The Tragically Hip - New Orleans Is Sinking (With Nautical Disaster)

[@Mark-o6e7p]

The mix of those two songs is incredible!

[@derekpolano3654]

So if no one has mentioned it yet, when they performed New Orleans is Sinking live, they would try out new songs in the middle part that hadn't been released yet. This was one, the last version you watched had ahead by a Century in the middle. Gord was an absolute genius and the band would just follow his lead wherever he decided to go on any given night.

Keep doing more Hip! Best band of all time.

Gordie never gave anything but 120% in concert, saw them many times live always worth every penny.

This unfortunately /fortunately got a lot of airtime during hurricane Katrina.

[@carolmclean8513]

​@trappenweisseguy27 not in Canada it didn't. Most radio stations, out of respect did not play this song for about a year after Katrina

[@garya7893]

I never knew that i always liked Canada and now i like them more for that Unlike Alanta who played Scorpions song Rock you Like A Hurricane the first time we played then at their stadium It never bothered me it just showed their lack of class @@carolmclean8513

[@johnantonioni9654]

Their best song.

I was just about to say Gordie reminds me Michael from REM his way of his style of singing, and yes Eddie Vedder and his tripping on the monitor on stage. I love his stage presents, guitar player is awesome!! I enjoyed that, awesome reaction Rory and thank you Scott for awesome request!! 😊🔥💓🤘✌️

Nautical disaster is about the Canadian soldiers that got just slaughtered in Normandy. World war ii. As a Canadian nothing makes me happier than watch someone experience the hip for the first time

[@johnm.2633]

With the feedback, you probably couldn't catch the end of nautical disaster, which is one of the best rock lyrics of all time. So after detailing this long dream he has about being in a nautical disaster and escaping in a lifeboat, he sings, "And then the dream ends when the phone rings. 'You're doing alright,' he said. 'It's out there most days and nights but only a fool would complain. Anyway, Susan, if you like, our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory as those fingernails scratching on my hull.'

Ontario Place Forum. Performances in the round. That circular stage is designed to slowly revolve 360 degrees clockwise, throughout the show. Gord's shirt ... "Save The Humans!"

[@MrTableDesk]

Man Nautical Disaster is such a chilling song.

[@rickthestiks9240]

now we can see what its all about, one of a kind canadian band, (SWIM)🤘🏊‍♂🤘

[@tilemonkee5510]

If this song doesn't put a smile on yer face , then fookya! ❤😂❤😂

[@hollysmith9979]

Yes he does sound similar to Michael from REM good observation....I like these guys😊

[@Follower_of_Christ498]

Not the best quality sound I know, but was more of an intent to show the atmospheric response to the fans, as it is a more intimate setting where you can see Gord taking over the crowd. Can’t say enough how I miss his presence.

[@stevenfadelle9085]

Try new orleans is sinking "killer whale tank" version

[@JarJars_Bathwater]

Should check out more April Wine

[@ontarioguyincalgary4845]

Geez you look like Gord here 😄

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Live isn't great for reactions imo. This sounds soon much better on vinyl.

[@Jeremynicholson]

disagree this is gord at his best
