Just watched the CBC feed. Although they did a great job, it was a totally different experience watching it than being there.

1. The crowd was extremely loud, which was not picked up. The few minutes before they hit the stage was pure electric, it can't be put into words.
2. It was much more of a celebration than a sad emotional show.

Also i felt 99% of the people there were big Hip fan, not just the connected or somebody that got lucky with the ticket lottery. Everybody was sharing stories of road trips and encounters with the band. Everybody knew every word of every song.

It's rare when you wake up in the morning and realize that today is going to be one of the few days you'll never forget the rest of your life. Saturday was one of those days.

After 50+ Hip shows across 6 countries, there is no way I'd miss it.

Are you saying the CBC broadcast was more emotional or the K-Rock? I did not feel like shedding a tear in the building, but am feeling the feels while viewing the replay.

I may also be broken, so there's that.
