Getting pumped for The Hip
On Tuesday evening, the Tragically Hip played the second show of a six-night run inside Toronto's fabled Massey Hall.
Earlier that day, a few of your faithful Buffalo News music freaks scurried north to spend the afternoon with Hip vocalist Gord Downie before settling in to watch a marathon, often-sublime twin-set show from the band.
My interview with the delightful, intellectually generous Downie will run in the Spotlight section of The News on May 31st, prior to the Hip's four-night run at Artpark in Lewiston beginning June 2nd.
To help get you psyched for the group's arrival, we've created a slide show of Bill Wippert's photos documenting the Massey Hall show. Check it out, then scroll down for the complete twin-set list from Tuesday's gig.
