The Tragically Hip official Thread 2009******

I was just looking through my ticket stubs, and realized I have seen the Hip only 6 full shows and their 2 song set at the Junos on Winnipeg. Thought I had seen them more than that.

What the hell's your problem?

I've only seen them six times too. I've never passed on them in my hometown though. Should've travelled to Vancouver more now that I think about it.

there were many that I skipped, after looking at setlist fm. I skipped the We Are The Same tour, the In Violet Light tour (no idea why, I love that album), the Fully Completely anniversary tour, and the Henhouse tour. First time I saw them was in 95.

when they played The Forks for War Child in 2000, it was amazing. and it was free. I think something like 80,000 people were there. I have a boot of that show. on fire.

I'm not a big fan of We Are The Same.

My favourite was the World Container tour. For whatever reason... they seemed to be really awesome that night.

The Fully Completely anniversary tour was actually fantastic. I think it was undervalued, honestly. Gord was really on his game for that show, and the setlists were great. Each show obviously had Fully Completely in order on it, but all the shows started and ended with several varied songs too. And the stage production of that tour was particularly cool.

My god. I was in line for beer when they came on. All i wanted to hear as lonely end of the rink. They ooened with it. I have never run to my seat so fast in my life.

Not a fan of WATS either. Although I really like one of the bonus tracks, Skeleton Park. Should have been on the album.

They played MTS Centre here. They were playing a 600 capacity CLUB in Minneapolis. I asked a buddy to go to minnie. He hummed and hawed. Didnt go. Big regret.

Lol.

The only time I heard Three Pistols I was in the can taking a leak. Ticked me off. I had no chance to get back to my seats. I just stood there thinking, "For f**ks sakes."

What doesn't get said enough is the fact that these guys were all high school buddies that formed and stayed together.

No guitar player kicked out because a better one could be had... no drummer booted out because he didn't want to rehearse... just a group of friends that likely had their issues, but worked through them privately and stayed together.

probably old news, i don't wanna read the whole thread, but when your wrigley periscope stream crashes tonight... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/how-to-stream-the-tragically-hips-last-show-ever-w435020?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=daily&utm_campaign=081916_16

Except for the sax player! Lol. Good thing. They could have turned out to be Canada's huey lewis and the news.

I forgot about that guy.

You can never have too many Huey Lewis and the Newses.

I'll be tuning into the tv tonight, actually a little pumped for this. Tried for London tickets but got shut out.

That's funny, I'm going to see Huey Lewis and the News next Saturday....looking forward to it!

For topic integrity, I'm also looking forward to watching the concert tonight from the comfort of my living room. Also going to check out the Rich Terfry CBC Radio One special pre-show at 6pm.

They'd be okay. I don't mind them.

chitty

Oh my that was unbelievable. Every song
I wanted to hear
Thanks to the hip

DarthMaeglin

Great show (except for the second Trudeau moment), thanks to the Hip and Kingston for sharing their night with us, and kudos to the CBC for running the entire show with not a single commercial interruption.

It was (more than) a bit heartbreaking seeing Johnny Fay help Gord Downie down the steps after the second-last encore, but uplifting to see Gord take the same steps on his own after the finale.

Edited to be less mean to our PM (only out of respect to the Hip), I'll save the vitriol for the Canadian Politics thread, lol.

DarthMaeglin

Meant to ask, was there some significance to the Jaws tshirt? I thought it was just that Downie likes the movie, but then I spotted a couple in the crowd throughout the show, lol.

Massara133

Gord's been wearing the Jaws shirt through out the tour so I imagine some fans wanted to find one and join in the fun. I have to admit I thought about checking Amazon for one haha
