Not sure if this has been posted yet. Pretty cool interview with Cuddy about the Hip and Blue Rodeo's shared history.

If you could pick me up a poster with the CN Tower and Hip blue shirt in XL, i am going to the fundraiser and stuck at stupid work.

I will pay in you cash, buy you a beer to cheers Gord and all he has done and throw in a special Pearl Jam Boston souvenir (hoping you like Pearl Jam)?

Message me and I can give you my info. I really appreciate this and would return the favour anytime I can!

I was a loser and skipped buying one of these at the Winnipeg show last Friday, thinking I would order it online. I went to do so today and it appears to be sold out. I have a friend going to Toronto tonight and he said he can get me one, however if this falls through is there anyone that can grab me a poster at one of the next shows? It's $30, I am in Winnipeg and can e-transfer or Paypal you for the poster, shipping and extra for your trouble. Thanks!

"Although The Hip will be playing their last Toronto shows, their iconic music will continue to make its mark on Toronto's musical and cultural scene."

Aarrrgh. Nobody ever said this was the final tour. All this eulogizing does is puts pressure on them to make it the last. Gord's doctor just said he has another patient with the same tumour who is going on ten years since her diagnosis.

In the words of Walter Sobchuk, has the whole world gone crazy?

Does anyone have a copy of a duet that Gord did with Sara Craig on Murray McLachlan's CBC Radio show Swinging on a Star?

During the time of Road Apples, I attended a club show by The Hip in London, England. It was wild. Seemed that every single attendee was an ex-pat wearing something that indicated they were from Canada. But I cannot seem to find any indication of this gig. I don't recall the date (guessing 1990 or 1991) or venue but am hoping someone can fill in these details for me.

My first Hip show was an 89X Bash in 1993 at Chene Park in Detroit.

June 5th 1993 w/sg Crash Vegas (I believe)

With the prospect of this tour being the last, I'm looking back at shows I seen. I have found info on all of them but this one.... which (my first) alludes me. There is no info at TheHip.com or elsewhere that I can find.....

Any other Hipbasers at this show by chance?

I have looked/searched for years to find info on that show and have come up with nothing but a Poster from it. I'd love to see the setlist or if anyone else was there, share stories etc.

Bueller?? :thumb:

Gord Downie’s doctor in awe of Tragically Hip singer’s courage, energy on tour
By David Shum



As Gord Downie’s neuro-oncologist, Dr. James Perry knew his patient would face mental and physical challenges while on stage for The Tragically Hip’s cross-Canada tour but admits he never doubted the frontman’s conviction, boldness and energy as a performer.

Story continues below

Global News
“I was impressed. That’s what I can say. The best moment for me was the very first time they took the stage in Victoria, in those crazy suits he’s wearing now were designed even before his diagnosis,” Perry said during an interview on Global’s The Morning Show.

“My wife was with me at that particular show and she said, ‘Wow, that’s what hope looks like.'”
Downie, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after suffering a seizure last December, continues to inspire Canadians from coast-to-coast as The Hip forge on with their Man Machine Poem Tour which begins a three-set concert stop in Toronto this week.

“You need to be highly motivated, maintain your fitness level. He’s done all of those things. So I’m not surprised to see he can do this because he was so motivated to do this,” Perry, head of neurology at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, said about Downie’s fatigue level on tour.

“The level of strength and courage, the energy that he needs to do this is well beyond what most people can do.”

Perry said The Tragically Hip singer is not receiving active treatment while on tour, however doctors are monitoring his health closely.

“He’s stopped his up front treatments and it was perfectly timed, fortuitously timed for the tour,” he said.
Downie, 52, hit the road following surgery and treatment for glioblastoma, a rare cancer Perry says is diagnosed between four and seven out of every 100,000 Canadians.

“Everyone’s tumour is so different just like people are different. So there are people that might succumb within six months of their diagnosis,” explained Perry.

“Just the other day I saw a woman from my first day in practice, 20 years ago. Same tumour.”
Perry said fans who haven’t yet seen Downie and The Hip on tour the past two weeks will be in for quite a treat.

“For the fans, it’s going to be an incredible show. They’ll blow the roof off the ACC. It is such a dynamic, energy filled show. With the emotion from the news, the shows have been loud. They’ve been emotional. People have been crying. It’s just a joy to be there.”

The final show is scheduled for Aug. 20 in the group’s hometown of Kingston, Ont.
