Great song, and one of their best. Saw The Hip in concert in Moncton back in 2005, and this song wasn't played because New Orleans was underwater at the time.
well, my memory is muddy but i think i saw them in the early 90´s in berlin´s old metropol theatre at the nollendorfplatz ... wotarecord - just f... great !!
Mscott, You are in Luck. They played this at The Towne Ballroom in Buffalo 2 weeks ago. 3/12/07 Hopefully you get a chance to see it "live" for your self.
Great tune, but the hip has grown soooooo much since then. And every album they put out is better than their last. Highlights: Day for Night, Phantom Power, World Container.
well they say wine is about Personal Taste and so is music so I prefer a silver oak cab from Napa or a Chehalem chardonnay from Willamette Valley while I listen to The Tragically Hip
Kim Mitchell... nice. Foo Fighters, Weezer and Radiohead aren't Canadian and neither is Oasis (thank GOD). But it was in Canada where Noel Gallagher was recently attacked onstage. But there's also: The New Pornographers Stars Sarah Harmer Odds Neil Young Rascalz The Tea Party Sam Roberts Blue Rodeo Cowboy Junkies
Who would have ever thought that Gordie could see into the future and warned Katrina was on her way if anybody's offended it's just a joke I know it was a tragedy millions and thousands of people lost their homes loved ones animals it's all just in fun so please spare me the hate comments about New Orleans I'm from Buffalo New York you can make just as much fun as us but it were a great city as well
Arcade Fire Stars those two bands alone trump any American bands except Green Day Silversun Pickups Sonic Youth R.A.T.M. a couple others... but Arcade Fire! what American band even comes close??
I looked up to the Gord above and said, "Hey man, thanks." RIP
Underrated...Yet one of the best bands of all time.
Absolutely. Grew up in Niagara Falls by. Close to them. Amazing band
Awesome song by Tragically Hip. One of my favorite songs by Tragicall Hip. Amazing Canadian band.

Proto-grunge...that´s what this is: Proto-grunge.
Amazing song... even stronger since Katrina.
Great tune, but the hip has grown soooooo much since then. And every album they put out is better than their last. Highlights: Day for Night, Phantom Power, World Container.
Agreed
“ looked up to the Lord above and said hey man, thanks”✝️🙏🏻
Some real crazy Kanucks!

kingston R.E.P.
The sweet
..looked up to the Gord above and said 'Hey, man, thanks.'
Canadian music is the best man
for those with taste
in the first place
:)
The Tea Party are good aswell.
It was almost a prediction of Katrina and the reaction to it.
well od course
Can't believe you forgot Rush.
@red69head1979 at least WXRT 93.1 Chicago was, and they still play the Hip to this day...always sponsor/promote the live shows in Chicago, too
OH MAMA...........
lets not forget about arcade fire as well
More New Orleans Here, type in -
The Day New Orleans Stood Still
well they say wine is about Personal Taste and so is music so I prefer a silver oak cab from Napa or a Chehalem chardonnay from Willamette Valley while I listen to The Tragically Hip
Kim Mitchell... nice.
Foo Fighters, Weezer and Radiohead aren't Canadian and neither is Oasis (thank GOD). But it was in Canada where Noel Gallagher was recently attacked onstage.
But there's also:
The New Pornographers
Stars
Sarah Harmer
Odds
Neil Young
Rascalz
The Tea Party
Sam Roberts
Blue Rodeo
Cowboy Junkies
April Wine, Trooper
gordo and the boys fucking ROCK!
sadly, Sublime is gone
but like everything else,
a musical favourite list is subjective
to each their own
...wouldn't want it any other way
blue rodeo and gordon lightfoot as well
Like the video, idk about the lyrics. It's so true & sad! But I can't believe he drank Mike the goldfish on accident!!! hahaha
Oh Fuckin Mama...... :)
The Guess Who are from Winnipeg.
OH Fucking Mama..... H .
woops....it actually sunk
Did you know that there is actually more than two bands from Canada? Headfull of Nothing is one.
what about rush
Green Day?
Srsly?
XD
And Sublime beats em.
...No. It's not. It was simply pulled from the airwaves for a short time, if I am thinking straight.
of course you do cause Canada is the best!!
it sad such lil views on here
that's ok
it's not like it's a political issue
remember:
vote early, vote often!
weird! gord used to have long hair
lemkyy your banned from ontario too
Who would have ever thought that Gordie could see into the future and warned Katrina was on her way if anybody's offended it's just a joke I know it was a tragedy millions and thousands of people lost their homes loved ones animals it's all just in fun so please spare me the hate comments about New Orleans I'm from Buffalo New York you can make just as much fun as us but it were a great city as well
anyone pick up on the fact the homeless guy in the video drank the fish??
this song is for all the catts and dogs of new orleans.
Mick Jagger ain’t got shit on Gords funky rock shake....
umm, leonard cohen? The band? Neil Fucking Young?
the arcade fire are kind of and acquired taste.
Arcade Fire
Stars
those two bands alone trump any American bands
except
Green Day
Silversun Pickups
Sonic Youth
R.A.T.M.
a couple others...
but
Arcade Fire!
what American band even comes close??
I think that Gordon Downie would get his ass kicked if he opened his set with this one in N'oleans.
and its tone d-e-a-f and n-u-m-b-n-u-t-s haha
Nickelback? Billy Talent? Yikes. Please don't tell me that's the best you can think of.
no.. just.. no....
like I said - - overrated.
Rush sucks... extremely overrated band.
Billy Talent.... HAS NONE!
The Guess Who rocks.. The Hip have some good tunes too.
