Yesterday, november the 6th, I saw the Hip for the first time in my life in Amsterdam's Paradiso...
An old small theatre compared to those big stadiums in the USA and Canada. No seats, you could almost touch the guys. My eldest son came with me in stead of my friend Beat.

At 9.15pm they came on stage. I stood right in front of it, a perfect place!! Within ten minutes Gord was so sweaty, drops were flying everywhere, giving the front row a free shower. The crowd really enjoyed the way they did the show! Everybody was dancing and singing along with the band. They finished just before 11.00pm... I had a great and wonderful evening.. I'm hooked for life... :)

the setlist...
- silver jet
- music @ work
- new orleans is sinking
- chagrin falls
- fully completely
- nautical disaster
- use it up
- fireworks
- poets
- the dark canuck
- springtime in vienna
- at the hundredth meridian
- all tore up
- locked up in the trunk of a car
- wheat kings
- blow at high dough
encore 1
- it's a good life if you don't weaken
- three pistols
encore 2
- the wherewithal

Fully completely was amazing.. and so was at the hundredth meridian. Well I've to say the whole show was amazing... but those two songs...... WOW!!

After the show we found out Amsterdam had been struck by a very big power failure. Almost 80% of the city was completely dark. How lucky we were!! We didn't notice anything until we left the theatre..
