Notes: Aaaaah Yes! This is what I've been talking about. Little Bones 2nd. No one saw that coming. A nice 1-2 punch with Love Is A First. Beautiful. NOIS deep in the 2nd set. Fine. If you're gonna play it every night, might as well move it around. Fully Completely back in the encore is very nice too. Tour breakout for The Kids Don't Get It. In View not played as well and it looks like things worked out OK.

Tragically Hip Tour Stat Pack Vol. 4

Pin It Now!

v.4 Stats are from 04/24/2009 - 10/03/2009 (66 shows)

We Are the Same

Total Plays:

1. The Depression Suite(65) - Only show not played was 4/29/2009. 31 of 66 shows have opened with this masterpiece.
2. Morning Moon(62) - 53 of 52 have come in the first set. Has shown up in the acoustic portion 3 times since Sept 7th.
3. Love Is A First(60) - 49/60 have either been as a 1st set opener or closer. Did appear in the Encore slot in 3 of 6 shows from July 23rd -Aug 5th.
4. The Last Recluse(58) - 27 first sets, 30 second sets (including 2 acoustic), 1 encore. Who are you? Drop me a line if you've got something to say. mrjackstraw@gmail.com or add a comment anywhere you like.
5. Coffee Girl(52) - 18 of the past 26 shows have been acoustic (including 12 straight). Only 1 appearance however in the final 5 shows on the Canadian tour.
6. Now the Struggle has a Name(49) - 14 first sets, 27 second sets, 8 encores. From July 23rd - Sept 7th, Struggle only appeared once in 9 shows. Has not appeared in the 1st set in 28 shows.
7. Frozen In My Tracks(40) - Didn't show up in the set list until 4/29/2009 making Frozen the last song to be played live on this tour from WATS. 5 first sets, 16 second sets, 19 encores.
8. Honey, Please(22) - Only played in 6 of the last 26 shows. 5 of those were in the 2nd set.
9. Queen of the Furrows(21) - "This song is picking up momentum". That was my quote from the last Stat Pack 2. I recanted in Stat Pack 3, but now I'm recanting the recant. 7 of 18, which is High Times for the Queen. A good song that along with Honey Please and Country Day, deserves more concert play.
10. The Exact Feeling(18) - 6 of the last 26. Hey, at least it's getting dusted off. That's more than I can say for the 2 songs below. I didn't even need to change my comments from last time.
11. Speed River (11) - Speed River has froze over. 0 for the last 41.
12. Country Day (7) - I guess it was swimming in the Speed River when it froze over. Already a rarity. Too bad.

Now the Struggle has a Name - 1

Notes: NOIS has opened the last 13/26 shows. Not an ideal bathroom break spot, but feel free to linger outside a bit longer or to take some extra time for your indulgences. I can't believe how much they play this song. I mean if you have to why not flop positions with Blow at High Dough every once in a while. Walk out on stage and open with Blow. Why not? No one will see that coming. Then you can get off to NOIS in a one song EPIC encore. Old school style. I'm not even going to bring up Courage...

***********************************************************************************
First Set Closers

14 different songs have sent you off for a piss and some beer. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!

Love Is A First - 36

Frozen In My Tracks - 1

My Music at Work - 1
New Orleans Is Sinking - 1

Three Pistols - 1

If you can get 3:1 odds that Love won't open the show, you gotta take it. You will lose this bet over 1/2 the time, but when you win it will be worth it. Just sayin'...you're there, might as well place a bet or two to pass the time.

***********************************************************************************

Only 9 different songs have been awarded this coveted spot with Grace, Too being the latest song to join the list.

Tour Break & Fantasy Sports

Pin It Now!

Well, The Hip are on a little break before the begin another trip down south. There are no more Canadian dates scheduled at the moment, but I think it's safe to say we were treated to some spectacular shows and set lists north of the border.

I will definitely be updating the tour stats shortly (before the American leg begins) and it should be fun analyzing the data. Especially with the new set list additions on the second part of the "Evening with...."

I know some of you are hockey fans as well as fans other sports. I myself am the commissioner of a fantasy hockey league I run for my buddies. We use it as a way to keep in touch and talk shit to each other with a purpose. It's great for us since we a spread across Canada and into a few other countries.

Lately though I have also been playing on Fantasy Sports Live. They actually run daily fantasy match-ups where you can pick your hockey team based on that day's games. You can play against 1, 3, 5, or 9 other people and the winner takes it down. CHeck it out if you're into fantasy sports. They also run NFL, NASCAR and MLB Playoffs.
