I think i'll slip out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini 
Show was awesome, I really hope Frozen in My Tracks becomes a live staple. More comments once I have something besides my iPod to write from.

Just got home from the show. IT SUCKED. It poured, the songs were mega generic, and the venue was bizarre. Worst of the five I have been to on the WAS tour. I think I am done with it until next tour.

Seriously? I think this was easily the second-best of the five Hip shows I've been to. Sounds like you just hated the rain - I loved it, and Gord's reactions to the ever-changing weather in general.MalcolmKellyRaps wrote:Just got home from the show. IT SUCKED.

Great show and energy from the band, they seemed to feed off of the downpour. Up front there was about two inches or so of water throughout the show. The rain added so much to it, I, along with everyone else there, will not forget it. Thompson Girl acoustic was the only suprise. Same closing as Artpark on 6/6, Blow - Struggle - Bones.

It was the best out of the 3 I went to (Chicago 5/27, London 7/23)SoylentGreg wrote:Seriously? I think this was easily the second-best of the five Hip shows I've been to.

Was easily the best concert experience of my life. Gord was really feeding off the energy and rain, and sun, and clouds. He was drinking the rain water, singing to the glipmses of sunshine that eventually came through. Set list was tits. He even said 20+ years of touring they had never experienced such an event, and that we would do this TOGETHER. Totally awesome. The best was when he looked up at the sky, saw the "skys of smokey blue-grey", then broke into new orleans is sinking....and then an incredible downpour ensued. Let the chick 3 ppl away strum the guitar at the end of Bobcaygeon. Just totally insane vibe...and I was nervous, because there really weren't many people there, it was literally like watching the Hip in your backyard...no shit. Hope they come back to Highland Bowl again, worth the hour drive from buffalo, and soaking that we got.
Oh yeah, and to the douche that was crying about the rain, go to the croc bar next time and see strickly hip...WTF

This will be legendary.
Standing in 3" of water almost the entire show, the amount of women in the pit, the venue...an annual thing would be great here.

New Orleans was so awesome. Especially when the rain came pouring down.

Unreal show, especially since I live right in the neighborhood and chill down at the Bowl a lot. Anyone know what song they played before the tech break? Also, who was complaining about the rain, that was the best part and the crowd soaked it up.
