11.7 million people watching is even more impressive when you consider Canada has a population of roughly 38 million. That is like 100 million people in America watching a concert. Truly Canada's band.

@texadian3392 Год назад

That's exactly what I was going to say!...It's not just 11.7 million people in Canada were watching - that's nearly one-third of our entire population! They were and are truly beloved - Canada's Band ❤️!

I remember watching it on CBC live with all my friends and family on a projector in my backyard. It still makes me shed a tear thinking about it. Core memory… Everyone I knew watched it.

@paulseitz4696 Год назад

Nothing brings me to tears faster than remembering that Gord's last words to all of us were "You're ahead by a century and disappointing you is getting me down". When his cancer was first publicly announced, I had to pull over on my way to work along the 403 highway because I was crying so hard I couldn't see. The leader of our country went on television the day Gord passed to announce from his own heart, through ugly tears, that Canada was less of a nation for having lost the treasure that was Gord Downey. Your heartfelt reactions to this are very much appreciated. Thank you.

He was taken far too young. RIP Gord.

I was young and didn’t really know a lot of their music at the time besides a few singles and I remember how massive this was, it’s all people talked about, and that night everything shifted to this concert. Our town set up a massive screen on the street for people to come out, drink, and watch together. Have never experienced something like that before or since. That made history.

@gregshergold Год назад

This final concert was broadcast across the Canada, on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). It was a 3+ hour concert, completely commercial free, during PRIME TIME hour, and during the Olympics. IT just shows how special and what The Tragically Hip meant to Canada and Canadians, and friends, and why it is so special and a Canadian Treasure.

@adrienbelliveau6823 2 года назад

That final concert was TV broadcast, radio broadcast and internet broadcast for free so people were watching all over the world. It was a big deal. People had watch parties. Towns setup big screens in public places. One person tweeted that it was absolutely the biggest concert of the season - and the band was in another city. Canada was essentially "closed" for a family gathering. It was a evening I'll never forget.

Along with doing this in his final days, Gord Downie also got heavily involved with bringing awareness to the mistreatment of the indigenous people of Canada. He released a project called Secret Path that included a concept album and an animated movie about an indiginous kid who was one of many who died in the residential school system, and he also started the Chanie Wenjack Fund charity. Overall a great guy clearly

@a.m.creativ Год назад

Thank you for this. Thank you so much. I'm from Kingston, grew up listening to the Hip, seeing the Hip and being proud I'm from the same city. They weren't just a band to us, they were a part of our roots, our country and our heritage. Often singing about real life events that happened in Canadian history and current events, singing about legendary hockey players (Gord was a hockey player and a massive hockey fan), often bringing light to topics that perhaps we weren't really aware of but should have been. These men are legends. The music will forever be a part of our great nation and the legacy will be very bright and vibrant for generations to come. Here in Kingston, we often can run into these guys on the streets with their families like they are regular citizens. They will always take the time to say hello. This is part of what makes The Tragically Hip and the country so great. While I wasn't inside the venue for the show, I was in Market Square with 30,000 other people cheering the boys on. There will never be anything like it ever again.

@darrenmacdonald1499 Год назад

When they were touring in the winter, they would find a local outdoor rink and lace up the skates for a bit of ice time before their shows. I saw them in Red Deer, Alberta (6th or 7th time I saw them) in the winter of 94/95 and I went out with some friends to check out the local rinks hoping to see them. Sure enough, about four hours before their show, we found them playing a little shinny with some local kids. Absolutely the nicest bunch of guys you would ever meet.

@jopay142 2 года назад

The entire show was poignant, emotional... "Ahead by a Century" was the closing of the door, but "Grace, Too" was a primal shout. You should take a look at "Grace, Too", but be prepared to shed more tears. RIP Gord Downie.

@scottwilson8039 2 года назад

when people talk about "the best band you've never heard of" this is literally who they are talking about. unless you live in Canada or, like me in Buffalo and a few other small pockets, mostly border towns, in the US, Then you wouldn't know them which is incredible because of how huge they are in Canada. the best way I could explain to people in the US how big they are there is that if they toured Canada with Pearl Jam, Pearl Jam would be the opener.

