This was posted earlier in the thread:

And Twitter said this: "My cousin & his band are gonna play Knocking On Heaven's Door while Gord Downie sings"

Is this the opening band?? That would be pretty cool.

Mine did that at first too and all good after a bit.

This is hilarious. Love the blue chairs and basketball hoop. Can't wait for the boys to go on!

I love how "no frills" this thing is. Gonna be weird watching the Hip in a high school gym, lol.

Is it just me or is the audio really distorted?

yeah, i hope they somehow fix the quality D:

I wonder when the link will be posted to thehip.com?? Thanks for posting it here, Vic. My sound sucks too but I guess it's better than nothing.

Remember folks, this is from Fort Albany, ON, not Toronto. I doubt the quality will improve.

If the Hip aren't playing an acoustic set tonight, I fear the new songs will sound about as coherent as MAv's "No Threat" video he taped from backstage at Salmonfest in '05

nice to see hipbase happy again!

You'd think the audio would be a little better for a Hip production. Hopefully they'll patch into the soundboard for the main event.
