Canada has a population of 39 Million. The night of Tragically Hip’s last concert 11.6 Million, about 30% of us, half the adult population of the entire country, watched live on CBC & in Kingston Ontario the bands home town. Gord Downie’s performance was, courageous, beautiful and as always entertaining. I’ll never forget it. Downie’s lyrics almost always told a story, very often a Canadian one, sometimes in a way you had to work to understand. It was always worth it. RIP to a Canadian Treasure

This is kind of surreal moment. After ALL these years, to see these guys getting some love out of the U.S. is a very strange feeling. They just never got over in the states. It never happened. It's like this band was behind the "iron curtain" as far as our American cousins were concerned. So they just hunkered down and played for us. For YEARS. Out of KINGSTON, Ontario ... halfway between Toronto and Montreal. And yep, this really was the song that put them on the map.These guys are like a window into the soul of Canada. Lots of very Canadian themes through the songs (easily missed if you're not from here), and just regular songs about love, life etc. We have more to offer ... Bands like SLOAN, OUR LADY PEACE, MOIST and more. All three there are 90s stuff from our very own grunge, post grunge (and more) scene. Big names up here in the great white north. Check out "Money City Maniacs" by SLOAN. Good place to start with them. Edit - just remembered BLUE RODEO. Our alt-country tour-de-force!

The Hip never really got much reaction in the US, much like Rush. They were a somewhat eclectic band, known for including many Canadian cultural references in their songs. 50 Mission Cap, At the Hundredth Meridian and So Hard Done By would be good for you to check out. Also, funny that you mentioned Jom Morrison; if you listen to the versions of New Orleans Is Sinking and Highway Girl recorded live at the Roxy, you'll hear Gord go off on a story in the middle of the song and the band just runs with it in a similar way to what Morrison did with the Doors. To help you to understand how much of a cultural icon they were, you only need to know about their last concert. In 2015, Gord Downie was diagnosed with brain cancer. They set up a cross country tour which culminated in the final concert in Aug 2016 in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario which was simulcast live and in its entirety on tv and internet by CBC (our "national" broadcaster) for free. It was shown in bars and in theatres; people held watch parties; businesses closed early so people could watch. From a cultural perspective, the only event that I could compare it to would be the moon landing. And when Gord passed, it was almost a national day of mourning. That's the Tragically Hip that Canadians gush over. They were more than just music.

Due to Gord Downie's condition, it wasn't his best performance, but he put everything into it, and would still have put many to shame. Of course, it was less of a case of "entertain us", than the opportunity to be part of a communal experience saying goodbye to a band that meant a lot to us, and to support and thank Gord.

The lead singer of The Tragically Hip was the late Gord Downie who sadly passed away from cancer in 2017.

It's hard to describe how iconic this band is in Canada. You're gonna get blasted in the comments with song requests but I'll add my list too. Songs with the same 'vibe' as this one: At the Hundredth Meridian, Boots or Hearts, or Little Bones. Some more mellow but amazing options are Wheat Kings (based on the true story of a Canadian teen sentenced to prison for a murder he didn't commit), Long Time Running (one of my personal favourites), or Fiddler's Green. Would LOVE to hear more Hip on the channel please!

The lead singer (and song writer) Gord Downie , was compared to Bob Dylan by the NY Times. He can tell a story , believe me. “At the Hundredth Meridian” is another one similar to this song.

Gord Downie... God rest his soul... Canada's poet... I ran into him at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto... literally... he was taller than me too, so part of his beer spilled onto my head. LOL. I didn't mind. You gotta do Blow at High Dough, Courage, Something On, At the Hundredth Meridian, Little Bones, Locked in the Trunk of a Car, Boots or Hearts, Poets, My Music at Work, 38 Years Old, Wheat Kings, Bobcaygeon. You will love this rabbit hole.

Thank you for revisiting The Hip. Ailing from Canada myself this is Rock Royalty for us Canucks. Sadly Gord Downie died a few years ago from a rain tumor. But his voice will echo for a long time 'cause it was so unique. He allso wrote and was a poet. His lyrics we're always interesting. We so miss him 😞

Have you checked out Dirt Miller "Kansas City" ? Now there is a guy with a distinctive twangy voice, excellent lyrics and a master story teller.

At a performance at Ontario Place Gord changes some of the lyrics. He actually sang "I had my hands in the toilet. My feet back up on the tank"!!! I guess ol' Gordie was bored that night. I have seen the Hip too many times to count. I even watched them 2 nights in a row at the Horseshoe on Queen St in Toronto. The best was at Masonic Temple on Yonge Street. We spent most of the evening just walking around on the mezzanine. "Killer whale tank...Killer whale tank".

OH F*CK YES!!! YOU MADE MY FRIDAY, GUYS! As a proud Canadian, don't get me wrong, I adore RUSH, but The Hip has a special place in my heart, which is why I was disappointed on your initial choice and Jay's reaction. This one is a better introductory track, IMO, but of course if you become true fans you will enjoy "Ahead by a Century". I never got to see them before Gord died, I had tickets twice and got sick both times. Just didn't pan out and I regret SO MUCH not getting to see them. I've seen cover bands though and it's always fun to sing along. Jay, I was fist-pumping when I saw your reaction this time. WE GOT YA! I'm gonna keep bugging you guys to hear more, let's start with these: Blow at High Dough Locked in the Trunk of a Car Little Bones Nautical Disaster (look up the basis for the song or watch a lyrics video) My Music at Work .... I could go on and on. I absolutely LOVE this band. RIP Gord Downie. Speaking of which, you need to watch their farewell performance, the final song being ironically "Ahead by a Century". kzitem.info/news/bejne/yJ6C0WF4oYZeg20

My fav Hip songs are Bobcaygeon, 38 years old, Wheat Kings and Nautical Disaster. The storytelling in these songs is phenomenal. The Hip are best experienced when the volume is turned up to eleven. It leads you to a state of not listening but feeling the music right to your inner core. --- Me debunk an American myth? Take my life in my hands? -- At the 100th Meridian, another great Hip song.

Still my favourite Hip song after all these years. The Hip have such a variety of tracks from heavy bluesy rock to more folky ballads, but the common thread is the amazing lyrical poetry of Gord Downie. If you liked this track, some more like it would be: BLOW AT HIGH DOUGH, LITTLE BONES, 50 MISSION CAP.

For their acoustic side they have "Wheat Kings" that tells the story of a young man that was falsely accused of a crime who was finally released after the real perp was caught. Another song you two might enjoy is "Poets" - great groove and guitar parts. 🎸😎

I'm far from being a true Hip superfan, but I can easily off the top of my head list 30 songs that still get regular play on the local Classic Rock stations, which shows just how much respect they get up here. New Orleans Is Sinking, Little Bones, Courage, and Blow At High Dough are probably the best ones to use as an introduction to the band, but then once you start digging into their real "fan pleasers", the list just goes on and on.

My fav Tragically Hip song is 'My Music at Work'. I'd recommend the official video. It seems The Hip really understand how important some tunes can be to get some of us through our workday. In the video Gord's personality & creativity really comes through. Perfect song for a Rob Squad Reaction since listening to the tunes are Amber & Jay's work & passion.
