Setlist via Stuff & Nonsense Blog and also via his Twitter feed @snjohns. Check it out, give a follow, etc, etc. Cheers!

Can't remember the last time I saw Bobcaygeon that far north in the setlist. Anyway, another standard festival style hits type of deal. It's nice that Gems is there. I've always thought it would make a good opener with its quiet slow build-up, but what the fuck do I know. Standard issue. Stay on the path. DO NOT divert...

I was contacted by someone from the organization responsible for this show to take down the password that allowed fans to purchase tickets. I guess this was supposed to be a private event... Hopefully some of you were able to infiltrate...

The Tragically Hip Autograph Guitar for Charity Auction

Original Article from Kingston Herald
Courtney Hart

This week only, an acoustic Yamaha guitar signed by members of Kingston’s The Tragically Hip is being auctioned off to raise money for the “War Child” organization.

The band played a series of shows over the Canada Day weekend, including a sold out fan club show at the Jackson Triggs Estate Winery, and massive festivals in Niagara-On-The-Lake (pictured) and at Burl’s Creek. During that run of shows, The Hip signed the guitar for War Child which is now open for bidding on eBay.

The Tragically Hip – often referred to as “The Hip” – was formed in Kingston in 1983 and features Gordon Downie on lead vocals and guitar, Rob Baker and Paul Langlois on guitar, Gord Sinclair on bass, and Johnny Fay on drums.

Since the group began creating music together, they have released 12 studio albums, 2 live albums, and 46 singles. The Hip have received numerous Canadian Music awards, including 14 Juno Awards. A new studio album is set to go on sale in the fall of 2012, and features the recently released single “At Transformation”.

War Child Canada was established in 1999 and is an internationally recognized, award-winning charity known for its outstanding global programming and global reach. It works with children in some of the most devastated regions of the world to reduce the effects of poverty, provide an education and to defend and promote child rights.

Mean Streak - Lyrics

Pin It Now!

Last played: 2006/06/18 Guelph, ON
Debut: 2004/06/23 Calgary, AB
Notes: Mean Streak has been played only once live since the 2004 IBE Tour and only 27 times in total.

Is it a mean streak
you'd swear you'd swear
we never seen a stranger around here
is it the way the dust clings to the air
but You'd swear you'd swear

Is it a mean streak
a desolation sound
a copy of bizarro but nothing's that far down
a mean streak on a western swing
on TV saying the damnedest thing

Meanstreak
you'd swear you'd swear
we've never seen a stranger around here
it's the way the dust clings to the air
after a strangers been there
you'd swear you'd swear

Is it a mean streak
to a certain degree
come whistling down the crookedest street
a mean streak in the ghost state
between the certain and the hesitating

a meanstreak
you'd swear you'd swear
we've never seen a stranger around here
it's the way the dust clings to the air
after the strangers been here
you'd swear you'd swear

was that you there?
that was you there
was that you there?
that was you there

The sssh sound in the bottoms of their boots
on the tops of the grass
as the hay-wagon
rolled past
and I'd swear I'd swear
the way the dust clings to the air
after the stranger's been there
I'd swear I'd swear
that that was you there

Gord Downie w/The Sadies at Boots & Hearts Festival

Pin It Now!

The Boots & Hearts Festival is taking place at Mosport Speedway in Bowmanville, ON from Aug 10-12, 2012. It's being billed as a 'Country Music Festival', but Lionel Richie is playing so...

What Is Boots & Hearts? (From website)

Boots and Hearts is the largest country music festival of its kind ever to be hosted on Canadian soil. Its a three-day celebration of music and art where music lovers of all genres can escape from the rigors of daily life, band together with thousands of other country music fans and experience a once-in-a-lifetime event that they will never forget. With more than 20 bands, ranging from global superstars to emerging artists, Boots and Hearts will offer an eclectic mix of country music styles. And just when other music festivals call it a night, we ramp the party up with nightly after-parties. Work Hard. Play Harder. That’s Boots and Hearts!

Line-Up

In addition to Gord playing with The Sadies on Aug 12, 2012 other artists at the festival include: Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Alabama, Paul Brandt, Sheryl Crow, Terri Clark, Kevin Costner, etc, etc...

Tickets

$220 gets you in for the whole weekend. $115 gets you any single day. It's extra for camping (tent). It's extra if you want to camp near your car. It's extra if you want 2 cars near your tent. It's extra if you want a ticket to get a hot shower. Yep. All of that is taxed at 13% as well. I could do some digging around to see what fees will be piled on top of all that, but I don't want to be all Doom & Gloom.

TICKET INFO HERE

CAMPING INFO HERE

Is there a VIP pass? You fuckin' bet there is! Will it be the debacle that most outdoor Canadian Festival VIP Passes turn out to be? Let's hope so. I hate to see good solid streaks come to an end. VIP packages range between $500 - $900 for the weekend and pretty much ensure that the best sightlines and areas where the bands can feed off the energy of the crowd will be filled with a bunch of LAME-Os. You can use the lower level of the Air Canada Centre during Maple Leaf's games as a reference point if you like.

Anyway, here the link to that Bull-Shit.

They've got a nice website. I'll give 'em that.
