Anyone else notice Gord Sinclair sneak the intro riff from Emergency at the end of Nautical? That would have blown my mind if they'd actually played it!

All those folks in Toronto watching Netflix are screwing with our stream bandwidth. ;-)

Just got home from Toronto #2....another stellar show. Seeing the last 3 shows, It seems Gord has more energy with each show....I recall leaving London thinking I just hope he can make it through the Ontario shows....tonight, he seemed more his regular self.

A treat to hear the IVL tunes!

Looking forward to Sunday....

You become a music fan on the off-chance you'll one day get to experience a night like this.

I say this unreservedly and unabashedly, 30 songs into my Tragically Hip concert career.

Man, what a show. Amazing setlist and such great energy from Gord... Sounded so great.

Too early out West to catch the feed live but love that we can sit down and watch once we get the kids to bed. Thanks again for the amazing feed! What a treat to get to see this tour unfold on our screens across the country.

I swore i wasn't going to but I cried tonight..three times...during Throwing Off Glass, Scared and Nautical Disaster... and Grace, Too was the best version I've heard in my 40+ shows. I'd put my top 4 Hip shows as
1. Concert Hall 1991
2. Martha's Vinyard Hot Tin Roof - July 1998 Phantom Power Tour
3. Toronto#1 Aug 10 2016
4. Toronto#2 Aug 12 2016
I have seriously never heard a crowd sing along louder to a band than during some of the songs tonight. Insanely awesome

That was by far the best of the three shows I've seen on this tour. I finally didn't cry! And I think its because they were all so strong. Gord was way more energetic tonight than at the others.

I cannot believe that I've now seen 74 shows, and I'm still getting songs I've never heard live before: Throwing off Glass and Membership. God I love membership. I don't believe it.

In Sarnia didn't translate all that well for me, and I was a tad disappointed as that's one of my favourites on MMP. But I agree with the others, Machine is fantastic live. It still drives me nuts, all the people taking their breaks during the MMP set.

They got me again with the ABAC intro! I thought for a minute it was the New Maybe.

These shows are the loudest I've ever heard a crowd. It is so uplifting. I think I'm over the sadness and am on to celebrating the Hip! Can't wait for Toronto #3!

What an event...had an amazing time with my 18-year old son, his first time seeing the band live...massive memories made for us. Unforgettable, in fact. Set list was all I hoped for and more. The night left us depleted but in the best, most satisfying of blissful exhaustion. National Post has a feature insert on the band and their influence...at the Hilton so will grab extra copies for fan friends...feel so lucky and grateful to have scored on Ticketmaster earlier this week!!!

Easily the loudest show I've been to, crowd screamed every line. Gord was iridescent.

Nearly a perfect show for me. First time seeing them this tour so I was easily teary eyed. Was ecstatic to hear the drum intro to Dire Wolf after the intermission and was in a dreamlike trance throughout the entire song. One of my faves and I wasn't entirely expecting to ever hear it live. Seeing this band and Gord's energy is so inspiring. Can't wait for Sunday now!
