If they can manage to stay away from their last couple albums, it should be a good concert.

I know i'll get lynched for this, but I will never understand the popularity of "The Hip"
Same goes for the Barenaked Ladies...
They make a few good songs but just the way they are treated as some kind of gift from the gods to Canada bewilders me.
BEWILDERS!

I know that alot of people don't care for the Hip, and that's fair, I happen to thing they write pretty good songs
and back in the late 80s/early 90s when I first became interested in them, their albums and live shows were certainly alot better than much of what I was seeing at the time
they have certainly 'suffered' from overplay on the radio, some songs at least

Phantom Power was good but no where near trouble at the henhouse.
that album is such a huge part of my "wonder years" just fantastic.

It is a little different seeing them as these iconic Canadian bands when I first saw them doing the campus circuit. (BNL opened for Corky & the Juice Pigs)

I agree. I've never been much of a fan. When you add to the mix that almost every radio station in the city overplays them, it makes me unable to stand them. But to each their own I guess.

You can't truely appreciate the Hip unless you've seen them live. Those who have know what I mean. Those who haven't won't understand what all the fuss is about.

I agree. I wasn't much of a fan until I won free tickets about 10 years ago. After that I went (out of my way) to two more concerts (besides buying a couple of albums).
I don't think they're overplayed. At least they have more than one song (54-40).
