    I've heard of the Tragically Hip over the years but I've never really been exposed to them. Last night I was very impressed. Can completely understand the appeal.

    Very thankful the CBC made that show available internationally. It might have been a national celebration but it became a worldwide event. Well done.

    Jimmy V...

    How ya been?

    Go get yourself Fully Completely... get some headphones... stretch the old legs out... place a view within your line of sight... and enjoy!
    Fully Completely...I will check that out this week.

    Cheers!

    Thanks for sharing this Demetrios, hoping there'll be an official release either of this show, or a compilation from the tour, but this'll help the wait, lol.

    Make sure you do this!
    I had the old yellow Sony sports Walkman and listened to this tape on a road trip.
    It didn't leave my Walkman for a very long time.
    Make sure you can just sit and listen for the whole album uninterrupted - which is how many Canadians discovered the Hip.
  • Leaving this here.
    PJ fans will pick this up

    DO yourselves all a favour- FULLY COMPLETELY- listen once, you will be impreesed, listen twice you will be hooked for life. The definition of greatness. Been a PJ fan since 92 and never understood why America never got The Hip. Hopefully Eddie's generous and beautiful ode will catalize some of you PJ fans to spend some time with arguably Canada's greatest band. Much love

    Let's not give them too much at once!

    This is in the queue at number 2... although Hugh's gonna say, "Wtf? Day For Night, man."

    Day For Night is pretty damn awesome! Nautical Disaster. Nautical Disaster.

    * I remember Fully Completely playing in everybody's car when it came out. I remember debating everyone which song was the best of the album. I stood firm on 50 Mission Cap... but Courage, Locked in the Trunk of a Car, At the 100th Meridian, and Wheat Kings tested my faith.

    When we were planning our weekends... we'd nearly always say we were 'Looking for a Place to Happen'.

    Every song. EVERY song... is really good... and if not... then it's awesome.

    I'll expect a mini review, Jimmy V. And as someone said... don't be too quick to offer it: it's the kind of music that sinks it's teeth into you slowly and steadily... only to be timeless.

  • Some cat said this was played out, and another mentioned how the Barenaked Ladies had more success in the States (as did others like Nickleback), but leave it to Ed to know where the real talent and heart of the whole north was and has been close to 30 years. As Canadians, we didn't care that y'all never got it - hell, that might be one of the best parts of this Hip love - but as a PJ fan, I'm pretty thrilled that Ed got it, that he knew its significance.

    a serious class act that ed ved. i'm beyond words to properly describe my thoughts....not just merely a "shout out" either

  • Just watched Eddie talk about Gord and then Light Years. CHILLS. Best 2 bands in the world. Thank you so much Pearl Jam for showing us all it's all about L-O-V-E.

    I have a read shirt that says "Thanks Gord" on the front and "It'd be better for us if you don't understand.." on the back.

    PJ gets it. If I learned anything, musicianship at their level becomes somewhat of a brotherhood. Travellin Band Brotherhood. :-)

    I'll tell ya if there's one video download you want to own from this amazing performance from the Tragically Hip, you gotta check out that 40 gig MKV file. CBCHD did a fantastic job! Even though the broadcast here in Halifax wasn't all that great with many glitches here & there during the performance, this MKV file blows my mind! The quality is amazing!!!

    Hi Demetrios, could you point me in the direction of the 40 gig MKV file that you're speaking of? Have a nice day and week.

    There's one up over @ The Traders Den. So many new accounts were created day's ago to get access to this fantastic video source.

    Thank you, Demetrios..... be well
  • This news is a bit old already and may have been already mentioned on here, but Ed's shout out to The Hip made the national news in Canada. Most everyone has heard about what Pearl Jam did -- one might say they are trending...and definitely in a positive manner.

    I would've fallen from the sky, till you...
  • I was heartbroken to be away from my friends missing the last concert. Totally mixed emotions!

    Absolutely pumped to be at Pearl Jam, but conflicted on missing a national celebration.

    I wore my Hip shirt and sported a small Canadian flag. Walked around Chicago for most of the day leadin up to the show singing random Hip lyrics.

    As soon as Ed mentioned what was going on north of the border...the tears were flowing. I don't even think he got 5 words in and I knew what was coming.

    I just wanted to feel better about what was happening back home and Ed made that happen by simply acknowledging the event.

    He looked right at our two small flags in the pit and we knew it was all ok.

    It took me about 3 more songs to wrap my head around it... then I was back in and back in the PJ game.

    So many fans wearing shirts, showing support to others. This really is an amazing PJ family...

    It's not old news and this is a great post.
    The Hip has received the "American" boost that everyone here in Canada has been wondering why it took so long.
    Music is deep.
    The Hip could not be recognized any better than this.
    Canadian news stations are being very humble with the recognition from a powerhouse.
    Americans take awhile for good music (and some other things) :smile: to sink in.
    Much like I forget that AMT is usually about America and not where I live.

    very classy for ed to recognize the hip. the biggest mistake the hip made in my opinion was their one big shot at the U.S. market back in 1999 when they played snl was they didn't play new orleans is sinking. that would have put them on the map . but to all those out there that haven't heard of them give some of their early albums a listen . you might be quite shocked to what you have missed. these guys were similar to pearl jam in that no interviews, low key and appreciative guys. no bad press. great lyrics and at the early shows lots of improv by gord in songs.
