The Tragically Hip - Grace, Too and Nautical Disaster REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING! 

For Canadians of a certain age, The Hip have been the soundtrack to our coming of age. Every house party, road trip, and bad breakup, Gordie and the boys have been there. They truly are Canada’s heart. They went on a final cross country tour after Gord was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. The CBC broadcast the final show, live, coast to coast. Check out Long Time Running, a documentary about the Last Tour. It gives you a really good view into what an amazing human Gord was. RIP. Annnnd now I’m crying.

"The place of honor that Mr. Downie occupies in Canada’s national imagination has no parallel in the United States. Imagine Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Michael Stipe combined into one sensitive, oblique poet-philosopher, and you’re getting close." - The New York Times, October 2017.

I have to disagree with the "they sound like a lot of other bands" part. I think they are super unique.

Thanks for doing this one! The Hip are Canada's band. The lead singer Gord Downie passed away from brain cancer a few years back.

The Hip are criminally underrated.

"Why is he doing that? I don't know". You haven't seen a tenth of what Gord Downie at a live show was like. Watching Gord perform was an experience worth the price of the ticket on it's own.

I hope you know just how much this band means to Canada 🇨🇦, we shut down the country for a night for their last concert before Gord Downie died. The guy had brain cancer and was given a year to live, he decided to tour Canada and give the proceds to charity. CBC SHUT DOWN THE SUMMER OLYMPICS FOR 3 HOURS FOR THEIR LAST CONCERT. 13.5 million Canadians tuned in. That's a 3rd of the country RIP Gord 🙏

We love the Hip here in the boarder city of Buffalo. When they came to concert here everyone shouted the lyrics “I remember I remember Buffalo” from the 100th Meridian. ❤️ Gord was one of the BEST performers to see live.

Many don't know but Dan had a hard time trying to convince SNL to host The Hip because they were a Canadian band. Finally after much debate they gave in and invited the band. During the first song Gord points out he is changing the lyrics of Grace, Too (he did this a lot live) and basically he said to America "Thanks but no thanks" he won't be knocking on their door of success and instead The Hip went back to Canada and toured every inch of it. This was the night that the Hip became Canada's band.

I remember Gord being asked to describe his vocal style once. He said he imagines that rats are biting at his ankles. Always loved that.

I miss Gord. What a legend. The Hip forever !!! I was at the 2nd final Toronto concert they played and the emotions in the ACC were insane. A moment I will never forget. Thanks for listening. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Dive Deep into The Hip. Every album is worth a complete listen. PS: Watch The Darkest One.

Never in my life have I seen a rock star/celebrity more grounded and grateful for what he had and the life he was given then gord. It was truly a weird but wonderful thing to witness. Even knowing his fait near the end he spent his remaining time thanking his fans for providing the life he had and bring as much awareness to indigenous issues as he could, never would you see gord act like the typical rock star.

As an American who lives less than 2 miles from Canada, its nice to see anyone get into the hip for the first time, Nautical is one of my favorites from anyone anywhere.

When they played Grace Too on their terms, the outro/solo could go on for several minutes more. Lots of little detours in their live performances.

God I miss this band so much. Got to seem them live in my hometown in Newfoundland 3 or 4 times growing up. I’ve been spoiled. No one can understand the amount of love Canada has for this band. Also after hearing your breakdown, I love how you take the time to actually explain what you hear. Although I feel you may of missed that he’s more or a songwriter. His lyrics are what made him who he was. Every song had a story. Other than that. But love your opinion either way. Cheers.

All my Canadian friends absolutely love this band. I've never listened to them so this was a first for me. Not what I expected. Michael Stipe comparison is spot on for me. I got an Allman Bros vibe from the guitarists in the first song. Knowing that they played a last concert &, I believe, it was like a Canadian National holiday, due to the lead singer dying made watching bittersweet. He seemed to be full of emotion & definitely had a good voice. Glad I finally checked them out. Good job.

If you go to a campground in Canada chances are 90% of the campers are playing tragically hip.

Personally, have never found them to sound like other bands. Especially as someone else noted regarding the structure of Nautical Disaster. Not a bunch of rhyming couplets, but a powerful narrative which goes against traditional popular songwriting arrangements. Regarding lyrics - Gord often improvised- on Grace Too he switched “He said I’m Tragically Hip” from “He said I’m fabulously rich.” An interesting point to note is the last line Gord sings in “Nautical Disaster.” It is actually the last line of a song by the band Skydiggers called “A Penny More.” Which is a brilliant song, and worth a listen to for anyone.

