Pemberton Festival: The Tragically Hip

July 27th, 2008

Since I just took pictures of The Hip a month ago at Virgin Festival Calgary (see?), I decided to take a different approach this time around. Gord’s got his primate routine that he pulls out in song three, during which he comes to the edge of the stage, and if you’re in the right spot you can get amazing shots of him. So I planted myself in front of a space between two speakers and I WAITED.

85% of the other picture takers were on the other side, and Gord put on a top-notch performance for them…

But then (after breaking a microphone stand and spinning it around), he loomed above me.

And then he jumped off the stage and made his way to the audience…

…and planted a big wet one on a dude in the crowd!

And I was pretty much the only person on the right side to get it all, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Muh-huhuhu ha. Aaaah. Ahem.
