I just thought I'd tell you that I was at The Hip's concert last night. It was the first stop of their Tour '95.
The concert started at 7:30 (Maritimes), we got there at around 9:00 thinking that the Hip would only go on around 10:00 because of their two opening bands.  Surprise, surprise, they were already playing.
I don't know how many songs we missed but I was waiting to hear stuff from Up to Here and only heard New Orleans is Sinking and maybe one or two others.  I didn't get to hear Boots or Hearts, 38 Years Old or any other of my favorites like Wheat Kings, Fiddlers Green, etc...
I did get to hear Courage, Fully Completely and a couple of other songs on their new album that I'm not too familiar with because I like the old stuff better.  The Moncton Coliseum was sold out or almost, there were only around fifty tickets left at 6:00.  What a hyper crowd!! I'm glad I wasn't on the floor, there was alot of shoving and alot of people had to get pulled out from the crowd (like most concerts but I think this was the worst I ever saw). They came out for encores twice but didn't play as long as other bands do especially on the second one.  I've seen over 50 concerts and expected a little bit more maybe it's because I didn't get to hear almost every song I play on the guitar from them... I would like to see more comments as they play across Canada.  Anyways just my 0.02$.  Let me know if you like it?

        Thanks
