Cogito-I agree however to be fair what made Zep so great was the rate that they matured as songwriters and arrangers and the diversity of their material. They have left a stunning back catalogue
Mes - I'd really like to see Tragically Hip live. I haven't seen any sign of them touring in the last couple years, though with their recent release they may be out doing so now. Some of their stuff strikes me the same way as the Rainmakers - don't know if you're familiar with them because most of their CDs have to be ordered internationally, but I have seen them live to great satisfaction.
Kthomas-The Hip tour nearly incessantly, however it's usually not heavily advertised and at small venues-unless it's in Canada where they sell out stadiums. They've only just started to catch on in the US, although where I'm from in the Cleveland area, they're huge and I've been catching them yearly since 91. Lately, they've been here twice yearly. Check out www.thehip.com for info and concert schedules etc. They are truly one of the best and most entertaining shows on the road. Gordie lives in his own universe on stage, and the musicianship is impeccable. I think they're on hiatus presently, but an album should be forthcoming with the tour to ensue. Catch em if you can. Check the website out sometime. Mark
Kthomas, where do you live? I live in the Philadephia, PA area, and The Tragically Hip play here often. I have seen them open up for some pretty diverse company. Even Eric Johnson... Hopefully, you can find them close to you.
Bob Dylan, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Cream, Beatles, Hendrix, Small Faces, Grateful Dead, The Band, The Doors, Velvet Underground and Dylan again.
