This was an awesome little venue. We pulled up around 6:15, Doors at 8. Met some really cool people before hand. Also heard that a couple without tickets ran into The Hip at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame earlier in the day and asked if there was anything they could do about getting in. Gord D. says How bout I put you on the guestlist, very nice of him! The wait in line to get in was well worth it, stood front row the whole show. Wayne, the opening band from Alabama was very good. The boys come on around 10:15 just after a little Radiohead house music. Violet Lights come down and it was rockin from here on out. The crowd was unbelievable and were singing along with every tune! Gord was on all night like always, dancing, rambling, smiling, and definitely dripping with sweat from Silver Jet on. Three Pistols was my wish and there it was, last song of the night. My favorite Hip show to date, great holiday weekend!! Caught one of Johnny's beat up drum sticks. Well, would write more but the sun is coming up. I'll be at Darien Lake for Sunday's show. Don't know if it will top this one but will be good for sure.

Ooh, beat me to the setlist. You're right, what a great venue. 100th and IOD were rockin' and easily highlights of the night. Courage, though not my favorite, sounded great too. I loved the "Let's Go Buffalo" chant at the beginning though. Did Gord say something about the Sabres in 50-Mission Cap? My one wish though, was Emperor Penguin. Oh well. Great concert!
