How beautiful is this man, in his suit and glasses.. and so ROCKING.. there is NOTHING like The Tragically Hip anywhere else... classy / classic.. Eastern Canada LOVES YOU... (even though I now live on the west coast... this will always represent Ontario for me...)
The Hip put up rock and roll performances you could take your 100-year-old grandparent or 5-year-old kid to and (barring the noise and occasional intentional, well-placed, non-profane profanity) be certain they'd come out a better person on the other end and wouldn't hear anything they shouldn't or generally would object to. Here's a fan from Ohio. In love since the first introduction via an Ontarian friend 13 years ago...will be till I'm gone.
"Look out! Look out! Look out!! Oh, sorry, I thought it was the Corporate Power Structure..." I just keep watching Hip videos on TH-cam and kicking myself for not seeing them live more times than I did. Every Hip song keeps getting better the more times I hear them, but also getting harder to watch with the tears welling up, partly b/c still so gutted about Gord, and partly so moved and thankful for the legacy of mind-blowingly awesome music he made and left for us. Was never more true that stars that burn the brightest are gone the fastest. Godspeed, Gord.
j matt There will never be another band as great as The Hip or Rush. Feel the same way watching videos on here, missing Gord and hating the disease, but the comments always offer comfort.
Right on. You nailed it. I think their energy, especially Gord's, was just pure Love. He was in a hurry to spread it and when I watch them I can't help but be moved. It's overwhelmingly powerful and emotional. RIP Gord. We love you
Thanks for posting. I was there in front row in front of left speaker. Great day to be hip fan as Gord mingled with crowd we talked & shared a laugh. Nice moment looking back.
How great to see the little guys up front. I saw them whenever they came south to the DC area. I felt so lucky to see them in the smaller venues down here.
If we had only known what was in his cards, the hand to be dealt to Gord and the band years later. Makes me, you, us realize time is precious, cherish every show....man I miss Gord, the small venue's, record store shows, the little things. I'm happy to know, if there is an afterlife, he knows we know he knows we miss him.
"You're a microphone. What do you know? Shut up!" Gord Downey arguing with a mic stand. Brilliant!
The good old days. Revisit this one often. Was there and what a privilege it was.
How lucky to be there i watch this 5x a week.

My feelings and thoughts exactly.

I looked up to Gord above and said "hey man,thanks for the joy you brought to everyone"
This music is good, pure and just so much freakin fun🤘
One of my favorite Gord bits telling the microphone it knows everything he knows. I think about this all the time.
Incredible. I was lucky to see them at an 1100 person room in Seattle. RIP Gord.

Oh wow...
You are a lucky man.. what a memory
Ive always liked the hip. But recently im loving them more than any other band. And im into hip hop. This band is/was completely perfect. RIP GORD
Awesome! My husband and I were lucky to be there that day! Thanks for the upload. ✌
Helen McCool you are a lucky person Helen.
Weird and Wonderful. Like life itself. It was The Hip that first taught me that life can be both, is both.
How great to see the little guys up front. I saw them whenever they came south to the DC area. I felt so lucky to see them in the smaller venues down here.
🌻Wow, I'm so h💗ppy to have found this. Bless you 🦋Gord.🦋 What a beautiful human.🌻💗
those kids in the front are so lucky to be there, hope they always recall this epic time.
Thanks again man, I stop here regularly.
This is a gift.
Gordie at 5:27: "That's my best Bey Blade. That's my best Bey Blade"
we definitely lost a legend right there
Hip and Gord Downie = Canada (We Miss you Gord)
I cant begin to express how much I miss Gord. "You can pause in wonder, they paused in wonder. And, yeah, I paused in wonder too."
the poet’s soul is eternal

Al and I are impressed with Gord's ranting, and how close you are!
More proof that great bands do cool stuff
AWESOME!!!
(2:56) Which prompts Gord to say, “Music lovers, thank-you...I have to get used to this stage” 💜
Well this is fucking cool. Never seen this before. So jealous
What a fucking guy ! We miss him.
Man, I miss Gord. :-(
Oh god, if the crowd would just let them find the sound of the place .. like he asked.
