We are PUMPED! We're here in Detroit awaiting your arrival tonight at COBO Arena. Last time we seen you was at Chene Park and it was an awesome show, but I bet a place like that is just too small for a mega band like the Hip! It was a cool night. We look forward to seeing you, and hearing Henhouse live. We know you're Canadians, but I believe we're all part of one big family, and we love you in Detroit as much as anywhere else. Good luck on your tour and keep rocking! ***

Dear TTH, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for a great show at Cobo Hall in Detroit on November 23rd. The hits were plentiful and you guys looked like you enjoyed yourself. Even when that guy jumped up on stage Gordie didn't freak out, he even put out his arm around him. That was cool. A special thanks to Gord Sinclair who took time out before the show to sign a few autographs for my friends and I. And thanks to the rest of the band for finally coming out of the arena and onto the tour bus were I got to say hello to you and shoot the breeze. Thanks to Dave Powell also. My friends can't believe I met The Tragically Hip. ***

Heh! Let me tell you about the last two days. Unbeknownst to the twelve students in Michigan who travelled to Chicago to see your concert, it was CANCELLED! When I arrived at the Aragon on Friday night to hear some less than friendly man tell us you weren't going to be there, I could honestly say I felt like a kid that was just told Christmas was cancelled. That night we tried to make the best of Chicago hitting the bars but I knew that I had to see you guys. Somehow we found out that you were playing in Detroit on Saturday. A sparkle of hope ignited me! After one phone call, we learned that there were tickets left and that we could get all our money back from the forgotten Chicago trip. Bye-bye Chi-town! I-94 was smoking hot as we drove like mad-men to reach Cobo Hall in time. I can happily say I saw everyone of your songs that you performed and it was so awesome. I loved it!!! It was the best that I've seen. Electrified audience completely moved! Thank-you! ***

I am a rather new Tragically Hip fan. I saw you guys at Cobo Arena in Detroit MI, and wanted to say good job. Songs were tight as hell, harmonies were good - it was a great show! Our whole band went, minus the drummer (because he's lame and never does anything with us) I usually hate big shows like that, but yours was exceptional!! PS We're really into Canadian music - We sort of sound like Sloan/Odds, but more country. Jeremy and the Next Big Nothing. ***

Thank YOU !!!!! For a GREAT show at Cobo..... Been a Hip fan for many years, but NEVER made it to a show till now !!!!! All I can say is, "YOU GUYS RULE"....... A great show. Brought along a cousin who had heard only a few TH songs (his loss), but now he's a total Hip'ster !!! By the second song, he was hooked.... Thanks again for the GREAT show !!!! Rock ON!!!!!!! ***

Just wanted to congratulate The Hip on a great show at Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on November 23rd. This was the second time I've seen The Hip, the last being in 1993 at Chene Park in Detroit. You really make the ticket price worth the money. The only thing that bothers me is, I wish you wouldn't be so far and few between stops in Detroit. I was going to go to your show at Toledo, OH this past summer, but I got called out of town on business. So when I heard you were coming to Detroit, I think I was the 10th guy in line at Joe Louis Arena to get tickets that day. I definitely wasn't passing The Hip up this time, no matter business trip or not. So, again, congratulations on a great show, my wife and I had a superb time. We have all your CD's, and rock to you guys at least once a week. Thank you very much. PS - PLEASE DON'T BE STRANGERS TO DETROIT !!! ***

Saw the concert @ COBO hall in Detroit. Excellent as usual! Can’t wait til you come around again. ***

I just had to write and say that you guys totally rocked at Cobo Hall on Saturday night. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. Keep up the good work. ***

Hi there, I just wanted to congratulate you guys on putting on an excellent show on Saturday Nov. 23 in Detroit. I still prefer seeing you guys perform outdoors but even indoors the show is still amazing. The Rheostatics were also quite good. I only knew of a view songs they did but I was impressed along with my friends. Well thought I would write to tell you that (not like you guys don't receive plenty of mail like this). ***

Hi! Nice seeing you guys at my old stomping grounds, the wonderful Cobo in the Motor City. nice to see a crowd that sings along to each and every song, even the "new" ones !!! ***

Hope the tour moves along nicely, everybody stays healthy, and have a great holiday season. Looking forward to the nest time you get over to Southwest Michigan....remember, Radio X in Kalamazoo REALLY supports the hip, playing stuff from all the releases! ***

Hi guys!! Loved the Detroit show.....hearing "Scared", "Blow" & "Courage" definitely made it for me!!! ***

Just thought I'd write to say that the concert was really good. I really liked when some guy from the front row jumped on stage and began to sing along with Gord. Gord didn't even seem to care that it was someone from the crowd, it was as if he was a backup singer. When the bouncers finally reached the guy they laughed and let him back to his seat in the front section. Not a bad story to tell your friends, let alone your grandchildren. ***

I have just returned from my trip to Detroit, and your concert at Cobo. It was awesome. I went with three of my friends and they all agree. I really enjoyed the sound quality you guys gave us. The energy you displayed was incredible. You maybe able to tell this was my first concert of yours I've seen. One of my buddies has seen you now four times. Too bad they ran out of beer at 10:00. Anyway thought I'd let you guys know that the show was great, and I can't wait till your next tour. ***

Just arrived back from a weekend road trip to Detroit. The Cobo show left all 10 of us in awe. Now searching frantically for tickets to one of the Toronto shows. One can only hope. Gotta check your website for the set lists so I can see the names of the new songs you played. Thanks again for a great show. ***

A special thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write us over the years...
