Live at Massey Hall: This Is Our Life - In Conversation With The Tragically Hip

[@TheRobbrown]

I love the Hip. 40 years, 13 studio albums, and over 1200 concerts later… the boys are still telling stories, connecting with us, and reminding us what it means to be Canadian. I’m proud to be a fan.

[@JimmysOldTimeRadioShow]

Thank you for this, CBC (essential Canadian cultural institution...don't defund!), and thank you, Hip, for everything. I lived in Walkerton during the water crisis...you came and lifted us...'Silver Jet' to open the set. But my favourite memory, the final tour, the final show, televised, I was gigging that night, another retirement home concert (my schtick) in Winnipeg, I knew I'd miss the first half-hour of your show, but the facility graciously provided a guest suite, so the moment I finished my show, I apologized to my venerable audience and dashed to the TV in my room, leaving my gear in the common room. About an hour later, a PSW knocked on my door, asking, "Are you getting your gear?" "After THE HIP!", I shouted. I think she understood. I was transfixed and immovable. Love you guys. Skarni

Haha, what an amazing memory! Thank you for sharing! And thank you for the kind words as well ❤

The Tragically Hip. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Incredible. Just. Incredible.

When I think, as a Canadian the culture of our country, I see Hockey with team Canada, I see our beautifully simple maple leaf flag, and The Tragically Hip as the soundtrack of this country.

[@garyzeiger172]

Thx all, lil did you know we needed this , Cheers !

[@cbcmusic]

Happy we could share it with you! 🙌

[@roopgill8524]

OMG! Trouble at the Henhouse is probably my favorite album! I'm so sorry to hear it was such a negative experience. I remember when it came out I was thinking "My God these guys are just getting better and better!".

[@ghandimauler]

Saw them in Kingston in the stadium at Queens. Saw them again in a bar on Ontario street (I think that venue is gone now). What a talent. A gift to Canada.

[@that.mother.tucker]

Love them to bits. 🥰

[@deanrobert9953]

Very nice. Been a fan the whole way. Thanks for everything. Cheers

[@jennd4590]

Love them and miss them.

[@lauramowbray1226]

this is beautiful

[@dmc2087]

As a proud Canadian I like all Canadian Bands , first time I saw the Hip live in Victoria I wasn't impressed at all But the second time I was hooked and am a huge fan ever since , RIP Gord miss you !

[@cbcmusic]

A beautiful story! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@taconomad1862]

One of the only good things the CBC has done in the past years! Bravo!!

[@JeffGauvin-z8u]

Was such a great night! And my Brother and I getting to spend 10 minutes before they got on stage was an honor ! Thanks again Q107

[@cbcmusic]

Amazing! Glad you got to share that moment with your brother 🙌

[@JeffGauvin-z8u]

@@cbcmusic We sure did! And we made the cut at the 29:14 mark and again later!

[@dougcallaghan6075]

Thinking back to The Hip on SNL and the killer version of Nautical Disaster they played that night. Gord Downie had just the right amount of menace and madness in that performance, and Johnny was so locked in on the drums. This interview...I hadn't seen Johnny Fay in years. I thought it was a different person altogether (the book's curator or the doc's director). Alas it was Mr. Fay.

[@bigdaddy4197]

I’m surprised Ron didn’t try and knife them in the back like he did to Don. Other than that great interview . Love you guys.

[@ajparr5585]

I think Rob had a few beverages before this😂

[@glengamble526]

Indeed he did.

[@glengamble526]

He’s HAMMERED.

[@BobSimpson-rq6kt]

Loaded.

[@StereoAnthony]

Ok, I was coming to see if it was just me or not. I was like either he's drunk, or I just don't know how he normally is.

[@JordanOGrady-o7j]

Thanks again guys! I thought for a second they were going to air my question after Don!

[@douglasdog1]

Great! Enjoyed it. Ron could of cut it down

[@onelove1968]

There was an entire line of fans waiting patiently to ask questions. RM is a self-absorbed weasel.

[@douglasdog1]

@ yeah, I was trying to be nice. He took a lot of time for his own interests. Couldn’t wait for him to shut it.

[@boredofcanada]

That was a missed opportunity to ask Rob about mushrooms.

[@cbcmusic]

Excited for Dont Box Me In 🙌🙌

[@LisaHall-e2r]

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@dougdean8996]

Rob seems like a ticking time bomb full of anger which he has to let go.

[@davidm469]

Sat front row

[@cbcmusic]

Amazing! What did you think?

[@dawgdrummer]

You ok Johnny?

[@dougdean8996]

Are you asking, why?

[@tunzlover1682]

Ron, you are behind by a century.

[@dougdean8996]

Ron is such a suck up.

[@bigdaddy4197]

Johnny looking frail. Hope he is okay.

[@dougdean8996]

Pale in the face, hope he’s okay.

[@ajparr5585]

Sit down Ron

[@sparklenugget]

what number would gord downie wear?

[@scottmcrae3355]

4 would be my guess

[@gordisnardy8261]

He was a goalie, I'd go with 1

[@onelove1968]

30 - Gerry Cheevers (Goalie). He won 2 Stanley Cups with Boston in 72 and 74.

[@rockiex6500]

11 - Gilbert Perreault

[@99jaystang]

This was great until Ron MacLean showed up.
