Apparently my dad used to live in the same apartment as the Tragically hip, in toronto or kingston, i dont remember.. but ya, he used to always tell them they'd be big and my dad bought a bunch of there CD's, then they gave him this giant poster of there ffirst europian tour and it was signed to my older brother, but my older brother didnt like the band and he ripped up the poster... imagine how much money that would be now

:oHe ripped up the poster, yeah it would be worth some money today, that was a silly thing to do. That's pretty neat that your dad lived in the same apartment building and he was right they did make it big.

Yeahhhh AWESOME!!!
I have seen the Hip several times! Since my exchange program in 1993 ( way way back in time...) I got hooked to the band. I came back to Europe and kept on playing their cd's.
Then in 2002 I did like 80% of the whole European tour with them... following them up to Denmark! Got to see 9 shows in 2 weeks heheh. This way I got to know the band quite well. EVersince 2002 I sometimes mail with Johnny Fay and whenever they are down in Europe I get backstage heheh!!!
The hip is definately one of the best performing bands ever. They are sooo long together and Gordon ( singer) is just awesome with his lyrics. So to me there are 2 major bands Blind melon and The Hip.
Anyway, try to see as much Hip as possible. They sure rock!!! There new album World Container is excellent! Johhny mailed me they'll be touring Europe again this year.. hopefully not in September....
Okay, who else got to see the Hip... BTW The hip recorded 2 cd's in Kingsway Studio's as well!!! That's what I call having good taste for the music!
Cheers & peace
Paul

Yep, I think Gord is brilliant and I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves The Hip!

I've lost count how many times i've seen The Hip. They are one band who is faitful to come to Atlantic Canada. I seen them two summers ago opening for the Stones. man 85000 people. IT was INSANE!!!!!!!! too bad it wasn't phish or blind melon..lol many people don't get the Hip Live. Personally I LOVE the way Gord just goes off on his rants they make me laugh like when i listen to Beck. I think he's pretty incredible. The Hip Rock!!! EVERYBODY!! Download..er i mean "find" Boots Or Hearts diggit

I am going to see The Hip on March 16th in Dallas, and I am stoked. By far my favorite band. Gord is a god.

great to see some hip fans here. Any of you guys a member of the hipbase? www.hipbase.com (forums). i've been a hip fan all my life but never seen em in concert (my first concert ever in my life for any band) till just back in sept 05 in Moncton opening for the rolling stones (same as tripticket mentioned) and then again last summer in P.E.I. Ifanyone hasn't yet heard sone unreleased hip stuff, u gotta check out, get back again, montreal, blonde solid, radio show, ultra mundane, problem bears, and forest edge). There are more i can't think of... Hey tripticket, where are you from? i am from Miramichi but lived in Moncton for the past two years...

I say thanks to Canada for Danko Jones! #worship# I`m listening to Tragically Hip now for the first time. I have heard the name sometime but never any of their song. At least at the time i didn`t know it was a Hip song. Doesn`t sound too bad actually.. I might as well give this band a chance..