FYI, they are Canadian icons. The lead singer dies of cancer a few years ago and the toured right up till he died. Their last concert is most watched show in Canadian TV history.

Was hanging out with some Canadians who introduced me to these guys. They talked about this group in the same way I would talk about Pearl Jam. One interesting thing they told me was they were so loved in Canada when their final tour happened it was broadcast free across Canada’s public tv channel, and when the lead singer passed the Prime Minister even made comments of mourning. My understanding of the appeal is the lyrics. Good review by the way.

He's just a microphone, on a mic stand...

One can't listen to the Hip without following the lyrics. Downie was a true rock poet.

Thanks for doing this one David, it's bringing tears to my eyes missing Gord and the music he and the Hip brought to us. Unless you are Canadian and grew up with these guys, it's really hard to understand. :( Thank you again for this one brotha!

You can't ask why Gord is doing something, you need to ask why is everybody else not doing what Gord does 😜

Here's the thing about this band, on first listen, yeah. Give it some listens and something connects. Each time I buy an album it takes three or four listens before I'm in the groove.

Nautical Disaster is about the Dieppe Raid(precursor to D-Day). Canadian history.

The best band of all time.

So glad to see a Hip reaction, hopefully there will be more. Seen them several times live and have had some of my best nights EVER at them. The Hip to Canada is up there with Apple Pie or Baseball for an American.

The last improvised verse that Gord sings right at the end of Nautical Disaster is from the song Penny More by the Skydiggers, another indie Canadian band that reached moderate success on the Canadian charts. The early 90s produced a lot of indie/alt-rock bands that reached national success, like the Skydiggers, Rheostatics, The Pursuit of Happiness, Junk House, The Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, etc. The Hip was at the forefront because they crossed over and appealed to both alt-rock and contemporary/hard rock audiences.

RIP Gord a true Canadian

When I did standup, I had a bit about Downie , Stipe and Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil opening a dance school.

Let's blame the band for what the NBC sound engineer did for mono TVs 30 years ago.

Grace Too is the REAL Canadian National Anthem. Period!

I know REM is near and dear to many Americans, and for what its worth, I really like REM. BUT, the Hip's catalogue blows REM out of the water. Seriously. Great reaction.

We(Hip) fans have long given up caring if you like or don't like them. They are the BEST live band ever. The are OUR band. Feel free to enjoy, but in the end it really doesn't matter.

Still get goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes when I hear Gord! I saw them several times in a renovated church in Amsterdam (a dream for any Canadian). The last time they played there Gord was doing his crazy Gord thing and the base of the microphone pole flew off into the audience and he gave it to the girl he hit with it. Legendary!

What, what, what the HELL IS THIS!!!! The Hip..... DAVID YOU ROCK!!!! Canada's BEST KEPT secret, SADLY their lead singer passed out several years ago to brain cancer. I have seen these guys FIVE times and an AMAZING bad! These songs are sweet BUT hell man PLEASE, PLEASE DO MORE Hip songs! "At The Hundredth Meridian", "Locked in the Trunk of a Car" (My all time FAV Hip song), "Blow at high dough"... Oh so MANY GREAT songs! Btw, I am a Canadian so THANK you FROM Canada exposing our hidden treasure!

You nailed it. Picking up on the pocket (so important with this band), the versatility of the bass player (who is hugely underrated even by fans of the band), the solo in the outro (very common with them) and the way lead singer Gord Downie commands attention. This, in truth, is not a great performance by the band - they're a little tight for them, I think. They sound nervous. One thing you didn't pick up on (but it's a first listen, so why would you) is the unusual structure of Nautical Disaster: No chorus, no verses, no bridge. Lyrically, it's their best song, IMHO. "Anyway, Susan, if you like, our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory as those fingernails scratching on my hull." Great reaction!

is he that strong of a singer?...........yes, yes he is!

Hip all day!!!

For decades, Canadian TV and radio has had Canadian content requirements. Imagine being a radio programmer and having to make sure that 30% of what you aired was Canadian in origin. It made a lot of "stars" out of mediocre bands. The Tragically Hip were different, and if you haven't delved into their history and music more deeply, I suggest that you do.Gord Downie was a performer, a singer, but most importantly he was Canada's unofficial poet laureate. For decades The Hip were the soundtrack to Canada's lives, especially in the summers. Gord's tragic death from cancer was preceded by their last tour, Gord's goodbye, ending in their home town of Kingston Ontario. The songs you reacted to are well known, but both were from relatively early in their career. They were reflective of the fact that grunge didn't only come from Seattle. For different sounds from The Hip, I suggest listening to New Orleans Is Sinking, 38 Years Old, Boots or Hearts, Little Bones, Born In The Water, Courage (For Hugh MacLennan), Wheat Kings, Ahead By A Century, Bobcaygeon (Ontario's anthem), The Darkest One, The Drop-Off, and of course Long Time Running. Great music regardless of where you are, it just touches Canadian hearts a little more. Take a moment to listen to Rick Mercer, another Canadian treasure, tell a short tale about Gord here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-utSEoGFh1tI.html

Bass player, Gord Sinclair, is actually a big influence in the Hips writing - definitely a good reason why his bass lines are so deep in the melody.

