The Tragically Hip - 1999/07/24 - Rome, NY - Woodstock '99 
==========================================================

Show notes:

Here's another legendary performance from the Hip. This source comes from the 
PPV feed. It was cleaned up to eliminate any dropouts and other audio 
abnormalities. Other versions exist which have crowd noise mixed in at 
various points. There were also some FM rebroadcasts, as well as the early, 
widely circulated audience recording, all of which were deemed inferior to 
varying degrees. This was the cleanest, best sounding version we could find. 
That said, the version used was taken from a 256Kbps MP3. If a better-quality 
version becomes available, we will happily post an upgrade. It does seem that 
most sources were taken from the same audio feed, as they all have the missing 
bass in the first half of Grace, Too. Thankfully, the mix gets better as the 
show goes on. Many thanks to all who helped by sharing their various versions 
for evaluation; the whole Hip community benefits in the end!

The pictures used for the CD artwork were chosen to highlight the Hip's 
performance that morning, including the famous point in Courage where Gord 
lays himself down across the dolly tracks and says "Tie me up, it adds to the 
drama!" The band photo provides an unusual perspective emphasizing Johnny on 
the drumkit, with a good view of the size and scope of the event in the 
background. There's even an image of the stage setlist and a nice shot of Gord 
soaking in the love from the Canadian contingent in the crowd.
