Welcome to the base! you'll fit in nicely here.gman1127 wrote:I`ve been a Hip fan for 20 yrs and this was my first chance to see them live. I`m from Rockford, Il and no one around here is familar with the Hip which is frustrating and at the same time kinda ok cuz the Hip are my secret Unplucked gem in my circle. I took my girlfriend and as we haven`t been together long, she was new to the band. All I can say is phenomenal, what a true group of proffesional musicians who have stood the test of time. The band is so in sync with each other it`s like each guy is an extension of the other, clearly a true brotherhood that comes out in each amazing song. Gord Downey is clearly the most interesting and enigmatic frontman in all of music. Not only does he interact with the crowd, but after literally dozens of shows I`ve seen, it was the first time that a lead singer not only sang the song, but truly perofrmed them as well. It was as if he acted out each song, absolutely brilliant definitely not my last show. Btw, my girlfriend now says the Hip are her favorite band and has downloaded all of their catalog! Thanks guys for being true to your craft and simply awesome when far too many bands clog the airwaves the garbage. Keep up the great work.