After having that video up for 4 years and 250k views, NBC had it pulled.

The tragically hip will always be my favorite band seen them 4 times and they are the first band that I always play when I'm listening to music

I remember the day Gord died, I blasted The Hip and scream cry/sang along like a lunatic. So many good memories The Hip was the soundtrack to our youth. Rest Peacefully Gord ya did us proud 🇨🇦 it's nice to see more Hip reaction videos lately

The Hip songs, to me, are primarily about the lyrics and storytelling and the instrumentals usually worked with the message. The album versions of Grace, Too is 5:25 and Nautical Disaster is 4:43. They were likely shortened for television format. Good review.

Canadian Royalty.

Replying to the comment of Sounding like other 90s bands.. but this is their 4th album songs, they had a sound and stuck to their style since likely before 1989 until the sad end of Gord Downie, RIP. Also I think they were being pretty conservative to behave themselves for this New York big market exposure ( Not that they would go much farther out, but some live shows they definitely did).

Gord was and always will be Canada's poet and the The Hip was and is Canada's band of the last 30 years and thanks because you are one of the fews that have done The Hip

You mean snipe reminds you of Gordon

Man you have no idea how awesome this band is!!! You really need to listen to more of their music they have lots and it's full of chart topping hits.

Favorite band of all Time! Listen to any of the there 16 albums. And Live Between Us album amazing

I'm a 58yr old Canadian and NO disrespect towards Gord Downie (RIP), HE WAS A NATIONAL TREASURE. BUT, in THIS old Canadian pothead/rockers opinion, the band that represents Canada best is called RUSH. Formed in 1968 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A true "Power Trio". Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. A music catalog that spans 40 years. Gods of "Progressive Rock". A drummer/percussionist that was considered one of the top five of all time. Also known as "The Professor". Who also wrote the lyrics to the songs. Sadly Neil passed away from brain cancer in January of 2020. Best known as a "Concept" song and album band. GEDDY LEE: Lead vocals, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer/Keyboards ALEX LIFESON : All Lead Guitars, Back Up Vocals NEIL PEART : Drums, Percussion, Lyric Writing With that said I ask you to listen to these songs. Some are short, some are long. To give you a good impression of what this band was capable of. You WANT something different? I GIVE you something different. :) The Gods of Prog Rock.

The most oft uttered phrase by a Canadian to his southern counterpart, "You don't get it but that's okay....We do!!!!!

I love this band. I miss Gordie so much. He was a beautiful human being. This song is probably my favourite. Gord Downie is "performing". His vocals are pure passion for what he's singing. He is a very powerful, passionate singer. If you check out a concert specifically New Orleans is Sinking. He improvises lyrics, makes stuff up, tells you a story and is completely entertaining. He engages the audience. We Ontarians love our Gord Downie and The Hip. They are a national treasure.

Thanks for the heads up on you already reacting to Nautical Disaster Dave . For me a lot of their music / songs were not ground breaking or really pushing the envelope musically , however Gord Downie’s lyrics always stood out . He wrote a lot about Canadian history or events in such a poetic way . Another song from their Day For Night album ( 1994 ) was called Yawning Or Snarling . This is the chorus line : (Take a look at this photograph, clearly his teeth were bared) (He could have been yawnin' or snarling) the story was never clear Love that image he evokes with words of you looking at a picture of a dog mouth open teeth bared … yawning or snarling ?

He's doing that bc Gord just does what feels right in the moment of a performance. His presence was different for sure but just so authentic.

I got to see the hip 9 times throughout my life. The moving toward and away from the mic creates a sort of doppler effect. Just saying lol

The Tragically Hip is a hard band to quantify. Hard to judge them on one or two songs. They were literally the soundtrack of many millions of Canadians. They jumped genres all of the time while still keeping the blues inspired sound. Their evolution as a small band to an iconic Canadian band was over decades. Each song and album built on the last. No one says that they were best in the world musicians, but the band had a way to communicate with people that most bands lack. Closest American equivalence I can think of is Bruce Springsteen in his most influential times but still doesn’t quite echo what the Hip were.

