At least you got to see the hip. My wife and I went to watch the Hip =
when they opened up for Page and Plant in Minneapolis. The Hip didn't =
show because the birth in the family of one of the band members. There =
was no announcement, just a change of artist. (Instead we got a solo =
male accompanying himself with a synthesizer/keyboard.) We had a long =
drive home and didn't even stay for Page and Plant, we were so upset. =
Probably not a really smart move... We are awaiting another hip album of =
the fully completely caliber.

Hi Curtis,
I've seen them three times, all on the ARA tours '93, '95 & '97. All =
times I=20
thought they were awesome.
But I guess it shows that I'm not a huge fan, as I've never paid to =
see them=20
when it's just them on the bill - but I do this for very few larger =
bands,=20
more cause of my thin bankroll than anything else (Wilco a couple =
months=20
back & R.E.M. this Sept will be rare $20+ concert indulgences.)
I never heard anyone before tell me of Gord doing the same rants over =
and=20
over again, but probably cause people who follow them are slavish fans =
(&=20
they did used to have a lot of these). They seem to have stalled =
musically,=20
or maybe more properly gone backwards, since trying to broaden on Day =
for=20
Night and TATHH, and I think the decline in interest in them reflects =
this.=20
Plus how do you keep the rants sounding fresh as opposed to just =
histronics?
Mind you, I know many people who saw them at last year's Bluesfest =
here in=20
Ottawa (& I would have too had I been in town), and I'm told they =
still=20
smoke live! Gord Downie & this backing band put on a good show at this =
year's edition of the festival, too, btw, which I saw.
Anyway, I think its safe to say the Hip have way more 'on' than 'off'=20
nights, and when they are on, they're better than just about any band =
out=20
there! (Which reminds me, its too bad Moist broke up - I'd never buy a =
record, but holy mac were they awesome live! Also, yes they're a bit =
silly,=20
but Sum 41 are great live too. Just try not to crush the 14 yr old =
girls.)
Cheers,
Dave
