The Tragically Hip
8-17-1996
The Odeon
Cleveland, OH


"Some kids from grade 6 wrote the Hip a letter, asking
us what "Daredevil" was about, this is called "Gift Shop".
This is sort of what we wrote them back, because you can't
neglect a grade sixer. If you do, you ain't worth shit."

Seed notes:
I used Sound Forge to remove some digi noise. There is some
digi noise in the last 2 tracks on disk 1 that I could not
remove. I think the source is correct, but not positive. Fades
are from the source disk. Tracked on sector boundries using
CD wave, FLAC at level 8.


Show notes:
A very good audience recording from late summer ’96. I just
love some of that “Henhouse” stuff they don’t play anymore,
like “Butts Wigglin’” and “Put It Off”. Great versions of
both were played at this show. Gordie wrote the words to
“Put It Off” on the day his daughter was born, to prove that
words could not touch beauty. This version absolutely pounds!!
The “Meridian” has a long middle jam with Gordie ranting
lyrics from “Poets”, “Vapour Trails”, and the classic
“Radio Show”.  “New Orleans Is Sinking” goes into “Escape Is At Hand”,
full version, with unfinished lyrics, then back into “New Orleans”,
without missing a beat. I always loved the way they would create
new songs right onstage.  Gord Sinclair’s bass was absolutely
pumping, and this recording captures it well.  Our version is
missing the final song of the encore, “Little Bones”, if it was
really played. We decided to seed it anyway, because it is a killer
Hip show, and the only one we have from ’96. Enjoy.

* Gordie asks for respect for the people up front, asks if
everyone is OK. There is a slight pause and restart at the
beginning of the song because of this.
