The Tragically Hip - LIVE

Ok, there are only a few people that might be interested in this, but The Tragically Hip are making available downloads of recent shows (for a fee, of course). But if you've had a hankerin' for some new LIVE Hip music, and haven't been able to go to a concert recently (and yes, I fall into both those categories), then this is perfect for you.

LIVEDOWNLOADS | The Tragically Hip

I found the link from the Hip's own website, so they are behind all of this. Of course, I wouldn't post about it unless I've already tried it. :-) The sound quality is great - these are not bootlegs by any means. They even have PDF files of the CD covers and cover art so you can make a "professional" looking CD of the MP3s (or FLAC files for those who want lossless compression), using Nero or something.

The cost is ~ $9.99 for a complete concert (~25 songs = 2 CDs worth), and they have concerts from TO, London, and Ottawa. I got the Canada-Day show in TO ("O-Canada" sung by the Hip - ). "Hundreth Meridian" is as awesome live as ever.
