A couple of days late - sorry - but here's my review from Night One: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.orilliapacket.com/2015/09/17/the-tragically-hip-performs-first-of-three-gigs-at-casino-rama">http://www.orilliapacket.com/2015/09/17 ... asino-rama</a><!-- m -->
It really was. I've seen a decent amount of back-to-back shows at the same venue over the years. This is probably the first time that the first night didn't have the weakest setlist (arguably, that was Night Three). Night One ended so strong (even with Fireworks) and Night Two was without Poets, New O, Blow, ABAC, etc. Based on everything I've heard about the other two shows from folks who were there, all three gigs were remarkable. If you're going to see the band sometime in the next few weeks, you're in for a treat.
