Beautiful man. You are deeply missed and deeply loved.

@whatwouldhousedo5136 6 лет назад

I'm sorry man- curious why would you feel the need to make that kind of negative comment?

The Hip ARE Canada.

You have no idea how many times I have been alone on a field doing some farm work and have listened to the multitude of their music.

@katherinehunter9526 3 года назад

Me too! I missed never seeing them once! Always planning on seeing them but it always fell through. Kids got sick, didn't get tickets and so on. I watched the concert at a local pub. The owner was a huge Hip fan. He cleared out the bar, because he insisted on watching the concert. They usually played Hip Hop and Gangstar rap. So he and I bonded that night crying and rocking out to The Hip!. ✌❤🇨🇦🎶🎸🏒🤘 🇨🇦💃🐈

Even if you're an American (like me and a lot of other quadcore Hipsters), you have to be genuinely stupid not to appreciate these guys - as too many comments on this video seem to confirm. You have to be totally oblivious to Gord's power-packed lyrics, and you have to have never watched them - whether up close or in a video here on RU-vid - improvise a dozen different new songs right in the middle of 'New Orleans is Sinking' or 'At the Hundredth Meridian' or one of those other take-no-prisoners jam-session songs. I remember Gord saying to the Kingston audience last August, "Thanks for keeping me going," or something to that effect. But a lot of people who heard him, myself included? All they did was return a huge favour. For years he's inspired countless people to keep on keepin' on, by his lyrical genuis alone. For me, an American who doesn't know half of the Canadiana I've been listening to ever since that fateful episode of 'Due South' back in 1995, THAT'S what it is about the Hip.

@michaelpark5681 6 лет назад

Funny you should say that. Even in Canada only a small niche of people listened to their music.

Canadians who listen to rock stations just know the hip, its unexplainable. Its part of us.

The Tragically Hip are the Beatles of Canada. Great, great band that deserves all the praise smart people wanna give them. Love this band so much.

@rozzie101 8 лет назад

Don't get me wrong, I love the Hip. But, they are not Canada's version of the Beatles.

@yyz1500cc 8 лет назад

Huge Hip fan ... but i don't see the Beatles comparison, either ...

@WLDB 8 лет назад

I think the Guess Who would have been a better comparison.

@majorsmythe1 8 лет назад

Actually The Hip say they were influenced by The Rolling Stones,,you can hear it in some songs. So lets say The Hip are The Stones of Canada,,,,or better yest, The Hip are The HIP .

@michaelpark5681 6 лет назад

The Beatles of Canada? The Rolling Stones of Canada? I say the Milli Vanilli of Canada. Actually that's an insult to Milli Vanilli.

@IndustrialMilitia 6 лет назад

Their music just sounds like Canada. Especially the prairies.

I made $40 profit off my hip tickets. My friend offered me more than a hundred but instead I asked him to buy me and my wife a cheap supper. I probably saved him hundreds because he was desperate. He now calls me a scalper LOL!

Beatles are overrated. All popular music is overrated. Love the Hip. Doesn't matter to me if you don't. Nothing to do with anyone's intelligence. In fact I don't mind if noone else likes them. Their songs make me feel good. Capisco.
