Anyone notice the Toronto ACC Concert footage when introducing the band? That footage looked sweet, small preview of the DVD footage.

Excellent choice of songs. Gord was amazing. Maybe some new lyrics during Grace, Too?

Congrats guys!

Thank you Tragically Hip. Thank You! He pulled out the microphone stand rant. Gord was wired. Great job boys!!! If the fans still like Avril better forget them. Truly great!!! The Hip came and they conquered. kd Lang did alright too. Simple Plan opening the show was uncalled for though.

i noticed the dvd footage. looked VERY impressive. And how cool was that montage before they came on stage?!?!

Gord was really on, lots of Paul refrences tonight hahaha :lol:

Great Juno performance!

And I agree, i think there was a new song poking its head out during Grace Too.

That was freaking amazing. The boys were truly in A++ form. Good song selection, amazing energy and he fought the mic stand. Congrats boys and thanks for all the music you've given us and all the music to come.

I wonder if that's another possible "genesis" of new material to look forward to? If so, what a stage to present it on!

I noticed that too... let's hope the DVD comes out and soon, that footage looked pretty sweet!

The rambling at the end of Grace, Too were from The Weakerthans song "Aside".
