Two longtime bandmates of The Tragically Hip, Paul Langois and Rob Baker, are reflecting on Gord Downie and the group’s final performance as the 10th anniversary of that concert approaches. CBC plans to rebroadcast the band’s farewell show this Saturday to commemorate the milestone.
The piece centers on Langois and Baker’s memories of Downie, the lead vocalist, and the legacy of the band’s last on-stage moment in Kingston, Ontario, on August 20, 2016. The broadcast aims to bring renewed attention to the concert’s significance and the enduring impact of the band’s final appearance.
Details about the broadcast timing or additional commemorative programming are not provided in the source. The focus remains on the reflections of Langois and Baker and the decision to rebroadcast the final performance to honor the 10-year anniversary.
