We're going to dim the lights - and take us all back 10 years...
Watch parties all across Canada will celebrate and watch once again that final show from August 2016.
The FINAL live show from Kingston, Ontario - on the BIG screens at Cat's Cradle. with BIG sound.
That night in Toronto,
With its checkerboard floors.
Riding on horseback,
And keeping order restored,
Til the men they couldn't hang,
Stepped to the mic and sang,
And their voices rang with that Aryan twang.
The final show on the tour was held on August 20, 2016 at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in the band's hometown of Kingston. The concert was simulcast in a special, The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration, airing commercial-free across the CBC's television and radio outlets, including CBC Television, CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2, as well as on Sirius XM satellite radio, and online via CBC Music and YouTube.
CBC broke away from its second-last night of primetime coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics to air the concert; Ron Maclean hosted a short introduction from Rio de Janeiro, where the Canadian Olympic athletes were themselves gathered for a viewing party at Canada House. At the end of the introduction, Maclean said: "We now go to this late breaking story on the CBC" referencing not only the concert itself but a lyric from the Tragically Hip song "Wheat Kings".
The concert was attended by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau upon request by the band. At least 11.7 million watched part of the concert across these platforms.
