The Tragically Hip Recruit All-Star Producers Pierre and François Lamoureux for 'That Night In Toronto' DVD
*Live DVD included in 'Hipeponymous' box set out Nov. 1 on Universal Music/Fontana*
When The Tragically Hip needed a team to produce their first-ever concert DVD, 'That Night In Toronto', they had only one choice- Pierre and François Lamoureux. The two brothers are widely recognized as pioneers in the field of live concert DVDs, with a star-studded resume reflecting their skillful work- Harry Connick Jr., The Who, and Alanis Morissette have all recently employed them to produce concert DVDs.
The Lamoureux brothers were equally enthusiastic to work with the The Hip. In the liner notes to 'That Night In Toronto,' the brothers write "going to see The Hip live is a guaranteed blast - a sure bet. Yes, they have sold millions of albums, but they are a premier live act. That is what this DVD is about." Director Pierre stayed on the road with the band for the latter half of their fall 2004 tour in order to prepare for the shoot in Toronto. The resulting film is unique among the Lamoureux brothers' projects in that nothing has been edited out- what you see is the entire concert from start to finish, captured by ten cameras with director Pierre's characteristic cinematic approach.
'That Night In Toronto' is available as a part of "Hipeponymous," the new Tragically Hip box set due out Nov. 1 on Universal Music/Fontana, and will also be sold on its own. HDNet will present the film's broadcast premiere Sunday, October 16th on at 9pm. Additional information about the broadcast is available at http://hd.net/op_concertseries.html
