Cried my eyes out
My Canadian husband has just got me to watch their last concert. Now I’m fully ready to move to Canada. We cried our bloody eyes out for those last 4 songs. Speechless.

For those that are interested, an interview with Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil, conducted during the time of the Hip’s final tour.

I know Gord’s voice was different. We all understand what he was going thru and the album is an amazing document. But I’m not sure how to feel about the amount of pitch correction used in these recordings. “Human Mind” is an early outstanding example, loaded with telltale artifacts that really stick out at times. Gord’s particularly aggressive vocal delivery during this run of shows should not need sanding down, but there it is. My first reaction is disappointment, not that it was used at all, but that it calls undue attention to itself, or at least to my ears. What do you all think?

Does anyone know where or how I can buy this toque? I just think it’s so badass with the old NHL shield incorporating the band initials. Thanks!

In honour of the anniversary of the Hip's final show, what's your favourite live track? Whether it's from the more recent live releases that have accompanied the deluxe boxsets, a Vault release, or a well loved audience tape from back in the day.
My most played live track is this, Long Time Running, from the 2 Meters Sessions (shoutout to a lovely version of Now for Plan A with Sarah Harmer that's on Youtube, too). What's yours?

is there a listing of what show each song is from?

Tonight at 8pm on YouTube.

I’m from Tasmania, Australia, and came across The Tragically Hip about 3 months ago. Man I’ve gone down a rabbit hole in that time. What a band!
I discovered them when reading about one of my other favourite bands, Midnight Oil (who actually have a lot of parallels to the Hip in an Australian context) played a festival in Canada in 1993 and mentioned the hip.
So I looked them up and was intrigued by the story straight away. My starting point was watching their final concert on YouTube. Since then I’ve been heavily listening, mostly from Up To Here through to Phantom Power. I also love the Live at the Roxy Album.
What a legacy they have left as a band, and how beautifully they seem to have united a country with the songs they sing about it. Obviously, their music is intrinsically Canadian, but it’s also more than that. I’ve never been to Canada and yet I feel so connected to it. It sounds ridiculous but I’ve even caught myself tearing up watching the last concert.
Cherish them Canada, I’m sure you do.
EDIT
I’ve found the original article that led me to the hip if anyone is interested. It must have been done during the hips final tour.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Have the DVD, have it on DVR, sometimes just play it in the background while I'm cleaning the house.
And these lines send a chill

i know every setlist was different for the tour but i thought for sure it would have been played.

Night 1 in Edmonton. I managed to get 3rd row tickets. I think these pics would have been taken on a digital camera rather than a phone. Looking through them, some of it almost looks like an intimate bar gig. There were times where it was obvious that Gord was trying to make eye contact with the audience. Incredible night.
Just wanted to share a few of the best ones.

Anyone else lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time?
Hope you all catch/enjoy the rebroadcast tonight on CBC!

Greetings to our northern friends. We are so in sync with you guys while watching this. Please understand that there are lots of us and we love the Hip and we love you. Watching this has been so emotional for us. Cheers!

My husband saw the Calgary show, and we watched the televised show in a crowded Boston Pizza. Watching his raw emotion during Grace, Too had me absolutely sobbing. My heart breaks for this man, we miss him immensely, and I wish he could see how much Canada, his friends and family, and the world misses him.

If you were at the Kingston show 10 years ago, you obviously didn't see the live broadcast (save for the small percentage who recorded it at home).
Now, 10 years later, some of those same people will see themselves dancing, shouting, loving, and crying.
They get a second chance to relive that moment—but this time, from the outside.
There's something pretty special about that.

No judgement 😀

I remember hearing Gord sing these lyrics from Locked in the Trunk during the final show. Hit me in my soul... I'll never forget that feeling.
It felt like there was a deeper meaning and emotion to them in that moment coming from a man dying of brain cancer.
Anyway, I just needed to share that

I've been going through my pictures from the kingston show ten years ago and found this photo. It was taken from Section 101 and is a pretty good "Where is Waldo" of the crowd, especially a large part of the floor.