I had the honour of being in the crowd that night and it is something that I will never, ever forget. Having seen the band about 50 times through my life and also having attended their final show in Hamilton a few nights earlier, I was sad through the entire show. We had seats 17 rows from the stage and the amount of emotion that was evident in the entire arena was something I have never witnessed before. We all sang along. We all cried along. We all supported each other. Gord was incredible.

@mookie7688 2 года назад

I live in Bobcaygeon, which is also the title of one of the Tragically Hip's famous songs. The main street was shut down for this concert, and 10,000 people gathered here and watched it on big screens set up along the street. Truly a generational talent. I had the pleasure of meeting Gord once in the mid-90s when the Hip were playing at a bar in Omaha. The whole band was wonderfully friendly. Sometimes it's good to meet your heroes and find out they're just regular dudes doing their best too.

Now with the interwebs its a lot easier to hear the stuff we didnt hear back in the day.This is a really moving clip. Gord RIP.

@gork8468 2 года назад

Gord always had an intensity and roughness live, but this concert ... yeah. He was ill, he was angry, he was literally dying, and he just howled it to the world for one last time with his fans. There are songs at that last concert, knowing what it was, that I break watching every time. Especially "Grace, Too".

@stevepaterson7503 2 года назад

Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Music serves many purposes. To tell a story, to envoke emotion, to make one feel. You were obviously feeling the moment. One of the reasons the Hip were treasured by Canadians was that they never sold out or pandered to attract a larger audience who might not have appreciated their true talents. They were a Canadian band who wrote and sang about Canadian things and never felt the need to apologize for it. They were a band that carried themselves with honor and integrity. They used to put on a festival tour called "Another Roadside Attraction " which was a mix of big name headliners and less known Canadian and American artists. When one of the bands laughingly criticized other bands on the tour in the media, they were promptly fired from the tour. Gord and other members of the band were constantly donating their time to worthwhile causes and never sought recognition. That they performed this final tour doing what they loved, being loved and showing love is a fitting legacy for the band they call the Hip.

Gord was so sick at the time. It was such a gift that he gave his fans. Dying of brain cancer, he embarked on a multi city cross country tour. The last show was televised nationally. Tickets were impossible to get so most venues were open for public viewings which Gord arranged to be free live streamed. I remember being at an outdoor concert site in the rain, glad it was raining so no one could see my tears. In the pouring rain, no person left.

I was lucky enough to have been at this show. The love and heartbreak in the room was palpable. If you notice there aren't a lot of cell phones up; it was just a bunch of people enjoying our band. The prime minister was there as well, singing and dancing along with the rest of us. (his heatfelt announcement when Gord died is a beautiful moment IMO). Leonard Cohen is Canada's poet but the Hip is Canada's band! And Gord was an amazing person; there are many great interviews and docs about him (bring the tissues) and the doc the band made while on this last tour is something to watch if you're at all curious at just what this band means to Canada. RIP Gordie! We still miss you!

And I want to reinforce those numbers as well. almost a third of the country, watched the show. It was broadcast in cities and towns across the country and people came out to public squares to see it. we had several thousand people show up in our town to watch it. I still can’t believe he had the energy to do this being as close as he was to the end. Incredible band, incredible performer.

It’s a love letter to his fans and a celebration of a life well spent!! Canada is huge geographically but small in numbers.

See him in his element drawing from all his audiences energy giving him such a strong finish.

I hope you check out more of their work. "Bobcaygeon" and "Wheat Kings" are two of my absolute favourites. I think "Ahead by A Century" did air on MTV in 1996-97, but they were really only big in Canada, but that was fine for them. They only cared to tell Canadian stories. They made up a big part of the soundtrack of life in Canada, especially in the 90's when rock and grunge was big.

They simulcast this final concert on a big screen in a park in the small town of Huntsville, Ontario, that I live in and hundreds of people turned out to watch and cry. I'll never forget it.

