So many years after his passing I still come back to this. What a lovely tribute to an amazing man. What a life he lived to affect people so greatly. Rest in peace gordie
You, too? I don't think I have been as affected by someone's death as I have been by our beautiful Gord. Actually, Prince's death really got me, but Gord....well, Gord.
Casey from The Dear Hunter. Dallas has the voice of an angel but has become overrated this past decade. Casey's got one of my favourite voices with a lot of range, he's also a way better musician & songwriter than Dallas. & I've seen Dallas & Alexis over 15 times here in Toronto. I even have an Alexis tattoo, but yeah, The Dear Hunter blows him away. No question. Incredibly underrated. I'd recommend The Dear Hunters Audiotree Live session & the Color Spectrum live DVD on UA-cam. They've only gotten better with age
@@annietikivik246 I cry everyday, because I miss him so much. I have to try not to think about him somedays, but I have tributes to him in my house all over.
When I was 16, I left my home in Canada to go live in another country. It was Gord and the music of The Hip that helped me find my way back home. I'll never forget.
There are 10 people with thumbs down ! I don't know what is going on in there lives but I hope some day they can feel the beauty and love this man has for his Family , his art , his band mates and his country ! Life is Beautiful and this man let me see this through his eyes and I thank him for this . Thanks Gord
read the comments ... i think it has more to with this Dallas dude feud of fans and not fans of some sort ... snot noses bringing there lil sisters backyard talent comment to Gords tribute trying to act all fckn a propo on music ... idiots and hosers
Frederick Street and King St., Kitchener Ontario used were playing three nights at the centre in the Square. We met you treated me like a gentleman. I’ll never forget it.
I think I held my breath for the entirety of _Bobcaygeon_ so as not to miss a single note. That was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. What a perfect tribute.
Dallas really sung Bobcaygeon incredibly beautifully - with a poignant reverence and loving admiration for Gord. Bobcaygeon has always been one of my many many favorite songs by the Hip. RIP Gord
One of the few true Beautiful Human Beings. God must be so proud. He made me proud to be a Canadian. You will live on in our hearts "He Who Walks Amongst the Stars."
My friend and I met Gord at a Waterkeepers fundraiser. Despite his monumental impact on the Canadian psyche and identity, it was my 30 min interaction with him that left me with a sense of peace and awe because he was so attentive and kind and wanted to know so much about us. He is what we should all aspire to be. RIP Gord.
The very first time listening to the tragically hip in the early 90s, I actually thought they were a American group. I thought what a unique and amazing band, I found out later they were a Canadian band, not that it has anything to do with their music, but I became a hip fan, and still am, I'm an ojicree native, and the hip had fans everywhere I'm sure, their music most definitely had a universal language that spoke to many.
Gord Downie carried a passion and conviction in his lyrics and performances that very few artists could ever match. He inspired millions through his poetry and purpose, and I feel blessed to have been able to enjoy him for the last 3 decades. RIP Gord.
I have watched this so many times, I can't count. My love for Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip is beyond the words I can ever express. But I just need to say, that this Remembrance of HIM, makes me so happy and I love it so much. So, I am thankful for all of you, for your tribute to Mr Gord Downie
I'm 1:38 in and I'm already crying like a little school girl. I lost my best friend the same day that I lost my favourite musician October 17th 2017 will forever be the worst day I've spent on earth, and heavens greatest day.
"Listening to Gord is making me cry. You're leaving me high in Canada Dry...". Thanks BNL for paying homage to this great soul. See you in heaven, God willing.
Life is so unfair.. beautiful video compilation of a gorgeous man gone too soon ❤️ 15 years fan of Dallas from the UK, didn’t know who Gord was before he was on Sleeping Sickness, then last year I found this Bobcaygen cover and then learnt of Gords passing and really started listening to the Hips’s music.. so sorry for Canada he seems like a absolute legend xxx ❤️
My "introduction" to Canada - Ontario and driving into Kingston down the "Hip" way.... listening to Wheat Kings.... on my way to Gananoque ... I wanted to stay forever and listen to Gord
Sweet person that me and my husband were lucky to meet in Chicago in the 90s when my husband won a writing contest to go back stage. I love your music even more today
Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil in there...Midnight Oil toured Canada once upon a time, and the Hip supported them. Gord always said that their two bands were doing the same work in different corners of the world.
Still not over the loss. Can’t imagine I ever will be over it. He wrote the lyrics to my Canadian life. He raised awareness for Indigenous injustice with such grace. What would he have said today about BLM? I have a guess however I wish I could hear it from him.
I was able to watch anything about Gord because it was too difficult. It still is but I’m doing it anyway. He was a true human, Canadian, and artist. Man who walks among the stars I pray your legacy lives on and your dream of reconciliation becomes reality. Thank you from a First Nations woman.
Beautiful he would be so proud and thankful and grateful and happy to be Canadian and to see how we all loved him and his amazing talent and heart ♥ fly high with the Angeles
Yes. Please. Thank you. Have to mention, my dear Little Beef and rest of crew up yonder that I acknowledge how awesome one of your favorite canuk artists is- every time I listen to him or his stuff. Glad you turned me on years ago. Gives me something of the wonder, bliss, inconceivable comfort and warmth Michael Houser brings when I listen to his stuff. Each time I delve into The Hip I'm more fascinated by his music, his life; and how and why I adore Canadians so much.
He's someone that told us ... His last performance with the Hip, he told us... Gord KNEW ...he was the guy that told people about the places that produced those 215 graves. It's the Canada he knew we could find. It's the Canada he SAW before he left this world. I wanna be there that day when we see it. When we get there.
Girlfriend new to Canada heard the song Bobcaygeon Never knowing the words she bobbed her head And said whats the song about ? ..I was all about telling her The hip is about Canada its a fibre i can't explain.........That weekend i took her to Bobcaygeon Layed on a picnic table drinking beers as the night sky fell in the background went to the car and played Bobcaygeon...She said...I get it ....wow
I need to find a recorded version of Dallas singing Bobcaygeon!!
Fuck that guy can sing like the fucking wind!!!
I wish City and Colour would release one! Saw him sing Bobcaygeon live in 2016 and have wanted it ever since.
Almost 2023 and we’re still here Gord 💕
2024, and still here!
Gord Downie was too good for this world. That's the only way I can make sense of losing him.
So many years after his passing I still come back to this. What a lovely tribute to an amazing man. What a life he lived to affect people so greatly. Rest in peace gordie
Beautiful tribute. #ThanksGord
I started crying before I even clicked on this
You, too? I don't think I have been as affected by someone's death as I have been by our beautiful Gord. Actually, Prince's death really got me, but Gord....well, Gord.
@@Tassie85 sane. My heart still aches every time I turn on my Hip tunes.
Dallas is the most underrated songwriter, musician of this generation. He is a genius and has the voice of a angel. Thank you Dallas

