Love these guys so much . We all know Gord is not replaceable. There will no longer be a “tragically hip” without Gord .. but I wish the 4 of them could make music again together somehow . Call it something else .. maybe Gord Sinclair and Paul could share vocals . Both are decent on vocals . They can’t just stop making music together.. the chemistry is just too good to let fade away .

BACK IN 1996 WE DROVE FROM BRAMPTON ONTARIO ALL THE WAY TO CINCINATTI OHIO TO SEE THE HIP ON THE DAY FOR NIGHT TOUR ( I THINK ) AND SAW THEM IN A TINY LITTLE DINGY BAR CALLED " BOGARTS " IT WAS AWESOME, THERE HAD TO BE ONLY LIKE 10 PEOPLE INTHERE AND GORDIE AND THE BOYS PLAYED EVERY SONG WE REQUESTED, I HAD A 50 MISSION-CAP LEAFS JERSEY ON AND I KEPT YELLING PLAY THE LEAFS SONG, AND GORD DOWNIE LOOKED DOWN AT ME AND SAID " ITS COMING ITS COMING " AND THEY ALL STAYED OUT BACK WITH US FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH THEIR OPENING BAND " CLARISSA " AND TALKED TO THE 3 CAR LOADS THAT MADE OUR WAY FROM CANADA... JOHNNY FAY THANKS FOR THE SNARE DRUM, AND ROBBIE THANKS FOR THE PICS.... YOU ARE THE SOUNDTRACK TO MANY OF OUR LIVES...
THANK YOU
SLUSH

Neat story, it’s amazing TTH had solid homeland success at that point but maybe way less recognition in Cincinnati Ohio..

[@msmoniz]

I remember Crack My Spine... from the Much Music concert special of the Hip Live From The Misty Moon in Halifax

Reformed Baptiste is soooo good

[@mikebaker4190]

I was one of the lucky people who got to see the boys play at Kingston Pen with a great line up of Canadian bands. Still have my tin cup.

[@fionabuchanan7787]

I saw them at the Commodore in Vancouver - best concert I've ever experienced. I also went on to see them at many other venues but that night was magical.

[@rawkinj6609]

So glad i found this!! Thank you 😀
Rob Baker is one of the biggest influences on my guitar playing. Learned Hip songs rewinding cassettes over and over..with my high school band!! And Gord is such a great versatile bassist man!! Must be so weird to get time travelled back to those days!! Great Interview!

[@ldhorricks]

same for me...I'm still playing Hip songs...a while back Rick Beato did a top 20 great two guitar bands...I love Rick, but I spared him no ire in leaving out The Hip...I wonder if he even knows who they are.

[@427bullis]

I saw these guys near the Buffalo airport early 90’s. Strong band

[@andymacdougal]

These guys have been the soundtrack to my life. I still cry over losing Gordon more than I probably should. Thankful for the dozens of shows I was fortunate to see from Boston to Los Angeles, Montreal to DC. I love you guys

[@marcus_starr]

Great interview. Great new album.

[@dathorndike4908]

Now release "Get Back Again". I know it exists. I have a copy of it. Full band version, studio quality. It is as well produced as anything on Saskadelphia.

[@JayEduards]

Montreal is my favourite, wish there was a studio version.

[@paulcolbourne5555]

There are at least 50 to 100 unreleased songs that have been ciculating since the napster days if anyone wants to hear some stuff hit me up!!