Man, the videos hardly started and my eyes are already getting misty. The Hip were the soundtrack to my teens and early 20s. I cried like a baby the day Gord passed. Edit: God damnit, seeing these two cry for Gord is making me bawl. Thank you for reacting to this, Gord was the best of us. Canada appreciates it.

His spirit of selflessness and love will live on for those who have yet to come. Truly a Canadian icon. RIP Gord. 💕🇨🇦

I cried, I laughed, I sang loudly, I cried again, and I rejoiced with my fellow Canadians while Gord sang us our final goodbye. Gord was the greatest folk story teller Canada has ever been blessed with. We miss you Gord! ❤

It seems like everything in Canada has gone to crap since Gord passed. The Hip was Canada's heartbeat. Fantastic storytellers.

I wish Gord was still around to scold our PM about his lack of care of the common Canadian.

As a Canadian, THANK YOU for this wonderful video. Watching the emotion on your faces, you can't fake that. FYI, I cried like a baby when I watched this live. The realest couple on the internet. Love ya both.

@BWalker9313 2 года назад

I saw them twice. First time, Gord walked on the seats and fell on me and my friend he said "thanks boys" as we lifted him back up. One of the coolest moments of my life. Lucky enough to see them on their final tour as well. Cried multiple times during the concert. Gord was the embodiment of Canada. Long live the Hip! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@methos3135 2 года назад

2 things that are distinctly Canadian. Tim Hortons and The Hip... I was so fortunate to see them for the 1st time on what would end up being their last U.S. tour in 2015 in Texas. Gord would end up being diagnosed 2 months afterward, publicly revealing in 2016. I actually had something come up at the time and was considering skipping and try to see them the next time they came around. So glad I stuck with going. RIP Gord

In my eyes, The Tragically Hip were to Canada what Powderfinger were to Australia. Both amazing bands who never got the global success they deserved compared to other bands. I spent 2 years traveling in 95-96 and spent alot of time that time in Canada and The Tragically Hip became my soundtrack for those years.♥️

@ninjavigilante5311 2 года назад

What about acdc?

@stub011 2 года назад

@@ninjavigilante5311 AC/DC are a huge global band. Go anywhere in the Western world and you’ll see AC/DC T-shirts and them selling out arenas and stadiums. Deservedly so as they are a great band. So from experience I would say AC/DC are a huge global band as opposed to Powerfinger or the Tragically Hip. ♥️

4 of my friends went to this. People were sobbing their hearts out. What a farewell gift to his fans. RIP

@paulcarter2048 Год назад

When the last tour went through Vancouver, my wife and I went to the second show; I've never been in a crowd so loud and emotional before or since. The wall of love that crowd sent up lasted from before the musicians arrived on stage until well after they left. What we experienced that night seemed amplified on the night of the very last concert of the tour, in Kingston, when it was shown live at so many venues in so many communities all across Canada. CBC even pre-empted prime-time Olympics coverage to show it...

@misterbrad100 8 месяцев назад

Possibly THE most moving musical moment of my life so far! Thank you for sharing your reactions. My life is immeasurably better for the art these five friends shared with me. The loss of Mr. Gordon Downie left a hole in how I relate to the world. I hope others can find catharsis in their wonderful songs and deeds. Activists, artists, and PEOPLE...

@markking6153 2 года назад

You have no idea how much this man meant to Canada. He brought us all together... wherever and whenever he was.

@ryanbeckett1175 2 года назад

Great reaction it was extremely emotional for the entire country. They were an amazing band that was the soundtrack for a generation of Canadians. They had their own unique sound and vibe some type of Canadian folk rock with a hint of blues. Gord and the band always put on amazing live shows. Hope you guys take a dive into more of their music.

@amycorrice9812 Год назад

I'm from Northern NY n being So Close to Canada I was Always to get some Canadian radio n TV stations. The 1st time I heard a HIP song was NOIS in July of 1989 when their album Up To Here was released. Theyve been my Fave band since; 33 YRS!

@christycassibo-agasucci95 Год назад

Thank you so much. They were our pride and joy. Our whole country was heartbroken.

