I don't think I met any basers, I met one dood the next morning who asked us if we went, he was in the Luxor elevators 7th floor with his girlfriend, I had my new hip hoodie on with white shades , they were at the Washington show as well, nice guy, funny he said this is the largest crowd he's ever seen for them and I was this was my smallest Canadian and States crowds we thought, forgot to ask him if he was a baser.

I suppose I should of said "largest non-festival show in the U.S.".

That was me bro! Hope you had fun in California.

Ha, thanks. (I think?) i get that a lot. i guess its my wicked inmaturity and long hair that keep me looking so young. I'm 42 and still paying for the lack of sleep. Speaking of paying, after we meet you I went downstairs and cleaned up on the Roulette table.

I feel so fortunate to be in love with a band that I have the luxury of seeing very often. This was a really special treat and something to cross off my bucket list. What a great night of music. My brother came up from San Diego to join me (on my birthday). He had only seen the Hip once before and was not a huge fan at that point. He was blown away. I think it was sensory overload for him! To see Gord and the boys in such an intimate venue was an experience I will never forget. There was so much energy and emotion. At the end of Fiddler's Green, Gord simply said, "That one is about the death of a child". Heavy on a messed up weekend. It is always cool to see the guys joking around and look like they are enjoying themselves. When they came back for the encore, Gord and Bobby almost collided. Gord through his hands in the air as if saying it was an accident and Bobby gestured as if he was going to take him out. It was a real funny moment. I really got a kick when Gord was ranting about the air conditioning in the House of Blues (captured in one of the videos posted). Throughout the show he kept making comments like, "Is it cold in here?" or "Are you cold?". We don't need air conditioning. We are the blues. Best birthday ever.

Love the video for WWTBI. Love to hear the crowd singing along to new ones.

Uh, yeah, that's not me singing or anything in any of the videos I posted. Actually, this concert is the reason why I still have no voice. I seriously think I strained a vocal cord. Well, the non-stop talking/laughing and lack of sleep could also be a factor.

I noticed Gord mentioned it being cold a lot too. Couldn't figure out why - it was fine on the floor. I heard a reference to guns at least twice. And I am trying to remember if he referenced the current situation in Attawapiskat - I wonder if someone got this one on video?

really nice reading the small world moment in the Luxor elevator...and the Luxury of the seeing them in small venues. And agree, great vids Sarah!

This show was the best one I have seen in a looooong time! I had the LUXORY of seeing them in San Fran, LA and Vegas on this last leg of the tour. And had after party passes for a couple of the shows...my only wish is that this show would have continued.... ... ... ...

At this show, I think I blew my load (oh my) when Lionized came on! It was incredible and the energy of the boys and the crowd was spot on! All show.

I met a ton of great people and look forward to seeing some on the European tour in 13...Whaaaa??

Gord does not like to sing in venues with the A/C running. I have never had a chance to ask Gord directly, but I think he feels the cold air hurts or damages his vocal cords. I have been to summer club shows in the Detroit, Cleveland and Washington DC where the temperature outside the venue was 80 degrees F and the A/C system was turned off by request of the band, according to the staff.

I imagine The Hip requested the A/C to be lowered or turned off and the HOB didn't comply and Gord wasn't pleased with the conditions.

Too funny seeing so many hockey jerseys walking around the casino, I think the locals where wondering wtf??? There was a CBC crew dong interviews with people in line waiting to get in so I would expect they will be airing something in the near future. I'm not a big fan of In View but last night they absolutely rocked it! Fiddler's was incredibly moving in light of recent events, not sure but I believe Gord wiped tears at the end of the song. The crowd was awesome and totally into the show beginning to end. Great to meet negphil! Will post more pics later.

Hey anybody who is interested my cousin has finished the piece he did at this show. It will air at 7:40 tomorrow morning on CBC Saskatchewan 540 am radio. He says he will post it on the website after. Can't wait to hear it. I can't really remember much of what I said.

Lol buddies ripped me pretty good for that today. It's true though. I could pick up Seattle radio from my farm near Swift on good nights. Glad you enjoyed it.
