The Tragically Hip were amazing!!
by Timyself on 2009-07-11Massey Hall - TorontoI went to the Friday night show of a 6-night series at Massey Hall. The show was awesome! The crowd was totally pumped and Gord and the guys delivered ... in spades!!! I think Gord Downey went through 30 handkerchiefs, which after some playing with them and wiping his face, became souvenirs for some fans on the floor. His theatrics were at times eccentric, but no one seemed to mind. The band are fantastic, and the unplugged segment was truly worth the price of admission. My only regret is that i did not go to the final show, as Alex Lifeson made a surprise appearance (well, surprise to the fans ... not sure about the band) and played guitar for 2 songs. Now THAT would have been truly memorable! Thanks to the band for an awesome night.