You won't get blocked but demonitized. I found this on some obscure video site but I remember watching it live. Yes, I'm Canadian.

A great and very tight band, they very much served Gord. Guitar solos to close were quite normal, they were a band who could chug endlessly while Gord ad-libbed, free styled and went off on streams of his imagination. - critics have often described him as a shaman. New songs might come from the jams that songs turned into. Difficult to encapsulate in a one song at a time performance. I believe Dan Akroyd agreed to do the show if the Hip were booked. - and many people point to this SNL as the band maintaining its stance and playing songs they wanted to - they already had a back catalogue of songs that could have brought the house down. They chose songs they believed to have merit. - you may feel the sound wasn’t that unique, but the vocals and lyrics always were. Gord is often cited with teaching Canadians their history.

Please do some more The Tragically Hip reviews.. 38 Years Old, Locked In The Trunk Of A Car, Fully Completely. They have an arsenal of great songs

A Canadian treasure! So many great songs that havent got the worldwide attention they deserve. Recordings are great but Live Hip is the way to go!!

I love the hip. You listened, but you didn't hear.

Have you listened to the actual lyrics? The songwriting is a huge part of the band. Which you never mentioned.

Yes Dan is from Kingston ONT.

I think there best song is "Ahead by a Century". You had mentioned John Cage in your video about Pearl Jam's Bugs, and he was an inspiration for a Tragically Hip Song Tiger the Lion which is a pretty hectic song. Albums after Day for nights (which these songs came from) were received much better though may not have had state side releases.

Thank you , proud of our boys!

Somewhat obscure outside of Canada? Like before I even watch it!

FUCK FUCKIN' FUCK YEAH!! THE HIP FOR LIFE! GORDIE FOR LIFE!

Excellent parallel with Michael Stipe.

I went to a concert where Gord Downie decided to do a screamo version of all of his new songs. It was amazing. One does not question what Gord Downie does with his own songs.

TH passed me by for a long time, a *very* long time as it goes (they had next to no exposure in The UK, as far as I know) but I stumbled into them quite recently and have been very happy about it! The more I dig into them, the more I like them. Two guitars that compliment each other very well, an extremely tight and solid rhythm section and an utterly unique frontman/songwriter in Gord Downie. He had the same sort of gift of storytelling as Steve Harris/Iron Maiden, IMHO.

This was the first band i ever seen. i was 14 and seen at a small racetrack here in victoria bc. RIP Gord Downie... :'-( The Hip was a extremely Canadian Band. They are extremely loved in Canada! I seen them and /or Gord Downie about 10 times over 25 years, one of the last times i seen them it was at rock the shores festival and a thunder/lightning storm paused the concert for over an hour and The Hip came out even as lightning was threatening above! They have so many great songs! New Orleans is Sinking is a great one you should check out! They can mezmerize you. A few songs broke the US charts but not many. so under appreciated. thanks for this.. think ima go and listen to a Hip playlist now lol

Listen to the studio version of Nautical Disaster. The ending guitar solo is excellent.

Grace too is over 5mins on the album. And longer live. . TV must have made them cut it short.

If they left you wanting more then that was probably the best strategy, because they do have so much more.

Great video! Really enjoyed the solid input and breakdown of the song from an outsider looking in. His singing style is unique and awesome, it grew on me big time.

You missed The Tragically Hip? Noo my favourite Canadian band even more than Rush... So many requests now damnit

I remember heading an interview Gord gave on the radio ten years ago. He said when he auditioned for the band he performed The End by The Doors. Would have loved to have been there for the beginning of a Canadian hero

Canada’s most revered bar/jam-band. You might have stood a chance of hearing them when New Orleans is Sinking came out in ’89 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LAZUsCONjIQ.html (Nautical Disaster came out of extended jams over this blues rock song), or when Courage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FhpezwGtDEg.html (probably their most US-like ’90s power-pop / alt-rock track) came out in ’92. In Canada, pretty much every single was top-10 if not top-5, but Courage was probably the only top-20 American track. I get it; it's kind of hard to break through into the US when Grace Too would have competed with Betterman, Black Hole Sun / Spoonman, and Rotten Apple / Nutshell. One of the other Canadian bands around Toronto that was around at the turn of the ’90s was I Mother Earth. Mike Clink produced their first album, and it had some great singles that people took to calling funk-metal. Tracks like Rain Will Fall ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SxfVaufgdaE.html might just grab your attention, and turn it northbound.