@@curbfeld9558 overrated...you must be high
Overrated haha you must be on another planet. He only gets credit within Canada and never gets recognized how can ypu say he is overrated.
My brother used to beat his emo ass up for lunch money 😂
what
Tears... tears flowing. RIP Gord.
it took me a long time to watch Gord's tributes... I didn't think I could handle it... still not certain, but I'm trying. RIP you weird
genius
Everytime I watch this I cry. I love Gord I'm very grateful for what he left behind and taught us.
@@annietikivik246 I cry everyday, because I miss him so much. I have to try not to think about him somedays, but I have tributes to him in my house all over.
I am so glad I got about 5 minutes of one on one time with him here In Detroit
First time seeing this... awesome! Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. RIP Gord....🙏❤️🇺🇲🇨🇦
Dallas Green is such a great singer. it's not even funny. That guy is just pure gold each time he step behind a mic. RIP Gord
Dallas and Sarah's harmonies at the end were, just...wow. RIP.
drumtravelfun two phenomenal musicians paying tribute to one of the greats.
The harmonies were just right
Miigwetch for everything Gord! Awesome tribute.
When I was 16, I left my home in Canada to go live in another country. It was Gord and the music of The Hip that helped me find my way back home. I'll never forget.
That’s the most beautiful and poetic thing I’ve ever read
I never realized how beautiful this song is with a two part harmony.
The story from both sides. It’s just as beautiful
There are 10 people with thumbs down ! I don't know what is going on in there lives but I hope some day they can feel the beauty and love this man has for his Family , his art , his band mates and his country ! Life is Beautiful and this man let me see this through his eyes and I thank him for this . Thanks Gord
read the comments ... i think it has more to with this Dallas dude feud of fans and not fans of some sort ... snot noses bringing there lil sisters backyard talent comment to Gords tribute trying to act all fckn a propo on music ... idiots and hosers
Dallas’s interpretation here is absolutely sublime. You can hear his and Sarah’s love for their friend just beautifully.
Frederick Street and King St., Kitchener Ontario used were playing three nights at the centre in the Square. We met you treated me like a gentleman. I’ll never forget it.
I think I held my breath for the entirety of _Bobcaygeon_ so as not to miss a single note.
That was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. What a perfect tribute.
Makes me tear up every time I watch it. 😢 such a beautiful tribute. I can’t believe he’s gone.
Dallas really sung Bobcaygeon incredibly beautifully - with a poignant reverence and loving admiration for Gord. Bobcaygeon has always been one of my many many favorite songs by the Hip. RIP Gord
One of the few true Beautiful Human Beings.
God must be so proud.
He made me proud to be a Canadian.
You will live on in our hearts "He Who Walks Amongst the Stars."
The reel they show of gord when city and colour plays always gets me 🥲

