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.
Ben_Cambell, yup, I agree. Trelja, the coupling of The Tragically Hip and Eric Johnson sounds interesting (although I am not too familiar with the Hip). :) By the way, what does Eric Johnson play in live these days? Thanks in advance....
Trelja.Philadelphia?? A Jersey Shore kind of guy?? Somers Point? Margate? The Dunes at 5am?? 1972-75 a fabulous bar band: The Sky Band!!!! Did you see them???? T-Bar on McDade Blvd? Tower Theatre??Mann Music Center?? Academy of Music?? Saw Billy Joel in 1974 at the Academy one of the best rock/pop concerts because of the acoustics. I forgot the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, saw THE BEST CONCERT THERE:MUDDY WATERS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! Sorry to say even better than my beloved Yardbirds. Did you sample the Yardbirds latest??? Sorry about the demise of WFLN?? What is it now the Point or something??
