I'm seeing The Hip this week.

[Riles]

A foursome of us are catching them play at a local venue and I'm looking forward to it more than I thought I would be. A Riles' fun fact: It's been several years since I saw them play in Toronto where I was part of the crew of animal wranglers on set for a video. We met the band and got free tickets as a thank you.

Who would you go see again if you could or still want to see yet?

 

[spacekowboy]

I have no idea what you just said but I'm guessing it's a musical type concert thing.

I would love to see The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney or Eric Clapton but tickets for those kind of shows are far more than I can afford.

As for acts I've seen that I would love to see again: Springsteen.
I was lucky enough to see him and the E Street Band back in '04 at dodger stadium back when Big C was still with us. Great show, man. I've been to quite a few concerts in my time, but that one always stands out.

 

[Lancecastor]

I DJ'd the afterparty for the Hip's kickoff performance of their 2000 tour.

They spent the evening in the booth with me, looking through my albums, which thoroughly pissed off the party organizers.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Would love to see Beastie Boys again.... But alas that will not happen.

Saw them on the North shore. 9 of us skipped the price of admission, paddled 3 miles from Sunset beach and surfed in at 20:30. Lost my board, but it was worth it.....

 

[OjosMojo]

Desideria the donkey lady, Juarez 1997. She completely changed how I looked at life. I'd like to have that changed back, tyvm.

 

[Killswitch1]

I saw the Hip years ago with a band called Guster I think they were. I have a couple cd's.

We sat first row right next to the speaker towers. The road crew came out and gave us all earplugs. lol

C'mon now, I only made one critical error!

The Tragically Hip. Sheesh.

You'd be a great concert date! I'm short, I always need a boost to see.

Good choice.

DJing too? A Lance fun fact!

I barely remember this band. I think I was in grade school when last I heard them.

Fun story tho...

I expected nothing but from you.

Now that I'm all grown up I dislike floor seating. I don't need to see the sweat on their brows, I just want to listen and dance and enjoy my buzz.

Did you know the Hip started out as a Stones cover band?

I've sat in great seats for a lot of shows and some crap too. Been to 500 concerts.

Best seats ever are front row mezzanine in a theater type show.

Have fun.

I did not.

I do know that Downie was absolutely terrified of being on a horse in the bobcaygen video.

500?

I've lost count and I am only in double digits to the best of my recollection.

This place is a smaller scale, I like it very much.

 

[Lancecastor]

Exactly 500.

What's that smell???

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I worked a lot of the big shows.

I'm even in a Rainmakers video. Woo WHO?

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Don't like crowds all that much, but I never used to like Steve Miller until I spent a day working his show. In sound check, he was all over the band, I thought, what an asshole. However, the show was very well done, tasteful, sounded just like the album cuts and had an understated light show that was pure art. He's still not my favorite, but I really respect his love of the art.

Now for real assholes, you have Emmy Lou Harris and Pavoratti...

I spit on her and piss on his grave.



Good guys: Jim Dandy, the late Robert Goulet, Steven Wright, and most any of the crew of any of the traveling Broadway shows...

I met Jimmy Page and got a waitress fired for asking him to autograph her Tee-shirt...

That's it! Eau de AJ!

 

[spacekowboy]

I would love to see Buddy Guy again and I would love even more to see the Allman Bros get back together and play once more.

C'mon now, I only made one critical error!

Good choice.

I'm an old man concert date. I stay in the back and watch from afar and listen to the actual music.

I know, I know... quaint.

There have been several attempts made by my guy to convert me into a fan of theirs...I tried to tell him it was no use but he wouldn't listen.

You two are kindred spirits.

As well he shouldn't because that is just crazy talk.

I had to google most of those.

Wow is me!

Stupid autocorrect. Woe IS a word!!!!

Thanks.
