Crack My Spine Like A Whip - The Tragically Hip

[bwho]

I always say my all-time fave rock and roll band list goes like this:

1) Foghat

2) The Guess Who

3) The Tragically Hip

But the Tragically Hip may very well be the best band in history. I wish I could hear them do this song live. I don't remember them doing this song in Seattle in 1999 at the Moore Theater or 2002 at Pier 62/63. Amazing, amazing band. Gordon's mannerisms and the band's rocking sound combine to provide unending talent. For me....me! All mine! Whoo-hoo-haa-haaaa!!

haha the intro is fucking amazing.

Paul "Skills" Langlois - playing guitar and singing back-up vocals, all with a cigarette in his mouth.

@starhespera I love how he learned guitar just to join the band. Soon as he knew 3 chords he jumped right into the gigs. He literally learned as he went, smoke in his mouth the whole way.......Paul has always been my favorite Hip member. He's easily the most bad ass member.....no contest.

[bwho]

What kind of a Mom did Gordy have?

[bwho]

Awesome song. I don't recall hearing this one in either of the two Seattle shows I saw the Hip at.

[thenameisbond]

classic!

Thank you for posting this!

Love the hair dos! Especially Sinclair.

[GWAILIN]

I'm not a huge Hip fan, but this is a good tune! Man, I miss the Misty Moon...lots of memories from that place. And the Crazy Horse in Dartmouth...two great rock bars back in the day.

[apologiesaredue]

taped at the legendary misty moon in Halifax NS by muchmusic shortly after the release of up to here. My friend & I are blocking the camera around 1:04 (sorry! we both had a lot of hair, the cameraman behind us asked us to ignore him, I assumed he was shooting over our heads but I guess that was impossible) ... by the end of the show Gord Downie's shirt & hair were completely soaked, I had never seen anyone sweat so much! amazing show & great memory, thanks for uploading! anyone have the rest?

[SkylarKitchen]

I sat front and center at a tragically hip concert. I got sweat alllll over me

[bobbyjumper]

[genericsoul]

[starrbynite]

oh wow, i had a bootleg tape of this...amazing!

[audioslave68]

Clearly one of their greatest. A shame The Hip have never released it on any album.

[cn854]

Neat to see Paul playing a Fender and not a Gibson Les Paul

[sportsportsport]

paul langois.. haha the cigarette in his mouth is so early hip !

[bigwatson24]

goodtwoknw........I AGREE

[goodtwoknw]

[bigwatson24]

HIP IS SOO SICK

[goodtwoknw]

gord plays some good bass in this song

[TampaRed]

My favourite unreleased Hip tune. Awesome.

[xneverxmindx]

man, Paul looked so hardcore back then with his leather jacket, long hair and cigarette! XD

this song really is awesome though.

[motors69]

Dang this is old stuff... awsome its an Unplugged Gem :D

[TampaRed]

Unplugged?

[ryanchile]

"She didn't know!...."

(for those of you who know the set)

[vanderhoof]

Gord sinclair looks funny w/ long hair

[Goldash007]

I'm still confused why they didn't release this song on any of their albums, it's excellent.

Langlois looks like former ECW wrestler Raven in this video...Rob looks almost exactly the same though.

[tripperfish]

wow. awesome
