More great news from the Hip!

In 2024 we’re looking back on the decades that shaped our career as we celebrate 40 years of The Tragically Hip. We’ve heard your requests for more live video recordings, so from now on we’ll be releasing a new live video to YouTube every week. The shows will reflect the different eras of the band, from 1990 to 2016.  

Stay tuned every Thursday (unless we tell you otherwise) for a new upload, and make sure to tap the bell icon so you never miss a video. 

To kick off the May 24 weekend, we are starting off this series with “Bobcaygeon” - live from Woodstock ‘99. Watch the full video at https://youtu.be/IVwNdB-4G3k

Cheers!

so, they announce the Up To Here box set now. Like I keep predicting, this band (or their management) just keeps screwing over their most loyal fans. A few months ago, they announce the pre-orders to their book, and the deluxe version comes signed by the 4 surviving members and "an exclusive 7" record of unreleased song Get Back Again". They made it sound like this would be the only place to get this song. 

Well, guess what? Get Back Again is going to be released in the box set and was released digitally today. They keep giving fans the impression that these things are going to be exclusive to whatever current release, and after they get enough sales, they add it to something else. It's really shady. Like Saskadelphia. And Live at the Roxy. Fooled me once. Shame on you. Fooled me twice. Won't get fooled again.

I kind of wait now.   The Saskadelphia one bugged me, because if I'd knownit was going to be in the box, I wouldn't of bought the standalone one.      Then I bought the box, just to get the Roxy vinyl, and then it got released standalone a while later.  I'd got triple dipped.

I suppose they haven't repeated that since that set though.

I've developed a new system for Hip Boxsets.   Be patient and wait.    Generally I do this with a lot of boxsets.  They often come out later in the year.    By the time you get to Black Friday a year or so later, they're on discount.   It also gives time to see if they release any of the content separately.

The new set has a lot of things I'd like.  Live Vinyl, unreleased tracks and a bluray of a live performance.  I'll probably buy it at some point.

Still need to buy last years (Phantom Power).  Maybe there will be a good deal on one during Black Friday sales.

same for me with Saskadelphia. Only bought the box for the Roxy. Had I known they'd release it separately later....grrrr.

All of these live show releases and their unreleased tracks have shown up on Youtube Music over the past four years in official releases not bootlegs. Nothing has been exclusive to The Hip's store. I'm waiting for the what feels inevitable Indigo or Amazon Black Friday / Holiday Season sale pricing for their This is Our Life autobiography. Enjoy the music

This is the correct strategy. 6 months ago I scored a Fully Completely vinyl box set for $70 USD (prev $165) from Amazon. At the same time, record stores were selling the studio album (not even the deluxe) for $50.

The only semi-frustrating part about the Up to Here box is that this is the first release that has anything that I've never heard before: Rain, Hearts, and Fire, Wait So Long, Hailstone Hands Of God (1988 Demo)

Hopefully those tracks will be available digitally when it's released and then it won't be too bad to wait it out.

This will probably pass Tom Petty’s Running Down A Dream as my favourite documentary!

This looks absolutely amazing!!!

Binged all 4 episodes last night. Had me in tears several times.

Part One is incredible!

Watched the series today - it’s a very good watch even for a casual fan like myself.

So excited to start this tonight. I’ve always loved the Hip.

Definitely some heavy moments, but I thought the documentary was really well done. There were tears shed. I learned a lot of things I had no idea about, those guys went through so much. I love them even more than I already did!

Episode 1was incredible. Can’t wait to finish the rest. 

HughFreakingDillon

the Fiddler's Green portion had me WEEPING

3 episodes in.  Didn't realize they struggled so much in the 2000s.  I've seen them 4 times.  Another Roadside Attraction in Victoria in 93?  Royal Theatre in Victoria in '02, Edmonton in '07 at Rexall Place, and the Victoria date on the final tour in 2016.

That show in Edmonton wasn't quite as good as the other 3.  Only one I ever took my wife too.  The other ones were all amazing.  I guess the Edmonton one must of been while they were struggling.

I was also at that Edmonton show. Wasn’t as good as when I saw them in 2002 at the Jubilee. 

Finished episode 2 last night. Loved the fiddlers green part, wheat kings loon segment and the another roadside attraction part. And the 50 mission cap part about the hockey card. Loved the entire episode actually!
