00:00No dress rehearsal, this is our life.
00:03That's what you gotta do, you gotta make the most of it.
00:07Kingston, Ontario, Canada, my friends that tragically...
00:12If any of us were in another band, I don't think we'd be able to do it
00:16because we wouldn't be in another band with our friends.
00:18Crowds would get so loud that you couldn't hear anything happening on stage.
00:23They put on a monster show.
00:24They were loud and tight and forceful, and Gord was mesmerizing.
00:30It made it cool to be Canadian.
00:32I feel silly being sort of emotional about it.
00:34The songs that we wrote matter a lot to people.
00:37It came at its cost.
00:4330 years, relationships can get strained.
00:46We probably should have had some therapy.
00:48I think at that point we probably needed it.
00:49We knew there were problems.
00:51There was anger and frustration and resentment.
00:54And then Gord got his diagnosis.
00:57First we'd climbed the tree...
00:59It was brain cancer and it was incurable.
01:02The worst of the worst.
01:04Memories, which used to be my forte.
01:06And now I can't remember people's names and can't remember lyrics.
01:09What he's planning to do next is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
01:14We got together and started to rehearse.
01:16To write an end to our own story.
01:28People came out and they showed their appreciation, gave Gord their love, and it helped them.
01:36I swear as we progressed, he got better, and it was unbelievable.
01:41And by the end of the tour, he felt like old Gord.
01:45Tonight we smoke the love...
01:52Multiple generations of Canadians decided that the Tragically Hip were our band.
01:59They will define, for generations to come, the music that exemplifies this country.
