I would guess

Oh, huh, it had never occurred to me they might be saving that for last, I just assumed they played it earlier.

 

[Cmagus]

More than half the neighbourhood here is at a Hip screening party. Our entire street is blasting Hip it's all you can hear.

 

[Learn2read]

They have such a ridiculously deep bench. Who knows what they'll pull.

 

[Nudull]

Will this be online in full after it's all said and done?

 

[calder]

This concert has been unreal, huge props to CBC for airing it live and commercial free

 

[excelsiorlef]

Will this be online in full after it's all said and done?

No

Not via CBC anyway

 

[Joeku]

Will this be online in full after it's all said and done?

I can only assume so. I think Youtube streams get cached, so it should be on CBC Music in perpetuity. Not positive on that though.

Edit: Welp, nevermind, I'm a dummy.

I live in Kingston, but i just feel like shit and am having a nice quiet night inside. I'm sure it'll be pretty damn hectic downtown. Shame to miss it though.

They showed what I think are the streets and the square behind city hall (it's been a long time since I've been in Kingston) and everything was packed with people.

 

[Kraftwerk]

FUCK YES

 

[calder]

"One more and then we're ah, gonna hit the road..."


Almost lost it.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

HERE WE GO

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Awesome.

 

[capitalCORN]

YEAH!

 

[Savitar]

The final one.

Fitting.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yep this broke me.

They didn’t play this when I went in Van (first show).


This is the song of theirs for me

 

[Silexx]

Ok, this has been bugging me, but is that Dave Grohl on stage or did the Hip have a look alike all this time?

 

[RC]

Awesome!

Fitting closing.

I was there last night when they were setting everything and testing the lights, all of downtown looked beautiful.

Rob Baker? He's been in the band since day 1.

 

[Silexx]

Rob Baker? He's been in the band since day 1.

OK. Sadly, Gord was always the only recognizable member for for me.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Every Tragically Hip song is absolutely Canadian. That's why I love this band. What a fantastic show.

Thank you for everything Gord.

 

[ryan-ts]

Amazing!

 

[capitalCORN]

Let it be known, a great piece of Canadiana has past our eyes tonight. I hope our children could have a similar moment. :')

 

[dream]

The absolute dignity of this motherfucker, my god. Thank you, Gord.

 

[Parch]

That was awesome.
I saw the Hip a couple of times in the 90's. Downie is just amazing. Nobody does passion and insanity better. Truly ahead by a century.
I will cry when he's gone.

 

[RC]

He saved his best for last. Glad I could
Witness it.

 

[lamaroo]

Amazing

 

[killer rin]

That was a great concert... but seriously, Fuck cancer

 

[Boogie]

What a fucking concert.

 

[excelsiorlef]

This was a moment in Canadian history folks.

Honoured to have shared it with y'all

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Great job, guys.

 

[Wedge7]

Great job by CBC

 

[bananafactory]

CBC is nothing but class. They always handles these events so respectfully

 

[SirUltimos]

That entire thing was a moment to remember. I'm glad I got to watch it, even if just on TV.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Is anybody NOT crying right now?

 

[SRG01]

Ahead by a century. What a way to end the concert.


That's also the first ever Tragically Hip song I heard when I was a new immigrant to Canada.

 

[disappeared]

Goddamn.

"Your disappointment's getting me down."


That was the first and now the last song I ever heard them play.

Jesus.

 

[Easystride]

This was such a great gift to the fans. Amazing show. As a Minnesota native, I only wish Prince would've had the same opportunity as Prince is to Minnesota as the Tragically Hip are to Canada.

 

[Joeku]

Yep, that was great.

 

[capitalCORN]

Is anybody NOT crying right now?

Manly tears my friend. Manly fucking tears.

 

[Hurt and Scared]

Man what a great show and enough good things cannot be said about cbc's production of the show with no commercials

 

[squidyj]

That was a great fucking concert.

 

[phoenix296]

Incredible concert.

 

[RC]

So glad I went to the viewing party. Great time had by all.

Amazing yet tragic at the same time.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Still annoyed I missed Wheat Kings at the beginning, but that was still totally worth watching. I'm not a very patriotic person -- I don't care about the Olympics, I don't care about hockey, I've never sewed our flag on my backpack -- but the Hip still made me feel a little sense of Canadian pride. The only time I ever saw them in concert was Woodstock '99, and I'll always remember turning around at one point during their set and seeing a sea of Canadian flags. They were so great. Definitely going to miss not having them around.

 

[excelsiorlef]

CBC Music having a beautiful post talk.

 

[disappeared]

I'm half drunk and half sad and I don't know what to do with the rest of this night.

 

[Savitar]

That is what you call an event.

The one that you remember.

 

[Dunlop]

Fantastic concert
