I've been to 27 shows and the boys never, ever, let me down. This was probably the closest I've ever been (2nd row pit) to the stage, and unlike the earlier crowd surfing days, it was such a blast not to be squished and jostled. Such a great show. Highlights for me include The Depression Suite, which is so majestic, and Locked, which for some reason I always miss. Saw the setlist and it looks like 3 Pistols was scratched out for Courage, so you can't win em all. Nice to see Blackhawks Dman Brian Campbell taking pics and signing autographs for whoever wanted them. (Can't believe we had better seats than him!) Anyway, I feel so privelaged in my advanced age to feel like a kid again when I see this band.

On a side note, I would like to thank the piece of eye candy (Blonde, black shirt-green sticker on shirt, tight jeans in the pit) who kept me interested during "Good Life" You got me through that song. Thank you very much.

Another great show last night and always good to shoot the shit with redhill

Got lucky with a backstage pass for my wife and I right place at the right time they are a great bunch of guys obviously the highlight of any Hip show we have been to. How do people get these passes besides being lucky like us

Brought my 8yo son with me, this was his first Hip show he was in his We Are The Same Tee I got him from the Danforth Music Hall show.

Can't say more about the show than everyone else already said. We got to meet Brian Campbell, which I think was the highlight of the night for my son! Campbell was really nice, introduced himself to my son, asked his name, I told him this was his first Hip show, I also told him we were all pulling for him in the playoffs.

The blue lights from the stage freaked out my stupid camera but here is what could have been a nice shot with Soupy...

But did you not read the details?

Our photos are taken by experienced photojournalists and come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity (at no extra charge), documenting their exceptional value.

No extra charge!!!! It's a bargain at twice the price!!!

Me thinks that newspaper needs to hire MaV or Trevor...

Crappy pictures - but this one stood out to me. This is about where I was standing for one night and I saw almost the exact same image as I thought to myself "I guess I should have brought my camera"
