In a truly amazing moment, everything powered back up and The Tragically Hip brought the party back to life, proving that neither rain, nor sleet, nor big-ass hail will keep a Hip fan down. The band kicked off their set with a powerful rendition of "Grace Too." I’ve seen this band 21 times over the years and this was the single coolest display I've ever watched them deliver. Gord Downie leaned into the mic with the wry introduction, "Well, this wasn’t literally a nautical disaster, but it did involve a lot of water, some terror and a little bit of rock 'n' roll. This song is called 'Nautical Disaster.'" Sadly, the set was considerably shorter than planned to make up for the weather delay, but it was more than enough to get everyone back into party mode.
I think that well sums up a lot of what had been said so far.
Cheers,
Pat
