No offense to any Canadians but one of the best parts for me was someone had a Canadian flag up in the very front of the crowd and Gord snatched it down and put it on the drum riser and said he hated to have to address the topic and followed up with "...i'm sorry but your nationalism is getting in the way of the people seeing me." He continued saying "there are no laws in Texas against demagoguery".

Nothing against Canada. I just don't like looking at the back of a flag the entire show. I'm usually behind the guys with the flag. This time I wasn't but I was glad to see Gord take charge on that. It kind of impacts the show for the people behind the flag.

Yet another great run of awesome tunes. That must have been fantastic - I was at the Houston House of Blues earlier in September and it looked like a great place to see the Hip!
