and Secret Path. Here's mine:

1. Chancellor
2. The Never-Ending Present
3. Yer Possessed

4. Steeplechase (recut with the last half of Who by Rote included and the hockey play-by-play and post-game interview dropped)
5. Christmastime in Toronto
6. Pascal's Submarine

7. The Drowning Machine
8. Yellow Days
9. Retrace

10. Budget Shoes
11. Crater
12. The Conquering Sun

13. The Stranger
14. Secret Path
15. Haunt Them, Haunt Them, Haunt Them

This was posted in the Secret Path thread, but I figured it should have a spot here as well.

Can someone point me towards a soundboard show that Chris and Kate played on?

Welcome to the very first volume of our very first edition of the Hipbase Bootleg Club!

Every two weeks a member of the Hipbase will post an audio recording to be featured in the Hipbase community. We will then all be required to rock the hell out of the selected audio day-in and day-out for a two week period (or ... also once).

Volume 01 runs from October 21st - November 3rd. Our very first selection has been made by kieffer!

And the show they selected is....


drumroll......

1996-10-06 - Burlington, Vermont
Memorial Auditorium


This show is freely available in the Hipbase Live Show Archive. The MP3s are in the 'Master-MP3 --> 1996' folder, lossless is in 'Master-Flac --> 1996'.



Here is what Hipbaser keiffer had to say about his selection:

Quote:Alright,

Happy to have been selected for the inaugural bootleg club. I decided to go with Burlington VT, 1996 - Oct - 06.

This is the second of two nights in Burlington, and the end of a US leg of the tour.

I stumbled upon this boot a few months ago while looking for shows recorded around the same time Live Between Us was captured. I blindly downloaded both Burlington shows without looking at their setlists. This show has since turned into one of my all time favourites and hopefully a great way to kick off this group.

"Tell your friends on the internet that hip chant sucks."

Gord's vocals sound great the entire show, the band is incredibly tight, and the recording is very clear.

Oh, and the setlist, WOW. It is heavy on tracks from TATHH - as this was the tour promoting that album. Beyond having some of my favourite deep cuts from that album (The Apartment Song, Let's Stay Engaged) it has Titanic Terrarium, Cordelia and Hiccups. There is some great stage banter from Gord, and hints of future songs. If that's not enough to entice you, there is also a 20 minute version of At the Hundredth Meridian mixed in the set as well.

Enjoy.

I'm excited to listen to this show! If you did not sign up to be part of the selection committee, you can still participate! please feel free to listen to the show, and join the discussion in this thread.

From the article:

"Live Nation admits for the first time that brokers and bots made millions, leaving many fans shut out...Berchtold estimates resellers made an estimated $25 to $30 million in markups on the Hip's tour."
"Ontario's attorney general announced yesterday the government will table legislation to outlaw ticket bots."

Seems to be some Amphitheatre Row A tickets available for $54 now

They're selling these at HMV now for $20. I picked one up on the weekend just for the hell of it.

Hi All,

I work for a television station in Canada, and just received a booking for a Universal Music/Tragically Hip CD Campaign that is to begin tomorrow and run until October 30th.

I would assume that this is actually for Secret Path, however these campaigns are usually booked quite specifically, so it is weird that the booking is coming in as "Tragically Hip".

I should get a chance to view the commercial Tuesday morning and will be able to see for myself. But in the meantime, thought I would see if anyone here has better intel.

Anyone know if there is something other than Secret Path hitting the stores over the next two weeks?

What were you doing today ten year's ago?

I woke up, went to class, and then left early to get World Container at the ol' HMV on Spring Garden Road in Halifax. Then I proceeded to procrastinate my work and rock the new Hip album all day long.

The boys rocked the Horseshoe in Toronto ten years ago today as well.

Happy World Container day, everyone!

Welcome everyone to the first edition of the Hippest (and also nerdiest) club I know. Every two weeks a member of the Hipbase will post an audio recording to be featured in the Hipbase community. We will then all be required to rock the hell out of the selected audio day-in and day-out for a two week period (or ... also once).

If your the one selecting the show, please feel free to the share why you wanted to pick the show. It can be because of the overall performance - or maybe it's a show you attended that you have memories attached too - or maybe it's a concert you used to have a copy of on cassette - 'epic' setlist - or anything else really.

After listening to the show, join the discussion! We will have an active discussion thread for each show.

Below is the schedule for the first edition. If you would like to join in the selections for the club, there will be open registration again near the end of the first edition. In the meantime, feel free to listen to the selection and join the discussion.
