That's kind of what I expect, but I'm pretty ok with it. I keep thinking it might be different and loaded with more obscure songs because it's obviously a special tour, but I also can't imagine rehearsing is all that easy for them right now.

Exactly, but you never know, they might throw a bone now and again.

Personally I love the greatest hits; they don't call 'em "Yer Favourites" for nothing.

Yeah, but it's also their last shows so maybe they will play the stuff they want to play for a change. (I posted this in the wrong thread somehow)

I hope your right. Either way, enjoy yourselves!

Reading this stuff still gets me all choked up.

Tour kicks off tonight. I'm really interested to see what they play.

These shows have been great so far. Loving the way their putting the sets together and they've sounded great on the periscope feeds I've caught of them so far. Can't wait for the first Calgary show it's going to be an emotional one. Managed to get some great seats for it too.

Spoke with people who saw Sunday and Tuesdays shows. Pretty much across the board feedback of the newer music puts a big lull in the set early on. But everyone loves how the're grouping songs from albums and the opening salvo of songs is amazing. Crowds are off the chart too. Just enthusiastic, happy people who are so appreciative. Pretty much everyone tears up during during Ahead By A Century when Gord sings "No dress rehearsal, this is our lives". Tears an a roar from the audience. I know I would tear up during that line.
I would love the final how ends with Ahead By A Century.

You've got to download the app to your phone and then you can watch any live feeds from wherever. I don't know how you find specific stuff to look at within the app itself as all I've ever done is be taken there from a link on a forum or facebook or whatever.

I think I might try and hit the calgary shows. A little worried about finding camping etc., especially at the tail end of the long weekend.

Live in edmonton now...

I truly enjoyed that, thanks so much! I'd love any other links you might share as the tour continues.

Speaking of the tour, is there anyone attending that might be willing to buy a poster for me? I'd Paypal you the cost and shipping. Or I could trade one of my Pearl Jam posters for it.

No worries, just copy/pasted the link. I'm sure there'll be streams for future shows as well, at least I hope so. I found that stream through the forum at hipbase but have since figured out that it's easy to find them using the map in periscope.

Final show is tonight.... sad and excited to watch.

Heading to a bar to watch this tonight. I know I will tear up once or twice for sure. Like the fool I, I am going there with a girl on a first date. Who chooses a date where he'll cry during it.

The way Bruce Springsteen is engrained in New Jersey and New Jersey is engrained in Bruce's songs, The Hip is like that for Canada.

"Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night.
No dress rehearsal, this is our life."

"If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
If they bury me some place I don't want to be
You'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously
Away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees
Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity
And lower me slowly and sadly and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy"

For those outside of Canada , you'll be able to watch here
