The Tragically Hip - 2013-02-14, Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON - Full Show

[@beverleymersereau3037]

The Hip is soundtrack of my life. Its so hard to realize Gord is gone as hearing his voice reminds me so much of living . Rock on Gord , wherever you are 🤘

[@nieckolai]

The negative comments here bum me. Do you folks not know Gord at all? On any given night he is gonna present a different style and mood. On this night he was feelin'' some angst. And you know what? It fucking works! He sets the tone and can bring many different things to the songs. This was a time when his wife was just getting over a battle with breast cancer, you might forgive him if he is gonna blow of some steam at the old ACC.

[@bobberbro]

Well said, bud.

[@sherpajones]

Those who see Gord on stage as a singer are missing half the picture. The other half is he is an improv actor, fleshing out his feelings in the moment, the stories behind the songs, song lyrics in progress, or stories or images that just fit the moment for him. That is what he is as a frontman.

[@bitsabelle]

Absolute

[@MoneyTreeCare]

No, sorry. I would be super pissed if I saw this version of the show. Do your therapy elsewhere and perform in the way we all love.

[@mattblumke9815]

Ive had the VERY good fortune of seeing the Hip 10 times ( I live in Michigan btw). Ive seen many different Gord's on stage, but the one Gord I NEVER saw, was 'mail it in' Gord. He's real. His emotions are real. If you want to watch Live Between Us over and over, go right ahead.

[@AlexAnder-yj1qs]

No long weekend in Canada is complete without these boys. Rip Gordo.

[@elizabethkennedy7460]

If any of you with bad comments were really and truly Tragically Hip fans you would think otherwise...so therefore you aren't true Tragically Hip fans! Keep your bad comments to yourself. I would have loved to be at this concert and enjoyed it. Gord is such a character and really gets into his work. He was having a great time up there and being classic Gord Downie. I wouldn't want it any other way!

[@TheJdaldridge]

Elizabeth Kennedy I’d give anything to be able to go back in time and be at this show.

[@donporter2239]

Lighten up Liz.

[@tonyrizzo1457]

I was there nothing short of fn awesome RIP Gord

[@seamusin1697]

​@TheJdaldridge Same here. Gord Downie was a phenomenal frontman and a very modest and decent human being. There are two things I find criminal: one, that such an original and accomplished band didn't receive more attention and enjoy more popularity south of the border (Canada-US and second, that Gord was taken from us so soon at 53 years old when he still had so much left to offer us artistically. RIP Gord Downie

[@nickmoynihan61]

I'm with u on that 1 . I'm from NZ and would've sacrificed my left testicle( it's slightly smaller) to be Vibeing and rocking up front at a 'Hip concert back in the day. ❤🤙

The Hip and Gord can improve your mood in a few seconds! Thank you for sharing this concert with us! Gord lives on!

[@michealnadolski6130]

I'm so glad I got to spend a few minutes with him .it was one on one .for a dude who seemed larger than life he was a genuinely nice person .and just cool.

[@bruceduncan2952]

How can you not love this! Long time American Hip fan, always will be.

[@mcnowski]

The HIPS music reminds me of beautiful summers in Ontario Canada, fires, beers, adventures.

[@brinkybrinkz]

Yes! Ontario is one of the greatest places to live in the world! I was fortunate enough to see many Tragically Hip shows from the beginning to the end, they even played at my high school believe it or not.

[@MuzzikLvr]

This show is amazing! Gord is one of the best frontmen I've ever seen. He's not simply a singer...he's a delightfully weird performance artist. I love that The Hip never do the same show twice. Thank you @srb151 for posting this.

[@ldhorricks]

The HIP is one of those bands that when you go to one of their concerts, you leave feeling both elated and devastated...the kind of elation / devastation that only a vast trove of music can be the cause of....So much brilliance...so little time.

[@deederdoo]

Happy Canada day 2020. We miss you Gordie.

[@Funatic_Games]

I remember going to a Bob Dylan show one night, sitting next to Sass Jordan and neither one of could make out any of the songs. It sounded like one song from the beginning to the end of the show. It may not have been the best show musically but I got to sit in the presence of a poet, musician and entertainer for over two hours and I will never forget it. For those of us who have gotten to grow with The Hip throughout their career will know just how special he is. He transcends his own music and performances. He is so much more than who he is. We are very lucky to have had him and to call him Canadian.

