 Live Review: The Tragically Hip / The Rheostatics, Pacific Coliseum, November 8-10, 1996
It's a sad fact that, despite the depth and complexity of the Tragically Hip's tunes, the average Hip fan's interest in music still extended only to the headliners of this show.
Enveloping the Coliseum with a (surprisingly clear) cloak of sound, the Hip took us on a two-hour musical odyssey that ran the gamut of most of their recorded work.
The Hip's subtle and emotional performance of "Flamenco" (dedicated to one of the original band members) was the clincher, though.

 The Tragically Hip
The Tragically Hip certainly are hip, but hip to the values of a peace-loving Canadian society, which basically means that nobody at all will be able to name a single song they ever wrote once you cross the border into North Dakota.
Even the fans on the Hip newsgroup don't seem to like it, and considering what a hotbed of obsessive fanatical raving that wasteland known as Usenet is, particularly when it comes to music newsgroups, it is a mean, mean feat when negative opinion manages to be rallied in a manner like that.
I don't ever actually actively recommend the Tragically Hip to people like I do some of my other favorite bands, since the chances of their being shoved back into my face as "nothing special" are pretty high.

The less-sad-back-then Dan Aykroyd introduced them on SNL, and they substituted the opening lyrics of this song with: "she said I'm tragically hip..." This song is still often a set opener at The Hip's very solid live shows - frontman Gordon Downie really knows how to work a crowd.
From 2000's Music@Work, this song was kind of a departure for The Hip at the time.
