I feel like Scared just might be the final song they play in Kingston.
I agree, great show last night. I was also there. Going Monday in Calgary, too.
I'm very surprised there hasn't been any Nautical Disaster yet.

That concert was one of the most, if not THE most, amazing experiences of my life. Just such an incredible atmosphere.

Any idea why they haven't played 38 years old?

Just looking at some stats, that song seems to be a rarity for them to do live. Small Town Bringdown is even more rare.
Would love to hear either of them honestly

Tonight's the night. My emotions are a bizarre blend of anticipation and sadness.
Gotta forget the sadness.

Sorry for the crap picture...
These were the items for sale inside Rexall:
Plus the tour poster and hip stickers, which I didnt get a pic of...
There was also a booth outside the stadium, not sure if it was legit or not, had completely different merchandise, so I suspect it wasn't... Didn't get a pic, nor saw anything I liked from it...

If you mean the Bang On t-shirt stand, yes that is official.

Start time is 8:30pm sharp, correct? Almost seems a little late if there is an intermission?

It looks like they've released a bunch of last minute tickets throughout the building.

Heading downtown, so excited, but weirdly nervous.
Wearing a Hip concert t-shirt I bought late 80's early 90's (can't remember, I am old)
It still fits, sort of.
I think i bought it at the Silver Dollar action center! As someone mentioned much earlier in the thread, just an incredible concert there. Saw them twice, so much fun.
My dream set list:
Small town bringdown
Blow at high dough, new orleans is sinking, she didnt know, when the weight comes down, trickle down
Little bones, 3 pistols, on the verge
Courage, 100th Meridian, Locked in the trunk of a car, 50 mission cap, wheat kings
Grace, Too, Nautical Disaster, Scared, Greasy Jungle
Ahead By a Century
Poets, Something On, Bobcaygeon, Fireworks
My Music at Work
It's a good life if you don't weaken.
I only spent the last two days listening to World Container and Man Machine Poem; so I didn't put anything new on my list. ("new to me meaning post In Violet Light)

The intermissions are very brief. Basically just enough time for Gord to change his clothes.

The lines for merch were insanely long, which is funny, because I think you can buy it all online. The people beside me even left partway through the show to line up for merch, and they didn't show up gain until after Courage, which means they missed that insane pop. I don't get it.
I also hope we didn't overhype the show for you all. It really was incredible, though. You should have fun.

Picked up a tour T-shirt and a Tragically Hip wordmark T-shirt with "Calgary" and the date on the back for an extra $5.
Oh man. I'm feeling all the feelings tonight.
