They are not in order and I might have missed a few ..but that was the ones I can remember ..Wow !! Kids What a show it was. First of all we all Lite up  ..for a little buzz before we got there .. then at around 7pm we left our place in Clayton Park Via Taxi .. I was stuck with one extra Ticket for the show .. and couldn't scalp it ..there seemed to be no one there that was intrested in buying ... only selling ..oh well .. and it was cold .. I sported my Hip t-shirt .. got in the doors ..with Girlfirend on Hand ..and darted for the T-shirt booth .. to my suprise $33 later I got a Phantom Power T-shirt .. alot of great shirts there .. but ..I just couldn't resist this one .. cause it says the dates and the places on the back ..So We got there a little late and Devine Right was playing already ..when We got there .. Lower Bowl section 17 Row E .. Perfect seats ..not on the floor and having to worry about people stealing your stuff or anything ..totally Eye Level seats .. I was so excited to See the Hip .. Devine Right are a Good band they sound great .. I enjoyed them alot .. I think alot of people are underestimating this band .. look at the rheo's .. they were great too.. and people said they sucked .. oh well
So there was a 30 minute Layover between the 2 enough to sneek another Pinner in .. just in time for the Hip .. They came out with everyone screaming ..and everything electric ... Totally awsome .. Gord Was shaking a Bannana like Trouble at the henhouse tour .. man that Bananna must be rotten by now ..hahah Anyways Poets was the first song and it was awsome ..
Favorite songs for me

another thing I would liek to add to this message .. is even though this was my 5 th time seeing the Hip ...I noticed something different this time ... I really focused on Jonny Fay .. what a Hell of a Drummer .. oh man ...you should see this guy go ..  definatlly worth the 35 bucks I paid ..well 70 after Her's too

Take Care

Metro Centre, Halifax, NS  February 1st, 1999 review by Shane McLeod via alt.music.tragically-hip

Well, I was pumped for this concert.  I've never seen the Hip before so I was really up for this.  We headed out around 4:30 and went to Alfredo Weinstien and Ho for some food and beer.  Following this we headed to the Dome and grabbed some drinks, figuring (correctly that there would be no alcohol in the Metro Centre)  We sat around and talked, drank some, enough to be silly but not enough to be a mess.  We headed to the Metro Centre around 7:45 or so.  My friends didn't really care about
seeing BDR and I'm going again tonight so we didn't make it in time to see them.  So we get in and wonder around, run into some other friends and talk for a while.  We headed to our seats, and about five minutes later the lights dim. Out come Gord and the boys, and immediately into Poets.  The crowd was pumped.  The songs kept coming, better and better.  Courage was the second song and totally rocked.  Highlights for the night, Escape, Chagrin, Nautical.  Of course 100th.  1st encore, Scared ruled.  The lighters came out and the song was I think the best of the night. After the first encore people acutally started leaving, I don't know if they stopped at the doors, however, if they didn't they missed Blow, which was incredible.  The show was great beginning to end.  Excellent mix of old and new.
