the famous Hip "Swim" NOIS show...?

Locked · Tue Aug 24, 2004 7:50 am

Blame it on me being an american cause I should know this but
what show is that famous early gig where Gord and the crowd go
back and forth with that amazing "swim" chant on NOIS...

I have to get a copy of that!
It captures the essence of a Hip show IMO...

thanks in advance,
Scott in Boston

Scott - that is my all time favorite version of NOIS.
It is in my tape player in my car right now. - I swear.
Yes I said tape player - do not ask.
I'll have to go get the date for you.
Amazing.

Is this the Waterloo show?? Also, if this is the same one...doesn't Gord talk about having someone's bra that was thrown up on the stage at him (at the end of the NOIS) ??? Now, I am curious

Same show Bra and all.
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim,swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim,swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim.
But I can't Goddamnit.
Amazing version of NOIS.

I know the song, but not the date...can anybody help out? I want to dig it out of the collection and give it a spin!

I think this is the date.
Phil's, Waterloo, ON 06/24/90
Once again - amazing version.
Did I say that enough?

I haven't heard the show, but what a show that would have been! Phil's is tiny. I don't know how they could even fit a band in that place.

It was supposed to be outside - but the weather made them move it inside.

the sound isnt that great on it though

Tthip · Tue Aug 24, 2004 7:10 pm

For a show that is not soundboard, and is from 1990.
I think it sounds pretty good.
Come on - we are going back to the age of tapes.
By the way - did I mention I have a tape player in my car?

Have you tried the FTP? Look in the downloads section for login information. Download AceFTP and take the show (1990 Waterloo) from ftp.thehundredthmeridian.com

Happy downloading!
