Love Is The Hundredth Giftshop, Curse A Meridian
As of Saturday, I have seen The Tragically Hip play live 13 times- that’s 1 more than I’ve seen Alanis Morissette- which means they now hold the trophy as the Most Prolific Live Artist In My Life. I’m sure Gord would love knowing that.
I’ve seen a lot of concerts, and only really bother writing about the exceptional ones, but wow- The Hip at the NAC on Saturday was hands-down one of the best shows I’ve attended. Mid-sized venue, great seats, the usual antics, ringing ears the next day (I didn’t need that auditory spectrum, anyhow), and one horrendous case of vertigo (my left ear is telling my brain I’m falling to the right, which causes me to fall to the left trying to compensate) today: All the hallmarks of a great live concert!
