this is how to make all your canadian fans cry.
thanks bois. i'm crying in my cubicle.
At the end of the performance, he is screaming, "Him?! Here?! Now?! No!!!". Which indeed is the lyrics of the studio version of the song. However, in the context of THIS performance, the whole meaning of those words is transformed and for me, the original studio version of the song has also been changed. I was at one of the Edmonton performances of their last tour and it had the same feel. I watched grown men weep during the show, and it forever changed the way I experience live music.
I was at the Edmonton show. I cried, my friends cried. We all cried
@@thejemmett8881 I still weep watching this performance for that reason. He didn’t want to go, but he did so, with grace, too.
@@thejemmett8881 the Hip were soooooo much better live than studio. And I agree, many of their lyrics took on different meanings during their final tour.
Brain cancer, so crazy. Downie couldn't even remember lyrics, had to re-learn his own songs. There were teleprompters hidden around the stage. So much courage.
Truly unbelievable. Apparently he got better and better as the tour went on. But Gord was notorious for singing unprompted lyrics during his career, and then he cousobt even remember his own lyrics but powered through. He's truly one of a kind. I miss him. RIP Gord.
This entire country stood still that night.
I'm from Kingston, this was an extremely emotional night, this band is a Canadian treasure
This was him giving his last tribute to the fans, however it was truly our tribute to him. He gave so much of himself to Canada, and you nailed it when you said he left everything he had on the stage that night. We miss you Gord. ❤
Gord was literally dying on this final tour…it was heartbreaking but beautiful to witness the love for him and the guys… always remembered…In Gord We Trust …forever Hip …🫶 miss you guys..😢
I can't watch this without crying. Miss you Gord
One third of the whole country watched this that day.
RIP Gord ... a national Treasure.. :
INDEED. RIP Gord.
over 11 million people about a third of the population of Canada watched and listened to the last performance in bars, house parties and neighbourhood parks in towns and cities across the country.
In very proper Canadian fashion, I listened to this show live on CBC Radio while camping
CBC, the official Olympics broadcaster, put their Olympics coverage on hold for 3 hours without any commercials on a Saturday night for this last concert. That's how important this band is for Canada.
@@paulvez6296 The night Canada closed for business. Everyone was watching the concert.
Also broadcast online worldwide with no region locks. The Hip were Canada's house band, and Canadians around the world were able to join in and share the love that night.
shit still makes me cry
Gord insisted on going on one last tour, against his doctor's advice. If you haven't seen it, their documentary Long Time Running, follows them on that last tour. They talk with Gord but the other members about it. They talk about how they made changes for him. Performing every other night, so he had a night in between to rest. The teleprompters, which he prided himself on never needing before, but realizing he'd need the help, extra long breaks between sets etc.. It's amazing what he did.
I saw them in December 2000 and opening up for The Rolling Stones in 2005. I watched on tv, their last concert in 2016. I've never been as emotional watching them perform Grace, Too as I was in 2016. The emotion, the pain coming through. We lost a legend when he passed. There will never be another Gord. RIP
Same brain cancer for which the legendary Rush drummer/lyricist, Neil Peart, received his diagnosis- right around the time this performance occured (late summer, 2016). Gord would pass within less than a year. Neil lasted longer than most (thanks to fortunate genetics), succumbing in January 2020.
How two of Canada's most celebrated musicians handled their respective diagnosees and remaining time on earth was a student in contrast. Whereas Downey publicly embraced his fate and used the band's nationwide tour (in support of a new album, but delayed so he could undergo surgery and chemotherapy) to spotlight the plight of Canad's indigenous peoples, Peart told only thoze closest to him and swore them to silence. Notoriously shy and introverted, the last thing he would have wanted wohld have been for adoring fans to assemble in front of his home, singing Closer to the Heart (explained Rush's Geddy Lee).
Obviously, there's no right way to react to the certain (and essentially imminent) death sentence that comez with a diagnosis of Glioblastoma. I just find the contrast interesting, and obviously reflective of their different approaches to performing and to fame. The famously wild front man embraces his end and effectively publicizes it to person a personal conviction, while the drummer who always bolted for a waiting vehicle as soon as he last note was played decided for the strictest privacy instead.
I had a niece diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2007. She died in early 2009. It's very cruel cancer.
This concert was his way of saying goodbye to his family nationwide.
Thanks for this. Gord Downie and the Hip will always be loved and cherished by the Canadian people. My heart was breaking and a lump in my throat the whole time...very bittersweet ❤
That shout broke a nations heart. Thanks for not pausing it.
Well....I'm seeing this reaction through sober eyes this time lol.
Fuckin love you guys. Thanks so much for putting up with my harrassment for getting to this song 🤣.
Just for clarification, the song that Chuck listened to while Joel was off screen was the recorded version of this song so you guys have both only heard 2 by them so far.....more to come though 🤘.
As always....cheers, Bois!
This was a tough watch on a few levels. It was as a Canadian, knowingly Gord was struggling with his poetical stage performance as we knew it was their last good bye. On a different level, it's hard to let in our Southern brothers and sisters who where not there for that fantastic journey of 30 years. And to plop Gords last performance was unjust to ask these guys to truely react. I will say it was ok to ask an Amercian to react to a Candian band but let's just start off with soft stokes. The Hip was grown in our oun contry where we not only loved them for who they were and how tallented they were but we also just loved then just a little, because they were our own and we never wanted to share Gord and the boys with anyone else.
Great one! Thanks for sharing. I've been a fan of Tragically Hip, but was unaware of this performance. So, so special.
Better than the mainstream, congrats
The last song they played together as a band. I have a hard time making it through this encore.
In my opinion, the best frontman ever!
As a Hip fan since the years when they sold out Canadian concert venues and we would cross the border into Ohio and see them in bars, this performance wrecks me. Just wrecks me, and only fans will get that. We can hear the music that was, and hear the screaming good bye and the rage against the dying of the light.
Greetings from BC Canada
Canada in a T-Shirt
It's always hard listening to the last songs when our friend is gone,
All of Canada stopped when he died. Truly, there will be no one else like him. 🖤 Gord
Miss you Gord.
Miss you Gord❤
I won't watch the National Celebration video anymore. This was a goodbye concert and I love it for that. So much emotion. I can't watch it without crying.
Gord's brain surgery and chemo effects were very evident. Such courage.
There is a plethora of better performances though.
To be fair, this was the end of the second encore and he came back out for a 3rd encore aftsr that. Definitely recommend watching the entire show because it is amazing. ❤ "In Gord we trust!"
the only thing you could follow that up with, would be more Hip ;) Take caer... EH!
You guys need to listen to BTO - Blue Collar or Not fragile .. Cheers !
