The Tragically Hip
2013-02-01 - Moncton, New Brunswick
Casino New Brunswick
Seeing The Hip in that ballroom off of Mountain Road in Moncton, New Brunswick always felt very intimate. The floor was always GA, with bleachers in the back with the bars. Me and whatever gang I was with, could always find our way up very close to the stage for the show. The stage was not that high off of the ground, maybe two feet at best (for the two shows I saw there, I was not there for the Moncton Fully Completely show).
The 2011 show in this room was the first show after the Bobcaygeon concert. I don't recall the exact quote, but during the credits in the Bobcaygeon film, Johnny pokes fun at the fact that their next concert is at a casino.
But as Gord would said, "You are the venue."
But seriously a great recording that captures The Hip on frigid Friday night in the middle of the winter in small city Canada, something that most mainstream bands fear. The Hip always embraced the Canadian winter and would give us tours at the height of the Canadian cabin fever.
I've always been able to get behind Now For Plan A. It's a great listen with some absolute bangers (some of which are highlighted here!)
Arkells also opened this entire tour.

Notes:
Recorded at the soundboard. Great show, and nice recording. Special thanks to the Hip for allowing recording, and especially the sound engineer for letting us set up mic stands inside the Soundboard cage to protect them from the crowd.
Don't ever SELL or BUY this recording. Go see The Tragically Hip live, and buy the Hip albums and merchandise. Support the band. (http://www.thehip.com)
