While I would be delighted at the prospect of seeing more Hip shows, I'm already looking back on August with nostalgia as the final shows wherein I said goodbye to The Tragically Hip. Saw 2/3 Toronto shows and the Kingston show, and made my peace with it all ending. Those shows were SPECTACULAR, and honestly far better than any Hip shows I've seen in at least 8 years. And that Kingston show is a fucking gem, even with its occasional flubs. The setlist, the rawness, the emotion, and Gord speaking more than any other show that tour... it was so so so good and such a great finale. While it would be amazing for others to see the Hip live some more in Buffalo or wherever, I feel like the Kingston telecast/webcast/radiocast allowed everyone to come together to say goodbye and hear/see them play one last time in one way or another. It won't be topped, and it was a perfect end.

Seriously, I believe Gord should just be spending time with himself and with family/friends.
