The Tragically Hip: An October 28th History

Pin It Now!



I'm currently working on a database that will make this type of stuff much easier. Both you and me will be able to log our own stats or look up and analyze venue stats, city stats and calendar stats just to name a few. As a matter of just screwing around, I decided to pull up a Hip History of today: October 28th.

The most recent Oct. 28th Tragically Hip setlist found the boys basking in sunny Southern California which is where I happen to find myself these days. Solona Beach is a beach town (no-shit, right?) just north of San Diego. The Belly-Up is a popular live music venue that holds between 1-2K people and attracts many well known bands all days of the week. The 2009 tour was one of my favorites with 2 set shows and keyboards adding that extra layer of texture.

Set I: Love Is A First, New Orleans Is Sinking, Twist My Arm, It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken, Fireworks, Morning Moon, Courage (For Hugh Maclennan), Coffee Girl, Family Band, At The Hundredth Meridian, The Depression Suite

I like to think that this little run of multi-night shows at small venues in the fall of 2006 inspired what was to come in 2009. The 2006 setlist were pretty sweet as the band was drawing from all eras. Oh, and there was the return of that one song... what's it called?... Oh yeah, Thirty-Eight Years Old. Although it wasn't played this Oct 28th night in Calgary (11/01/2006), fans were treated to a preview of what would become the setlist template for the World Container Tour of 2007.

Boot Pub
Whistler, BC
10/28/2003


This night features an undocumented setlist which is always a shame. The Hip played 2 shows at this small Whistler venue ahead of the release of 'In Between Evolution'. It has to be assumed that a lot of the material played either ended up on 'In Between Evolution' or was being considered for the album. The album was also recorded at nearby Studio X in Seattle, WA.

Keyboards? Check. Two sets? Check. The 2000 Music @ Work Tour. There were so many songs played on this tour. It was incredible. Sure this setlist features the usual suspects, but a show with Emperor Penguin, Stay, Membership, Greasy Jungle & Lake Fever together. Think you'll see that again?

1995. What The Hip were doing in 1995 was amazing. Their sound was awesome. Powerful. Gord's voice was intact. It was Rock & Roll pure and simple. I love what The Hip have done since 1995 and before for that matter, but I hold 1995 Tragically Hip in fairly high regard. If you haven't ever or it's been a while... Live '95... find it, play it.

Some Cordelia For Ya...

Pin It Now!


After some fun with Cordelia Lyrics on the Facebook Page yesterday I thought I would dig up a couple of Gems from back in the day. Since the band is about to go on the road we fans are bursting with expectations and hopes... especially regarding what the setlists might hold. 

The past 2 summers of mini-tours have brought us unprecedented cookie-cutter setlists from The Hip which after the epic 2009 two-set, deep cut monster setlists has been a bit of a disappointment. What those awesome setlists from 2009 did not give us however, was a Cordelia. Here's hoping that there's a few versions of this beautiful song in our very near future... Enjoy!
