Man Machine Poem certainly did mess with the crowd's heads as every time the band played a song from the latest album, all of the fans in the Air Canada Centre went completely silent. Then whenever they played songs from the earlier albums, the crowd sang along. Then went silent again whenever a new song was played. Not sure what the other shows were like - if the fan reactions were similar or if they actually new some of the words to this album - but it was kind of interesting to see 20,000 fans kind of scratching their heads not knowing what to do with this new material being played.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294450257590193930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726118158662006329.post-75649886399234542802016-08-22T20:22:28.157-07:002016-08-22T20:22:28.157-07:00I was fortunate enough to attend the Hip's fin...I was fortunate enough to attend the Hip's final concert in Toronto.
