bouche Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 They blowed at high dough! (that's a good thing)that show was facking great. I am so glad I got tix 6 mths ago. Simply put, Gord Downie is an incredible performer and the guitars that bobby baker and paul langois kept swapping out were gorgeous. I had no idea they had such attention to the instrument.Gord must have practiced walking on the tops of theater seats all day. That was quite a .... wait for it.... feet.

Hartamophone Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 What did they play for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 The show was good. Gord had some good lines. "Ah, the National Arts Centre. What a dump." Of course they didn't play ALL the songs I wanted to hear, but definitely got a few that I wouldn't have thought to request that were excellent. Nautical Disaster, Grace Too and Gift Shop were all amazing, as usual. Encore wasn't too hot. So after the show I went to the Manx, after a while Bryson and Johnny Fay and a couple of The Hip's techs come in and sit beside us.Overheard line of the night:Johnny Fay - Dude, did you see the girl in the front row that looked exactly like Geddy Lee?Bryson - Yeah, Andrea Martin glasses and all.For people going tonight and Monday, beware the $8.50 drinks. They don't search at all on the way in so snoot away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Thugs is a killer tune. Slow, dark, and heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 That was my first ever Hip show and I really enjoyed it. Gord Downey was certainly a force. I thought the audience was absolutely enamored with his every move. So much so that it detracted from the music at times, but man if he doesn`t earn his paycheck. Sweating, crawling over seats, audience interaction, miming, dancing, and the voice! He really puts on a show.Great band, great songs, great show.

bouche Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) As we every show these days, there were a large number of digital devices being used. There was one guy in front of us who watched most of the show through his 1.5 inch LCD on the canon. These devices are definitely distracting but it sure is nice to see even crappy quality vids uploaded to youtube.

bouche Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I forgot to mention how great of an experience it was to be at a rocking show like this at the NAC in Ottawa and everyone was on their feet from the moment the band stepped on the stage.

Velvet Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I don't remember them doing Last Of The Unplucked Gems. I thought I heard a little tease, but none of the lyrics were sung, or maybe I'm wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
