You got it absolutely right. As a kid, warming the bench watching your team practice or play, opening the door for your teammates, is the absolute worst. It’s something many of us have either experienced or watched a friend experience. In numerous small ways, Gord summed up what it means to be a Canadian. It’s part of the reason why he and the rest of the Hip are such a treasure.

@@africabalderson8636, he surely did.

I cranked this one out my car windows, in my Detroit suburb, when I heard Gord was gone. It's my favorite Hip song.

your contents of your hockey bag is a lesson in responsibility and organization when you're a youngster for sure. For me, i would forget about putting them back in the bag after an outing with friends at the outdoor rink. When it came time for a team practice or game just absent-mindedly grabbing the bag and leaving was an issue.

Yep. Nail on the head @stevestojan. I've experienced the "forget-your-skates-dream" a few times in my younger days... always for the "big game". Wake up in a sweat for sure!

I didn’t know what to think about this .. and she kicked my ass hard thank you Leslie ♥️

Faith in Feist.. my new favorite recording

If anyone could have done it justice, it would be Feist.

She was amazing. Just so emotional and moving! Can’t stop watching this over and over. Absolutely beautiful. Can’t imagine what the boys were feeling at the time. Thank you!

She's Amazing 🤓😎

Think I've listened to this 50 times at least. And yes tears still fall

🤓 I'm with ya kid😎 🙏

That’s where she “found” the song. She is tentative at the start (as I would be. It’s Gord’s voice we know). Once she found here harmony space with PL - that’s when it stopped being a hip cover. It was its own thing. She’s remarkable.

Halaluhla from reverend Mr. Black

I'd love to see more of this with Feist. If they toured Canada and played intimate sets in theatres and concert halls, they would be sold out in days. I would love to just sit there and listen, hear them talk between songs, playing even the most hard rocking songs with grace and splendor. I believe it will happen one day.

Hip hip hip hip hip

The Hip and Rush are pure Candiana for me

Feist is Canadian too . bonus!

There will never be another Gord. He was our Canadian icon and we will always love and miss him.

Neil Young and Leonard Cohen.

American or Canadian...great rock is great rock!!

And those who get it get it, too.

Felt like Gord was present

Me too 😢 What a beauty of a song! It seems this Gord guy was really something Great. Only other Greatness could sing this.

Leslie did a great job! Good to see the guys together playing again.

@@themojoman5683 It was really good to see them playing again and Leslie was really sensitive and wonderful. Still made me cry like a child tho. Hopefully they will start playing together with Leslie, I think it would be really good for the boy's to get playing again. Sitting around can be good for awhile but can also be damaging too. ✌❤🇨🇦🎶🙏

Yep ,me too

Nice seeing the boys back together

Agreed. Gone way too soon.

I've been to only one and you're right

Same here

ME too. Three great concerts and a lifetime of memories. The World needs more HIP!

Eloquent, earnest, authentic and unequivocally expressed from a platform of personal experience within all dimensions referenced. Beautifully said.

Exactly what I was going to write.

awww

Damn right he is 😇

You mean he’s looking downie 😉

Did Gord have kids? I want to know why there are way too many boneheads as opposed to really good quality people?.

Looks like a Deluxe '72 Tele with humbuckers. Beautiful guitar - and so damn much history if it really was the same one from the Misty Moon!

@@Creaulx telecasters don’t really wear out… they are pretty indestructible.

@@j_freed your right, i have a 72 usa stratocaster and it's like a fine wine, it gets better with age.

I bought this guitar today because of this video. Best $1900 I've ever spent.

@@j_freed When the bombs finally hit, all that will be left are Telecasters and cockroaches.

Oh he is

and It was a charity show that had brought the guys in AIC back together that made them realize how much they enjoyed and loved playing again as a band. Thats how we got Black Gives Way to Blue. As not only a way to heal but to pay tribute to Layne. Jerry himself said "Cantrell stated, "We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend. We have played with some [singers] who can actually bring it and add their own thing to it without being a Layne clone. We're not interested in stepping on [Staley's] rich legacy. It's a tough thing to go through. Do you take the Led Zeppelin approach and never play again, because the guy was that important? That's the approach we've taken for a lot of years. Or, do you give it a shot, try something? We're willing to take a chance on it. It's completely a reunion because the three of us who're left are back together. But it's not about separating and forgetting - it's about remembering and moving on.

lol shut up dude

@@CoreyS77 why do you people need to exist lol

Agreed. So emotional for our Poet Laureate, we miss you Gord. Thank you for lending your talents, Leslie.

i wanna hear her do Three Pistols :^V

Not me. I don't want any Hip without Gord. It marks his absence which is PAINFUL and sad , too sad. Gord's death is too sad to deal with. I still can't listen to them. He was such a special man.

@@bartholomewbakelaar6266 you can't listen to them??? then it wouldn't matter to you, since you don't even listen to their music anymore anyway. not much of a fan is you don't listen to them anymore,.

@@zzz7zzz9 you aren't a fan or much of a human being if you can't understand what i'm talking about it: IT'S GRIEF & LOSS.

@@bartholomewbakelaar6266 grief and loss???? Was he family? Get real. Were you not a fan of the band, and their music? They are still here. Sounds like you idolized an individual.

Check out her albums, and also performances with Broken Social Scene. I’ve seen her live about 5 times going back 20 years, she’s an incredible vocalist.

Absolutely

So true - made me think of how Gord sometimes used to introduce this song saying "it's a good life if you don't weaken, and a good life if you do".

@@notaperson1419 only today have I found out he took the name of the song from a Canadian made comic book generally based on life in strathroy ontario

Poetic agreed, but not abstract. There is a deep meaning to these words. Gord’s childhood hockey playing nightmares are just the starting point.

@@africabalderson8636 - I inferred that anxiety from reading the lyrics, makes sense with the unexplained explained but I also like not knowing.

The Truth.

♥️

Gord's gone and this is no good. It's not the Hip at all. It's not their style. No way. I know we're all supposed to agree, but I don't.

I’m super bummed I can’t buy this!
