  1. Big week for GSBG. They're playing the Capitol Theatre this Saturday night (9/17). Nugs.tv will be webcasting starting at 9:00 EDT. The new album - "Shouted, Written Down & Quoted" - drops next Friday (9/23) which is the same day they start a two-night stand at Higher Ground. I'm going to miss the Cap show, but will be at both Higher Ground shows. Wahoooo! Here's a little something from the new record. That dobro, though:

     

  2. I love how much coverage this tour is getting. Today the National Post had the full setlist from last night in Vancouver, as well as a rundown of every song played over the first three shows. Forty-eight unique songs, by my count. And cool how they're grouping them by album as Phorbesie pointed out. Here's the list as it currently stands:

    Looks like I've found Ottawa tickets (for face!), still looking for a single for London.

    Looking for heady extras for Ottawa...

    And also London, where I'll be for work at the appropriate time.

    Funny the geographic disparity of secondary market tickets. As low as $20 USD each on StubHub for the western shows, but then at least five times that once they get to Ontario. Interesting, too, that London is the second priciest show behind only Kingston. Maybe size of the venue?

    TLDR; looking for Ottawa and London.

    Anyone around here besides me heading to Saratoga for the long weekend?

    We might do Sunday. We'll be at my wife's parents' place, which is three hours from the venue. If the weekend goes according to plan we'll leave the kids with their grandparents and head down. Although if we do I will likely end my perfect streak of always being inside for Phish at SPAC.

    I feel old

    My thoughts exactly. I had to Google all three headliners (Jesus) and it would seem that none of them had much of a career before 2013. I don't feel quite as lame, in that case, given how hyper-contemporary they are. It's not like they've been established for a decade and my head is completely in the sand. There are some bands I enjoy on the undercard (Dropkick, Lake Street Dive and Fruition among them) but I may well skip it entirely. It's too bad, as I had been looking forward to the lineup dropping, but God bless 'em. Hopefully the turnout is killer and there will be more of my thing (or our thing, judging by the other comments) next year.

    If Gord is as fit to tour as they say his is, this is a pretty weak tour.  I hope it's just the first dates announced.  

    Or if he's as terminal as they say he is, maybe he wants to maximize time with friends and family, while still going out for one last jaunt. It's not an exhaustive tour, but I'm just glad they're making one final go of it.

  7. Gut-wrenching. We are losing a national treasure. Like many of you I latched on to the Hip in high school, and latched on hard. Theirs was the first "scene" I was really a part of, and even though I haven't been an active fan for a long time, I love that they are an inextricable part of my musical DNA. I'll be at the Ottawa show, for sure, and it looks like I'll be in London for work when they play there, so I may try to make that happen as well.
