12: Toronto #4 (acoustic)
13: Fiddler's Green (acoustic)
14: Greasy Jungle (acoustic) (WHAT?!?!?!?!)
15: The Last Recluse

And that is the absolute greatest and most unbelievable 4 songs in a row that the Hip have ever played in all the years of their existence. :shock:

I just got in from the show. Greasy Jungle acoustic was the best with TO #4 coming in a close second! If I was had the gear to record I would have and if I'd recorded I would post that right away for everyone!! Sorry. I saw a few people recording so it will see the light of day shortly. Wow! GREAT show. AMAZING acoustic set.

It had the energy for a second encore but I think if they based encores on crowd energy we would still be in Montreal.

And just for the record, that would be a different trevor.
Shouldn't you be sleeping?

I'll correct myself to avoid confusion: My fear is that Bonner will try to dry hump Mr. Dave and dreyfuss and freaked - and in the process ruin the recordings.
I could have asked the same thing of you, soon-to-be-daddy! :lol: :lol:

Ouch - that would give a whole new meaning to Greasy Jungle.

Thanks for posting Greasy. It was unbelievable. They should try alot of different songs acoustically. For example:

you're everywhere
vapour trails
membership
another midnight
thugs

I can keep listing them for hours.

I once heard somebody say "the mark of a truely great song is that it can be played stripped down, and acoustic and it still sounds just as good" or in this case better. I can definately picture you're everywhere.
And Thanks alot Chris, I don't know how you get things up this fast. (EDIT: Shutup...)
