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 ..

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

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.
