Geez. The "greatest hits" setlists keep on coming over in Europe. At least those that made the trip finally got one semi-rare tune: Daredevil. Surely night no. 2 at the Paradiso will bring a few more gems.

What are you talking about? You think 'On the Verge' is a regular?

Good show, and a great crowd - just like last year.

The sound fluctuated a few times - great really loud and then not so much - but it did not detract from the event.

Nope -- missed that one on a quick scan. Thanks for the catch. So it's two semi-rarities in three nights. Still somewhat sparse.
Glad to hear the shows have been good. Just pulling for some more diverse setlists as the Europe shows go on.

Yeah, I hear ya. I enjoy every Hip show, even the hits, but I do love a little diversity. Hearing 'Fire' and 'Escape' were great in Charlottetown, but mostly I was eager to hear the new songs. They all sounded great. 'Dropoff' was fantastic, as was 'World Container'.

Here is a video of Gord apologizing after "bashing" the girl:

My first time in Amsterdam and I was excited to be at the show !
I was located in the first row of the balcony directly in front of Paul.
(So far left)
Great view as the venue wasn't too big.
Had problems with my camera but the setlist rocked.
Martha and I had a few Hein-nys to celebrate our first night of holidays !!
