Awesome thanks for sharing!
How in the love of hell did I never see this.....way cool. Love Downie's tale of Little Bones.
So So long ago. Reminds of the first glimpses of the HIp we got here in Detroit around that time. I seen the band at Chene Park in the summer of 93. It was my first Hip show and I was impressed but not blown away.....yet.
I'm betting there is a lot of footage in the Hip archives of the band in them days...on the road and such.

What I wouldn't give just to get a peek inside their vault. I imagine there are lots of shows that were filmed professionally, but never saw the light of day. Not to mention the fact that they've been recording every live show since around '94-ish.

Funny you mention the mini-golf scene. I was laughing to myself watching how serious they were about keeping score....and then there is GD's commentary about the difficulties of the various courses.....lol...the things bands do to keep themselves occupied on the road! Love it.

A documentary about Canadian rock group the Tragically Hip is in the works.
Banger Films’ producers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn are behind the film, which is among 29 English and French doc projects to receive financing through the Rogers Documentary and Cable Network Fund.
Due for release next fall, the film’s working title is Man Machine Poem – The Tragically Hip Documentary. McFadyen confirmed Bell Media-owned nets HBO Canada and CTV are on board, and said more details would be forthcoming.
The Tragically Hip’s 15-date Man Machine Poem tour became major news in Canada this summer after the group revealed in the spring that front man Gord Downie had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. The band’s final show on the tour was broadcast live on CBC and attracted 11.7 million viewers – roughly a third of the country’s population.
Toronto-based Banger’s credits include Hip-Hop Evolution, Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage and Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey.
Other filmmakers to receive financing in the Rogers fund’s latest round include David Paperny, Ric Bienstock, Jamie Kastner and Peter Raymont.
In total, the fund awarded CAD$1.75 million (US$1.32 million). The application deadline was August 17.
Blue Ant Media and producers Allen Code and Raymont received backing for the series Arctic Secrets; while Paperny is among the producers behind CBC’s Mohamed Fahmy: Freedom is Half the Truth, about the Al-Jazeera journalist who was jailed in Egypt in 2013.
Kastner, whose doc The Skyjacker’s Tale recently debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, received a grant for Stage, which is backed by Documentary Channel, Canal D and ZDF/ARTE. Bienstock’s grant is for the Documentary Channel-backed The Last Nazi Trials.