@staceydowning4476 11 дней назад

I grew up right along with the Hip. Everyone who did can remember what was going on in their lives just by listening to their songs, it takes you back to all those moments of your life. From partying with friends in school, to getting married, having kids, and playing the Hip for our kids to them loving them and listening to them throughout their lives as well. That last show was nothing short of incredible. I will always cry no matter what when watching it. In Gord we trust, forever. ❤ 🇨🇦 ❤

I was blessed to be at one of the stops on that tour. Their last ever gig in Edmonton. It's the most emotionally moving concert I've ever been to, and that's about as close as I can get to describing that feeling from that night. I can't even imagine how much higher that emotion was ramped to at this point of this show. You should do yourselves a solid and watch this whole show front to back. And then watch the documentary "long time running" that goes behind the scenes with the band, starting from when Gord announced publicly that he was terminal, through the planning and rehearsals, each stop on the tour, and this incredible night. They could have become megastar if they sold out, but they stayed true to themselves and were royalty in Canada. They say 11.7M were watching that night, but I think that's way off. We sat in a bar in downtown edmonton, and watched with about 600 other people. They preempted the Olympics in prime time, to show this concert free. Big viewing parties in public squares in cities and towns across the country. I'm fairly certain well over half the country was watching. My mom was 70 at the time, and she was never much of fan of their music. But she went to a public viewing and watched the whole concert. I still get goosebumps when I think back to that last show here, and certain songs of theirs choke me up when they come across the radio.

Watching this live had me bawling my eyes out Thank you to the Government for broadcasting it live for everyone to watch Thats the most epic going away party ever!

You guys presented such a class reaction to a class man and his class band members. Thanks for that and for selecting this performance 🤘👍

As a Kingstonian..I can't believe it was 7 years ago..such a great memory of a great band..Canada's Band

@pleasantvalleypickerca7681 2 года назад

Gordon giving EVERYTHING he has in his last ever performance to the fans. Tearing up typing this. His interaction with the fans is beautiful. Shows even at that point he had a sense of humour and fun. He was an original and marched to the beat of his own drum.

@jocelyn2662 Год назад

Thank you for doing this!! Tragically Hip are so beloved in Canada. Gord was an incredible man, a poet, the best showman, advocate for Indigenous Rights & reparations. He is truly missed xo

@ontarioguyincalgary4845 Год назад

Awesome genuine reaction thanks 😎👍

@davefost 2 года назад

Thank you for watching this. My best friend (from a town near Kingston) was diagnosed with a glioblastoma just weeks before it was announced Gord was suffering from the same... and he passed just weeks before Gord did. The two are forever linked in my memories. Bittersweet. So sad for not having them around but so damn glad for having had them in our lives. Every time I watch this, it carried that double meaning. No dress rehearsal, this is our life.

@gregrutledge9831 Месяц назад

Watching you watch what I watched that night with my neighbours... you get a glimpse of what Canada felt that night. It was heartbreaking and a celebration at the same time... I bought the Blu ray of that concert but haven't watched it yet because it still feels too raw.

I remember going to a festival, and gord downie was performing solo there. He just walked around, talked to pretty much anyone. A really open and kind soul. Great reaction video.

The best to ever do it ! I was blessed enough to see him live on 9 different occasions.

Five years have passed now. I watched this performance through tears live on CBC. I thought I could watch this now without bawling now. Nope!

As a Canadian, thank you for doing this. It's making me cry all over again and feel all the feels. Nothing compares to this

@johngibson4628 Год назад

I saw The Hip 5 times over 20 years. One of my favorite bands of all time. I saw this concert projected on the side of a house in London Ontario in the cold and rain and loved absolutely every minute of it! I cried the day he died. RIP Ford Downie, fine but never, ever forgotten!

@timjohnston9764 26 дней назад

Gord was a 1st class act and his stage performance is one I will never forget and nor will all others who had the privilege to watch him live. RIP Gord! 😢 Still in our hearts.

I live a few hours away from Kingston Ontario and you can’t imagine the magnitude of this video. I just bawled through your entire video. I haven’t cried like that in a long time. You must watch the whole tour documentary. It’s incredible and sad but awesome.
