**********************************************

Due to the troubles I had open taping the night before, and thanks to the message the band's official Facebook page put out earlier that day, I decided to tape from my seat. Here's the message:
"The Man Machine Poem Tour returns for a second show in Vancouver tonight! Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 8:30 sharp.
Please note throughout the Man Machine Poem Tour, concert attendees are welcome to shoot photographs and take video footage from their seats with hand-held, non-professional cameras (No DSLR cameras or cameras with removable lenses). Audience members are also permitted to record audio of the show, but from the position of a ticketed seat only and any equipment being utilized must not obstruct or inhibit the experience of any other patron. We are unable to accommodate requests for audio, video, or photographs from the sound board unless accredited through media organizations. Thank you and enjoy the show!"

I was definitely disappointed that I wouldn't be getting as nice a recording as I felt that Gord's legacy deserved but it wasn't going to stop me from getting a good tape and enjoying the show. Thankfully, I was able to get both. I only taped 2 stereo pairs instead of my usual 3 stereo pairs I record at most TTH shows so decided to use a pair of omnis as well as a pair of cards just to ensure I got some variety. Luckily those around me were pretty good.

I personally felt that this show was better than the first Vancouver show 2 nights earlier. The crowd was just as enthusiastic, though and the band was rocking it. The amount of mutual love between the band members to each other and towards the audience as well as the love from the audience was monumental and practically palpable. You can hear it in this recording.

The fact that this was going to be my 21st and final Tragically Hip show really started to hit home. I hope you enjoy this recording as much as I loved being there.

No compression was used in the post-processing of this recording to preserve it's dynamic range, listenability and authenticity.
This recording will naturally sound much better cranked up loud with quality headphones!
Peace & enjoy,
