The Tragically Hip 10 year anniversary Tribute - with live stream
Updated: 2 hours ago
We're no stranger to Tribute events, and we are the only venue on St Clair west to host them! We've gained lots of mixed media exposure because of it! Not to mention lots of new faces to the area.
We especially aspire to carry on the legacy of artists who've passed on, like Prince, and the upcoming George Michael and Michael Jackson tributes. We ignite the love for their music through rekindling fans and bringing them together with themed cocktails and surround visuals and sound.
The setlist was superb as we live streamed their last concert Long Time Running doc.
The CBC has said that it will actually start right at 7 pm, and then it rolls right into the concert. It's an 18-minute intro, to make it a full 2-hour time slot. https://broadcastdialogue.com/cbc-marking-10-years-since-the-tragically-hips-final-concert/
We were joined by the "No Dress Rehersal" producers who formally introduced themselves and reserved a special table with us. The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal is a Canadian television documentary series, which premiered on Prime Video in 2024.[1] Directed by filmmaker Mike Downie, the four-episode series profiles the history of the influential Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, including interviews with the band members and other cultural figures including musician Geddy Lee, comedians The Trailer Park Boys, actor Will Arnett and broadcaster George Stroumboulopoulos.[2]
Production
Downie described the series as "the most fulfilling experience and rewarding experience I’ve ever had in making a film", but also the hardest thing he had ever done since working on the project sparked a lot of memories of the death of lead singer Gord Downie, his brother.[3]
According to Downie, the goal of the series was not just to document the band's history, but also to explore the question of how the band's music came to resonate so strongly with Canadians.[3]
Downie conceived the project as "a film chopped into four pieces" rather than a television series, so that its presentation would be consistent throughout.[4]
As always, we've curated a collection of themed drinks to keep the night solid, as people danced and sang along to their favourite songs over all these years.