[@MSEYQM]

Dylan's late shows were described as "cubist versions of Dylan songs." You're definitely not the only person to wonder what the hell he was performing, even if you recognized some of the lyrics.

[@seltonk5136]

Also, late in life dylan is awesome

[@c95w13]

This was my first and only hip show and i was mesmerized, the bizarre pain, angst, humour and stream of consciousness Gord had seasoned over the show was unlike anything I’d ever seen. Fuck i miss ya Gord, I was hoping I’d get to see you a couple more times but there is no ticket I hold more value to than the ticket I bought last min to see this show

[@townnerd1]

This is spot on. LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE! This is art!

[@COOOTER3]

A friend introduced me to The Tragically Hip with Road Apples and that was all it took.

[@mbrand19971]

I only saw the Hip play live once at that same venue which was around six years previous before this one and they put on a great show like they always have. Gord no matter how he sounds this is how he is a performer and everyone that has seen this band over these past 20 plus years gets of what he does live.

[@graffitiguru]

Don't be too quick to judge. he is perfectly on key.

[@colins7771]

Johnny Knowall he is a master. If anyone were to judge him this is the point of legendary.

[@jimrussell8376]

Excellent edit....well done....we miss you Gord.

[@mattvatcher5117]

I was at this concert. I had seen The Hip many many times, and remember feeling like Gord had an "off" night. Watching this back today, I realize that his performance just went right over my feeble brain and as usual I was watching poetry in motion. Shame on me to think otherwise.

[@ericboreen4040]

There's a lot to appreciate, and he was certainly on top of his pantomime game. The band played the music perfectly. In fact the band always appears to play the music perfectly. There's a boundary where creative license transitions to harming the product and at times that line got crossed.

[@justrightlife4972]

Everytime I pick up my guitar I always open with the tragically hip songs I love the challenge my friend was a roadie for the tragically hip I seen him on yt on the up to here tour it was amazing to see him standing in the background behind bobby with a guitar in his hand he mentored me on the tricky stuff then I realized it's too easy and too much fun.

[@wolfgangcarstens4995]

THIS is marrow deep punk gorgeousness! THANK YOU srb151 for posting!

[@colins7771]

This is a great soundboard of a usual (and awesome as usual) Hip show... Gord and the Guys crushing it as usual.... absolutely incredible performance.... and none of them are pushing to the max.... they are just waaay to good for their own worth... and this 'usual' / 'regular' Hip performance essentially means to a fan; the best concert ive ever been too. Cheers

[@scottbecker3850]

Not a soundboard. My seat was in an optimal place to record both audio & video

[@colins7771]

Scott Becker it’s a nice recording then! Great performance. It’s the Hip being awesome as always. As someone who has been to and seen the Hip often... they always had a unique performance each time and always crushed it out. Great band, one of the greatest.

[@EricHalloranSR]

Thank you very much for this excellent "H"igh "Q"uality live-performance pro-video. The ' Hip are possibly the most under listened to and under watched musical bands / performers of modern times !

[@thedavidic1]

Thank God for KZbin!!! without it we couldn't see Gordie babee - the way he was!! warts & all. if you didn't know he said the song was only half-done when it was written - it has to be performed - so here's the performance!!!

[@TDavidGohlke]

Never was a band so committed to the voice of "being" as was the HIP. Gord was a master...supported by a "masterful voice"... End of story.

Great band !!! Back in the 80’s I didn’t quite get it….mainly the lyrics. Now in my late 50’s I missed the boat big time… so under rated………but that’s what makes them so great. In out time’s Group of Seven…….not under stood till too late……so America they’re our band.

Love the Hip and seen them live but ..Never heard :Drip, Drip, Drip, before..whats-up? And Gordy at 01:27:40 is absolutely genius! Saw them live, at the Richmond Speedway..after a couple days of torrential rain, so the mid-field was knees deep in mud...Gordy called it "Another Mudslide Attraction"!

[@reidfarrill3917]

Amazing how big The Hip were in Canada while the USA never embraced the band in the same way. I have heard a concise explanation as to the "continental divide". The music alone is brilliant and should have had much deeper commercial penetration in the United States.

I've been a huge fan since '89 and seen them in Seattle about 5-6 times. Taking my wife and 8 year old daughter when they come in Sept 2015. I can not for the life of me understand why they can fill stadiums in Canada and can only fill halls in the US. Most underrated band in the US of all time. I don't get it. We are stupid.
