Hey Folks,

I've been cruising Youtube trying to figure out one performance I can show a bunch of friends to turn them on to the hip. It's a hard deal, because they haven't heard the hip (at least not extensively) before, and attention span, like any good 20something, is short.

Anyhow, I thought I'd come to you friends as a sounding board for what you think would be some of the best performances to lure in new fans. I'm open to just about anything, although I do caution that our ears are trained to find the hidden melody's in the muffled audio of live recordings, and I think a more crisp audio is a pre-req.

Here's my current thought, but I have a few more: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOeKMaqnr0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOeKMaqnr0</a><!-- m -->

Merci. Thanks Folks for your input.

my vote goes to New Orleans Is Sinking (w/ Nautical Disaster) :thumb:

"No Canadian band, no Canadian musician would be complete without a song about a nautical disaster. This song is called... Nautical Disaster"

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I have found ICBNEN to be a good start for friends. It's modern and catchy with an opening lyric that grabs peoples attention. The video is a cool introduction to the band and the Bathouse.


It can't be Nashville every night

For a live vid I use Kids at the Moore. From the white spot light on Paul to the beat up theater, this video captures the essence of the Hip.

Gord seems to be shouting, rather than singing the lyrics.

I second the NOIS/Nautical vid.
