Well, I bumped into this recording on SoundCloud while I was messing about. I listened to it and now I'm sharing it with all of you. It's from the Sasquatch Music Festival back in 2006 and The Hip played on the Saturday about mid-way on the bill. Ben Harper headlined that night and The Flaming Lips (awesome live act) were on right before Ben. Anyway, right before The Hip came on stage a huge hail storm blew through and it actually forced Neko Case off the stage. It was up-in-the-air whether or not the show would continue. I did and what we have is this nice, crisp recording of The Hip's set...
Setlist: Grace Too*, The Lonely End Of The Rink, Nautical Disaster, The Drop-Off, Courage, Fly, Fully Completely, Poets
* thehip.com lists 'As Makeshift As We Are' as the opening track. This is incorrect.
This show was at the beginning of what I think was a fairly prolific period of live shows for The Hip. Setlist diversity during the summer of 2006 and into the fall was up there with the best it's ever been...
Enjoy!
Don't forget you can follow us and hang with the other HipHeads on both Facebook and Twitter.
