Angst on the planks, spittin' from a bridge
Just to see how far down it really is
Robbing a bank, jumping from a train
Old antiques a man alone can entertain...

It's so awesome to see the old gems played again! One of my all time favorites...

They ran through it in soundcheck yesterday and the guys that heard it said it was pretty rough... but I guess a couple more practice runs brought it back into form.

No word whether lyrical assistance was required.

Awesome show...from what we heard.

My wife and I sat on a dock 50 yards from the KEE and could hear the show great through the 10 open windows on the south side. There were a lot of people on the docks and in boats anchored outside the KEE.
I could see Robbie playing through the open window.

Way better songs than last nights show (which we actually saw).....in my opinion.

I will leave the exact set list for someone else but here are some of the highlights:

Cordelia, Thugs, Long Time Running, Scared, Courage, Little Bones, Springtime in Vienna, 100th Meridian, New Orleans is Sinking, Bobcageon, Fireworks, Summers Killing Us, Lonely End, Family Band, Luv Sic, In View.

Encore: Yer Not The Ocean, Fully Completely, Fire In The Hole!!!

I really hope that they were taping (video) for tonights show! I saw them taping last nights show.
A big thank you to all the guys that work so hard taping / mixing / producing the shows for us all to enjoy...makes for great memories!

Wish I had been able to get tickets for tonights show....but it was great being able to sit on the dock and hear it!! Had a blast listening to the show under the stars.
It has been a great couple of nights!!!

Cheers.

I'm officially jealous...I even posted on the Hips Facebook begging them to play Cordelia at Artpark...its the only Hip song left I have to hear before I die!

Here's the official setlist,

Please note that they didn't play Emperor, instead they played Fully, a great version of Fully but it was no Emperor,

Oh yeah, no help was needed during Cordelia, it was fantastic, as was Thugs, Long Time and Scared, it was nice to hear Luv Sic again as well.

Great setlist! Playing EP would have finished it off a treat though.

Wow what a great show, great venue and great experience last night!

CORDELIA??? Me and my buddy went balistic, like "no...can't be....IT IS!!"

The crowd was very much into the show. No "cardboard cutouts" and I think Gord was really loving that. He seemed to pay alot of respect to the crowd throughout the night.

Hearing Thugs, Scared and again CORDELIA for the first time were definately big hilights. Long Time Running, Summer, and Fire were standouts for me. Luv Sic is definately a great tune live in person, and last night version of NOIS was one of the best if not the best I've seen. The boys were really into it, instead of the usual 'let's get this one out of the way' approach.

I hope somebody made a good recording of this one, as it would be great to relive. I saw a bunch of mics at the back but any cameras? Hopefully someone taped it.
