'Twas a simpler time, when Hip fans got excited if there was one sorta rare song in a setlist -- and those setlists were delayed until at least someone managed to get out of the club and onto a computer, if not until the next day.

Didn't I read in the thread about the Live At The Bathouse that there was like only one or two people in the entire theatre for the Quebec showing?

I heard they played Montreal, Blonde Solid, Get Back Again, and Gord did the Killerwhaletank rant, and they released a new album that sounds just like their old stuff.

Translated:
And until someone can tell me better - it looks like acoustic Courage and Inch An Hour

http://www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/art ... si-hip.php

(Quebec) For a man who had spent the afternoon walking the ramparts of Quebec, Gord Downie did not seem in lack of energy yesterday at the scene of the Capitol. With his singular voice, gestures and a strangely captivating trousers row which gave him a
silhouette of kid, the leader of the Tragically Hip was far display some signs of fatigue whatsoever ... Or her training elsewhere!

"Your town is made of steps, which is perfect to exhaust the enemy. "No No invasion today!" It's very intelligent! "Claimed the singer at the time of The Last Recluse, a piece from the recent We Are the Same (2009).

The title of the 12th original album does not stick to the best training from Kingston, one group to which remarkable authenticity - note to the uninitiated - is akin to a kind of REM Development. A group whose sound is almost three decades the very definition of rock maple. The United States Springsteen, Canada, Tragically Hip.

And it should not save very long to understand why yesterday on Capitol Hill. With a solid repertoire spanning the past 26 years, but also refreshing news that testify to its constant evolution, the quintet, led skillfully by its singer, offered a performance kick before a Capitol filled to capacity.


As if they wished to reiterate their rejection of musical stagnation, the Hip have opened the evening with the amazing Depression, a new three-part piece that is nearly 10 minutes on the clock. Enter into the unexpected, the moderate tempo piece has set especially the fore the talent of the singer as an actor, who played literally in the text to interpret it in his voice to the full tremolo.

Fitted with a white handkerchief, which he regularly s'épongeait front, an intense and fully Downie inhabited by music immediately set the tone for the evening program.

The latter married happiness of past successes, the Poets (correct), Ahead By a Century (moving) and New Orleans Is Sinking (juicy), the most recent pieces such as Love Is a décapante First, to become a success scene, or the cozy Coffee Girl, one of the most unexpected recent album.

Acoustic segment

Through this flood of agreements with power supplied by Rob Baker, Paul Langlois and Downie itself (which has not broke one, but two guitar strings in the evening), the group has included in his performance, early in the second part, an acoustic segment that has delighted the crowd, thanks to use as an inch an Hour and Courage. Unusual fact, drummer Johnny Fay then behind a battery consists of djembes!

As the curtain fell, the electrifying Blow at High Dough, a increvable Gord Downie left the scene in swimming, not without having first served a serious lesson in handling a microphone that can overshadow any feint learned of Alexander Ovechkin on the ice.

When the next time?
