regarding the tragically hip:
hopefully they do more dates, come this way, and we can get a show.
definitely won't be coming to the US or any other country. it's looking like the current tour will be it. the final show of the tour in their hometown is being billed as their last ever.
if they were to add dates, they would be in canada (the atlantic provinces didn't get any shows...). there has been some concern in the media about gord's health and his ability/stamina to complete the tour.
that final concert on August 20 will be live broadcast : "The Kingston show will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast and streamed ? commercial free ? on CBC Television, CBC Radio One, CBC Radio 2, cbcmusic.ca and CBC's YouTube channels." i expect that viewership in canada will be just a hair below the hockey gold-medal game in vancouver.
