Keep your hands down eh...I'm two rows behind you in 45 & 46.
Anyone know how off centre these seats are?
Better yet, can anyone tell me how many seats there are in a row?
The floorplans on TicketBastard and The ACC's website don't say and I get the feeling it's going to be a loud night if we are right in front of the right stack.
t.
hey trevor...im thinking your on the far right probably on the aisle.you guys figure out a meeting spot?
Yeah I thought so too but we have seats 45-46. So if there were equal numbers of seats between the three sections, then 15-15-15 doesn't work. If it is 20-20-20 we are in a good spot.
...of course it could be 15-20-15 in which case we are pretty close to the aisle (and that booming loud stack!!!)
Solid if unspectacular show--virtually the same setlist as Ottawa, but with a few changes/additions/omissions:
* Lonely End of the Rink
* New Orleans is Sinking
* Fully Completely
* Bobcaygeon
* The Drop Off
* Ahead by a Century
* In View
* Poets
* Fiddler's Green
* World Container
* Springtime in Vienna
* At the Hundredth Meridian/Walking on the Moon
* Long Time Running
* The Kids Don't Get It
* Courage
* Wheat Kings
* Yer Not the Ocean
* Fifty Mission Cap
* Blow at High Dough
* Diamond Dogs (David Bowie)
* Family Band
* Fire in the Hole
* Little Bones
So yeah: solid. The audience was frothing over for the first two-thirds, but seemed to run out of a steam (with the exception of "Fifty" and "Blow"). The cover seemed to confuse most people, and the next two songs were a bit of a drag. Also, not hearing "Grace, Too" at the ACC seems criminal to me...but hey, no complaints. I had fun. And I'm anxiously awaiting the next time.
I'm a long-time Hip fan and Hipbase member, but not one who posts often on Hipbase, not because I don't know what I'm talking about but because people on this blog love the Hip no matter what they do...even when what they do is mediocre or worse. I thought tonight's show was weak. I'm glad I made the trip to Barrie last Friday because this show really let me down and the Barrie show was great! When I heard Neil Young being played as part of the house music tonight, I thought we might be in line for a sweet encore. Didn't happen. Moreover, when the Hip start to rock, I don't want to hear Long Time Running Or Fiddler's Green. Please, what's so good about those songs!? I'd rather hear Vaccination Scar or No Threat...or anything but these tunes. I thought the Hip would rock Toronto tonight but they didn't...and a four song encore instead of a three song encore doesn't make me feel any better. That Bowie tune sucks even when Bowie sings it. Sorry if you can't handle the fact that the Hip shat the bed tonight.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ???
(is this a joke?...is he joking?)
why does having an opinion about music make you wrong?

There is NO way that Vaccination Scar even compares to Fiddler's Green or LTR...Vaccination Scar is a great tune, but it's just not the same
Chris, are you "done" because you don't agree with me? This was a weak Hip show. I met you at the Phoenix about a week before the Dylan show in London and you told me that Dan Akroyd was in the house. You mentioned to me that he might jam with the Hip. Well, he didn't...and thank G-d he didn't! I don't want to see Dan (I was a Ghostbuster) Akkroyd jam with the Hip. I want to see the Hip! By the way, that Dylan show in London was not so good either, Bob never got up from his piano and he pretty much went through the motions that night...playing to the crowd and then moving on to the next city. Chris, I respect your opinion because you know what you're talking about and not because you're approaching 5000 posts, but the guy who posted after me is wrong. While I agree that LTR and Fiddler's are good tunes, they are the last tunes I want to hear in the middle of a good-hard-rock-and-roll Tragically Hip set.
Thanks Dannya2...for respecting my opinion. That's what it's all about. Listening to opinions and then giving your own without disrespecting someone elses.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ???
