From The Ottawa Citizen

OTTAWA - Tragically Hip fans may think their next opportunity to see the band play live in Ottawa is at Bluesfest in July. Wrong.

Though fans can see the Hip play their annual Bluesfest date in July, the Citizen has learned that the Kingston band’s next public performance in the city will be next Saturday night, May 3, in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre. The Hip are among the recipients at the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards - the annual gala to honour some of the nation’s great artists - and sources say the legendary Canadian band will perform during the show.

This is uncommon. Most musical recipients at the awards do not perform. Typically, another musician will perform one of the recipient’s songs. For example, k. d. lang was a recipient in 2005 and did not perform, but one of her songs was performed by a rising young Canadian singer named Leslie Feist. One act that did perform was the Guess Who, honoured in 2002.

Recipients at this year’s gala include Eugene Levy, Anton Kuerti, Michel Pagliaro and others. Tickets for the gala are available through ticketmaster.ca, or at the NAC box office.

The Tragically Hip
Hipfans Grab Bag 4

A very special thanks to Jeff (rocketsan22) from the Hipbase, who mailed me a total of 5 vhs tapes, to transfer
to dvd. With the exception of the Fully Completely Promo, all other videos presented here were taken from his
tapes. The Fully Completely Promo was transferred from an original MCA Video vhs promo tape.

From Jeff’s tapes, 3 were compilation videos, 1 was a full concert, and the fifth had been a full concert at
one point, but had been taped over, leaving only the last 20 minutes available. I decided to include that
footage in this compilation, but if anyone has the full video for 2000-12-20 Buffalo, NY, I’m sure everybody
would love to see it shared

These videos are what have not been circulated on the hipTracker via the other grab-bag dvds, and present a great
look back to the early 90s when the band was quickly rising in popularity.

Enjoy, and keep sharing!

Cheers!
