Here are a bunch of pics.
Thanks for the suggestion about the HofF. I actually found it a bit overwhelming - there is a lot of stuff to look at! I can see how you need at least a day or two to really see everything. I rushed through in about an hour! haha!.
Then, when I was leaving I saw that there were several police cars everywhere, and the highway was shut down. I worried for a minute, but when I noticed a bunch of people watching who didn't look concerned I figured it was probably just some politician. I asked someone who they were waiting for and they said, "President Obama". Cool. So I waited and watched the entourage and his car zip by and snapped a few pics. That was a neat way to end a pretty fantastic weekend!

Longevity doesn’t guarantee anything in the world of rock ’n’ roll. Plenty of classic rocks continue to plug away on the touring circuit, trotting out their hits and going through the motions. Thankfully, Kingston, Ontario’s the Tragically Hip, which has almost 30 years under its belt, is not one of those bands. These guys have such terrific chemistry and camaraderie, it just appears as if they’re operating on auto-pilot. In reality, this group plays like a well-oiled machine, something that was apparent last night at a sold out House of Blues.
You’d wouldn’t be wrong for thinking that singer Gord Downie, who sported an old-fashioned top hat to cover up his chrome dome, looked a bit like R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe. He moved like Stipe, too, as he pantomimed during the opening number, “At Transformation,” the hard-driving single from the band’s new album Now for Plan A. Downie stripped off his jacket and then vented with punk rock rage on the acerbic “The Kids Don’t Get It.” The band simmered down for “Gift Shop,” for which Downie strapped on an acoustic guitar. After fiddling a bit with his in-ear monitors, which he joked was French for “pain in the ass,” the band faltered a bit on “We Want It To Be,” but got back on track with “El Dorado,” a track that slowly built in intensity. The group punctuated “Fire in the Hole” with a ferocious jam and softened up for the beautiful ballad “Springtime in Vienna.”
The Hip saved the best for the six-song encore, which commenced with “At the Hundreth Meridan,” a song that’s every bit as anthemic as Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” And the guys kept the audience, which we’re guessing was mostly Canadian, on its feet by concluding with hits such as “Ahead by a Century,” “Bobcaygeon” and “Fifty Mission Cap.”

Interestingly enough - I was at another show without NOIS or Blow - Olean, NY 9/12/1998srb wrote: When was the last time the Hip played a show without both Blow & NOIS in the lineup?
Pretty rare.

The beautiful ballad Springtime in Vienna? We want it to be? Stipe references? I know it was a positive revue, but c'mon

Not only no NOIS or Blow, there were actually no songs played from the band's first two albums.

My recollection is that is pretty much typical - the band rarely plays songs from the previous CD on the current CD tour.direwolf74 wrote:No songs from WATS either.HandsInTheRiver41 wrote:Not only no NOIS or Blow, there were actually no songs played from the band's first two albums.
