Anyone thinking they will pull out Highway Girl or Small Town Bringdown just to kind of do the Circle of Life thing?

Can't wait to see the show (TV of course as I am in Winnipeg). Our show was Epic and expect this one will be even more than that.

Great band, great music and great fans!!

Thanks to all who posted videos of the shows leading up to this one.

For those lucky enough to be at the show tonight - enjoy every second!
A Hip set list is like a box of chocolates..you never know which one you're going to get.

Just out of curiosity... I know they said there wouldn't be tickets, but if anyone is by the arena, I'm curious if people are lining up anyway with the hope of a miracle release.

Ten people in box office line at 11am and I heard guard say "CBC just released tix"
Then at noon 100 people same line. 'Rumor' was 200 tix released.

We are on the 6th floor back at Queens (Brant) until 3 or 4 then back downtown. Come on down. Only 2 of us right now
Hot as hell walking downtown

I'm at Brant 6th floor too. Heading back out now. My phone doesn't work in Canada. Wifi here so I'll hang until 4. Hit me up!

I am hoping they play Highway Girl and with the Hip there is always a chance. I expect a totally different set list with some added special bonuses for Kingston (It is to a national audience, but I don't think that would stop them from playing some rare songs or something off the EP)...Highway Girl would be very fitting.

Just landed at the hotel in Kingston. Crazy to be here. Heard on K Rock FM 105.7 the merch lines were insane already. I assume buying merch in the concert is best.

I can confirm. I opted for pints at the toucan. A lot of the folks that are watching the big screen are lined up.
