That was unbelievable. I never would have predicted those song choices, and I couldn't be happier! That was so awesome! My brother and I were freaking out!

[bug_superstar79]

WOW!!! Amazing energy, I was moving to that music. They dont play that good on TV ever, that was amazing!!

I knew I had heard those lines before. The Weakerthans are here in Kingston tonight -- I wonder if they watched. I think I'll have to pass along the news.

That was incredible. They are and will always be my favourite band. That combined with KD Lang made the evening.

Cheers

The tribute was well done--all walks of Canadian life sang praise for the Hip. It really shows people the infleunce the Hip have on everyone in the country. Very pround to be a hip fan

[kgray]

I taped the performance, and it is now up on the tracker.

I thought the PM's comments were classic, especially about bobbys hair

[skippy the wonder dog]

They were definitely in good form. And that (hopefully) DVD footage was amazing.

Billy Talent looked like amateurs trying to follow them.

Can you imagine what the people thought when Gord said "you wouldn't last 5 seconds without me".... he then walked away and crossed his arms......just the whole bit about the Mic at a non-hip show... was cool

and the ....of my father..."Mr. Paul Langlois" bit in Fully...

Nice Toque, good groove - Don Cherry should've inducted them though!

I actually thought the Billy Talent performance was pretty sweet. High energy those young kids have, with their bippin and the boppin...

[kleh]

everytime gordie does the "said im tragically hip'' intro i think of the snl performance and the funny look he does when there's no reaction from the crowd

such a great live band, cant wait to see em live again, congratulations guys

[Rye]

That was fantastic. I guess the clips of them playing Meridian were from the Toronto show that will be released for a DVD eventually?

[joanie]

Don Cherry should've inducted them though!

Harmer was a great choice with her Kingston connection, her love of the band, and her own beautiful musical talent.

Don would've said "dese guys rock better dan Europeans or does wimpy French guys" and, frankly, that's neither my Canada nor my Hip.

[Mr. Lahey]

The band was spectacular tonight! Gord was so into it that I couldn't keep the smile off my face!

I can't wait for that dvd now, from the mini-preview it looks great!

I can't wait to see these guys live again, they are so freaking amazing live!!

[jontaylor]

It's been a while since i've seen gord go nuts like that. He was fucked, and it was spectacular. Nice to see the respect from alex and geddy too.
