Well gang the Bohagers show is now in the books,,and although I have
only had 5 hours of sleep I want to post the group before I forget
something!  I drove round trip almost 9 hours,,and it was worth it!
This was a show to remember,,,The Hip were Kick ASS last night,,and the
set list was different than I had heard  my previous 2 times hearing
them on this tour!  No Grace Too,,I sort of missed it, but I liked what
they changed and the direction they took the show in.  Gord D was in
great rambling form,,"as usual"  and the band /crowd ran with that
energy.  We had 3 onchores.

    Meridian is becoming a signature song for this tour,,they are really
getting into this song and it is changing each night they play it.  Last
night Gord D went into Semi Sonics song Closing Time,,"I know who I want
to take me home"  and a few other fillers.
    The crowd was good, there were a few Loyal Canadians who braved the
drive and the poor US exchange rates to come this far to see their
favorite band.  A few hockey shirts and Roots Canada stuff filled the
room!  No Canadian Flags that I saw,,but one dumb Yank,,not this
one,,brought a <US FLAG>  Go Figure?  No crowd problems....This was a
great Bar to see them at!

    The set is is as follows,,and as before after about the first 4 or
so songs there is no order!  Also as before Brain Meltdown could result
in missing/adding something.  So for complete accuracy check the TTH
main site,,I know I will.

One more thing last week in "Hampton VA"  Gord D told me that a video
was being filmed in Baltimore Md,,and he also mentioned this to the
crowd last night!  Please keep me posted on that.  I still have not seen
the video for Poet's cause MTV sucks.  If anyone has seen it tell me
what show and times you did.
