I will take a "lets go Sabers” chant in between songs over totally annoying Canadians waving their flag obscuring my view during the entire show. Additionally, they always seem to be the ones around me pushing and shoving, trying to get in front. For those Canadians that don't engage in this type of obnoxious behavior: sorry if I offended you, and thanks.

I don't think Gord appreciates the overly enthusiastic Canadians either. In Boston, just before the encore, many people were singing the Canadian anthem. When Gord came on stage he asked why peolpe were singing that song. He said something along the lines of not needing anthems. During the last bars of Escape he kind of mockingly mouthed the first verse of O Canada and when the song ended yelled "F*ck! That's my anthem.

The more I think about it, I kept remembering how embarassed I was for the Hip that those Jackasses were chanting "Let's go Sabres" between songs, and before the encore. Not knowing anyting else, I could certainly see how they were more than obliged to let the Sabre fans out a little early to go catch the highlights. Really pisses me off if that was the case.gentoo wrote:There were 2 songs on the setlist that weren't played. Rink was supposed to be after BobC, and Bones was to be the final song. At the end of the main set Gord said "this is the sweatiest fucking show we've ever played" so I don't know if that had anything to do with shortening the show.

I think it had less to do with hockey and more to do with the fact that Gord looked like he was going to pass out.u8555 wrote:The more I think about it, I kept remembering how embarassed I was for the Hip that those Jackasses were chanting "Let's go Sabres" between songs, and before the encore.