Locked in the Trunk of a Car; Little Bones;

Thank you for the reaction, these guys are nothing short of legendary. Please try following the lyrics espescially in Nautical Disaster, nothing generic about it.

Holy fuck I thought Gord was alot like Stipe too in some ways and also David Birne Im Canadian I have to love the Hip and I genuinely do.

The Hip was a huge part of my late 80's to late 90's music soundtrack. I recorded this performance on VHS and practically wore it out over the next decade. At 60 yrs of age, that version of Grace Too still makes the hair stand on my neck and arms. Thanks for bringing it back. Never liked Nautical Disaster though - would give it a 5 :-).

have you done any Billy Talent? They are another Canadian band and have a lot of good bass playing. I think you would love them. They are more alt/metal/punk.

I love The Hip, interesting take on their music. You should know that Gord (the vocalist, RIP) was quite nervous in this set since this was one of their first "big" shows being broadcasted to a large American audience since they mostly did Canadian shows before. I would definitely check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yxi5rXtqbVw.html where they performed Courage at Woodstock. The album that they're playing off of in this vid is a lot more melancholic, but Fully Completely has a lot more lively songs like Courage. And you can see Gordie is a lot more charismatic in that vid and he really gets into it lol. Another thing that many Canadians love about them is Gord's ability to write amazing and cryptic lyrics that a lot of other bands couldn't compare to (imo). They sang a lot about Canadian history and lore that many Canadians themselves didn't even know about, and they wrote it in a way that was amazingly poetic. This is the first vid of yours I'm seeing, pretty cool take overall, good to see The Hip still getting some recognition.

Gord's singing and performance style are very eccentric, but we love that about him. The Hip are pro-cannabis (recreationally and medically), and Trudeau was friends with Gord, so he chose the 1 year anniversary of Gord's death as our legalization day for recreational use.

I know this video is 2 years old. But here I go !!!! You are missing what Tragically Hip is about. Your review was based strictly on their instrumental abilities, which i guess are important, but what you missed were the lyrics, and the stories behind them. But being American I wouldnt expect you to know anything about Canada. pretty much every song tells a story about a Canadian, a social injustice and so much more next time focus some of your thoughts on the message rather wether you think they have talent. Im not sure if I like you yet, but ill say your honest and say what you believe, so you cant be that bad lol

Hey hoser, the first song shoulda been on the soundtrack of Strange Brew dontcha’ think? Like, I think it woulda fit like an ol’ ice skate. On a serious not, nice sounding band. Cross between Live and Seven Mary Three? Anyone?

You should do “New Orleans is sinking”..it might have the different sound that you are looking for

The beauty of Nautical Disaster is the metaphor. The ex-girlfriend means the same as the drowning men scratching on the hull of the lifeboat, designed for 10. 10 only

Do yourself a big favour and listen to the “Fully Completely” album. Brilliant. How this wasn’t a massive hit is confounding to me. Truly an all killer, no filler album. Rumours were that the American label wouldn’t release “Locked in the Trunk of a Car” as a single because of it’s imagery. Weird...

New subscriber here and I'm really impressed with your way of reacting to music. Not that impressed with the content you were asked to react to here though! The Hip have some really good songs, a lot of them having a story worth finding out, others simply showcasing their minimalistic, yet aggressive garage band sound. This particular live performance for some reason left it all lacking somehow. I've seen them in concert 3 times and they nailed each performance! A better - quick - intro to the Hip might have been the official videos for "New Orleans is sinking" or "Lil Bones"...even "Cordelia". And you know you gotta crank it too... LOL

Solid review.. came to catch up on a video or two before work, had to move this to front of the list, obviously lol. Michael Stipe comparison spot on. He's very animated and eccentric on stage, that was kinda subdued a bit. I suggested it to someone else, but the documentary "Long Time Running" would give you a great understanding of the band and their relationship with Canadians. Maybe even possible patreon review 🤷‍♂️😂 just spitballing. But loved the review, actually thought it could go either way. Don't worry, If you didn't like it, I wouldn't hold it against ya lol Side note. I think I've heard other reactors say something about that small screen within the screen to get around copywriter laws - if this makes since. Not sure if that's true, but I shared that link, and in Canada, SNL clips are extremely hard to find online - especially RU-vid . But anyways, thanks .. good review 🤙

I find his movement very reminiscent of Mark Miller from Sawyer Brown as well

Use of microphone? Looking forward to a Joe Cocker, Roger Daltrey review...lol Its Rock music.

Gord Downie looks like Sheldon Cooper

Dude! Go back and listen to the songs again, but this time listen to the lyrics.
