I almost passed out as did a couple others.
 Good show.
 Sam Roberts - ugh.

I guess you're one of those hipsters.
 
 Oh, he DEFINITELY sucks, if you're a cooler-than-thou hipster that only like bands that Mojo, Q, and Pitchfork like.
 
 But if you like straight ahead, energetic rock and roll, then he's f**king amazing.

I liked what I saw of Sam Roberts.
 
 He opened for someone else a while back (TSOOL maybe?) and I remember being thoroughly unimpressed at the time.  But I thought he was good on Saturday.

Huh?
 I thought they were terrible, let's just leave it at that.

the first song or two by him were kind of strange...then i got the John Cougar Mellencamp vibe from him, then i thought he just rocked out.  a lot of energy, the band jived well together.  and really a perfect opener for the Hip.  live, they come across much better than thier CD.
 
 
  and i like Q magazine.

I'm just messing with you.
 Those were x-canuck's comments about Sam Roberts.
 I've never heard them, but my hunch is that I would agree with you.

 *sigh* Three weeks off before we go to Burlington, Albany, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Grand Rapids, Toledo, and finally a show in Ottawa. Nothing like a Hip tour.    

what job do you have that you can do that?
 
  and at $25 a piece!

  Definitely a great show. We were right up against the rail and Gord was a dripping wet machine. I've never seen anyone sweat the way he does.
 

what side of the stage were you on?

You've obviously never been to an Old 97's show.

I only caught the last half of Roberts, but I agree on the band being tight and rocking out.
 
 As for the perspiration, even from my vantage point upstairs, you could see a steady stream of sweat coming off Downie's hands and arms.

We were on the right hand side (as you face the stage)...right in front of Gord Sinclair and Rob Baker. I was the East Indian guy with the shoulder length hair and my wife was the Irish redhead. Yeah....we stick out in a crowd