All these years later...still crying

Dallas Green has such a lovely voice. Wow.
Sarah Harmer's voice is so comforting.
Oh I miss you. So much, thank you
Canada loves our treasure!!! We miss him:(
Gord Downie carried a passion and conviction in his lyrics and performances that very few artists could ever match. He inspired millions through his poetry and purpose, and I feel blessed to have been able to enjoy him for the last 3 decades. RIP Gord.
Canada has great musicians. Gems
I have watched this so many times, I can't count. My love for Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip is beyond the words I can ever express. But I just need to say, that this Remembrance of HIM, makes me so happy and I love it so much. So, I am thankful for all of you, for your tribute to Mr Gord Downie
You read my mind......beyond beautiful and made me extremely emotional
Thank you Canada for such an amazing band ❤️
5:09 Dallas Green’s cover was so good!
I'm 1:38 in and I'm already crying like a little school girl.
I lost my best friend the same day that I lost my favourite musician October 17th 2017 will forever be the worst day I've spent on earth, and heavens greatest day.

If you can't taste your tears you ain't human
October 17 2017 was a sad day for all of canada rip gordie you will be missed
Gord Downie was such an incredible person. My heart hurt to hear he passed, and I love learning more about his incredible work and legacy.
The woman with the hockey stick just kills me every time.
My "introduction" to Canada - Ontario and driving into Kingston down the "Hip" way.... listening to Wheat Kings.... on my way to Gananoque ... I wanted to stay forever and listen to Gord
still right in the feels
I still cant not get tears. He really touched lives.
I’ve watched and re watched this probably 100+ times, and I still get chills every time.
Speechless , if people can sing like that everyone should be happy to be on this planet because I can't get enough of this AMAAAAAAAZING performance
3 decades of shooting star brilliance. God bless the honorable genius of Gord Downie.
Everytime I watch this I cry. What he left behind I cannot put to words. He has helped so many people. ❤ courageous big heart.
After all this time, I can just weep, about Gord, and his legacy, and the beautiful renditions of his work, and his friends
RIP Gord. We love you and will continue to follow in your footsteps to help with reconciliation.
A deep loss 2 us in Canada ......we love u Gord xoxo 2020 ty... Tom Peake ....missing The Hip
Sweet person that me and my husband were lucky to meet in Chicago in the 90s when my husband won a writing contest to go back stage. I love your music even more today
Perfection
Man the Clips of Gord while Dallas Green Sings Bobcaygeon gets you 🥺 RIP Gord
such a humble man
Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil in there...Midnight Oil toured Canada once upon a time, and the Hip supported them. Gord always said that their two bands were doing the same work in different corners of the world.
To all who made this happen: thank you kindly.
Still not over the loss. Can’t imagine I ever will be over it. He wrote the lyrics to my Canadian life. He raised awareness for Indigenous injustice with such grace. What would he have said today about BLM? I have a guess however I wish I could hear it from him.
God I miss him! Feels like we're still trying to find our voices again after having our nations vocal chords removed!
A caretakeing knight with a gift of translating vision into words. As common people places and truths are memorialized forever in song.
I was able to watch anything about Gord because it was too difficult. It still is but I’m doing it anyway. He was a true human, Canadian, and artist. Man who walks among the stars I pray your legacy lives on and your dream of reconciliation becomes reality. Thank you from a First Nations woman.
BRAVO! I bet not a dry eye watching this wonderful tribute, to a wonderful Canadian musical icon. Miss you Gord!
Balled my eyes out!

That was lovely. Very moving.

I see Gord and life is good and plus a huge smile on my face ! Thanks Gord .
Beautiful he would be so proud and thankful and grateful and happy to be Canadian and to see how we all loved him and his amazing talent and heart ♥ fly high with the Angeles
Love how Peter Mansbridge wrote "determined" on his his hand. For us to see how Gord helped us. A quiet homage to "Introduce Yerself".
Yes. Please. Thank you. Have to mention, my dear Little Beef and rest of crew up yonder that I acknowledge how awesome one of your favorite canuk artists is- every time I listen to him or his stuff. Glad you turned me on years ago. Gives me something of the wonder, bliss, inconceivable comfort and warmth Michael Houser brings when I listen to his stuff.
