Sorry, just saw the set list. Exactly the same as first night of the two Victoria shows... with the exception noted by Tthip.

If they follow suit, look for Bobcaygeon, Poets, Music@Work, Family Band, Queen of the Furrows, Century, Locked, Ocean, Fully Completely, Boots or Hearts, and maybe even Fiddler's Green tonight

i really hope they bust out something old school. ever since they played opiated at the last massey show i've been waiting for something like that. last night was good to see Lonely End of the Rink, but I'm hoping for something like Coredlia for Wednesday night.

Crowd did seem a little deader than some other shows tho. Even Filmore in SF has a ton more energy...

If we're gonna dream, I'd love to hear Are We Family, I've never heard it live. Other bonuses would include Pretend, The Completist, Are You Ready, Scared, Pigeon Camera and Last of the Unplucked Gems

And wouldn't it be awesome if they played Small Town Bringdown!

Just for fun, I'd be curious to know what you all would like to hear. You can pretend, yes you can, yes you can... We've all got our favourites.

RedMosquito · Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:15 pm

I want to hear

Pigeon Camera, Yawning or Snarling, Heart of the Melt, Put it Off, Ultra Mundane and Vapor Trails

...and yes I know how unlikely a few of those are.

Let's assume if the crowd was a bit dead last night that the band will take that into account and choose on of the 8 or 9 sets that's a little higher in energy.

I'm sorry but I can't believe Pretend is in your wish list to hear live...ugh

like i said, we all have our favourites. They played it at the Commodore in November, 2007 and it was great.

Tell us what you'd like to hear, and I'll fire up the u, g, and h keys

Actually, no i wouldn't. Couldn't do that to the Hip.

2006, yes. Can't believe it's been that long.

The Heron Outside · Tue Jun 23, 2009 6:05 pm

Would someone mind telling me what time they went onstage last night?

Pretend is just my least favourite hip song and they played it so much during the last tour. You're right, everyone has their favourites. But if they were to play Pretend this tour, it would probably come during the acoustic set, and I personally would prefer an older, more rare tune like Greasy Jungle, Incha an Hour, Long Time Running, etc

I was really hoping for Greasy Jungle, such a great live song. Don't know if they'd do it during an acoustic set, but would be sweet to hear.
