Wow....wow wow wow wow :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Saw them when they came through town last December. Everybody had a great time.

Slightly OT, but I like how Sarah Polley deconstructed Hip's "Courage" into something evocative and sublime...

from Atom Egoyan's film, The Sweet Hereafter

Thats what people miss about this band...shear poetry.

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown
With something more familiar
Quickly, something familiar

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep
In a motel that has the lay of home
And piss on all of your background
And piss on all your surroundings

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

There's no simple
Explanation
For anything important
Any of us do
And, yeah, the human
Tragedy
Consists in
The necessity
Of living with
The consequences
Under pressure
Under pressure

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time

It couldn't come at a worse time
No
It couldn't come at a worse time

Courage

If they are one of your favourites, DO IT. You won't regret it.

On a Saturday night, no less.

A friend of mine saw them at the Paradiso last time they played and he reported the Hip were fantastic. So good, he will be at this upcoming concert. If you are in town, then this will be a show to see.

Music without drums is just folk music.
