Tragically Hip 100th Meridian in Grand Cayman

[octipied1967]

The Hip are our GREATEST natural resourse! And our greatest ambassadors........

They make me proud and grateful to be Canadian

It sucked though, they couldn't play longer due to the hotel and it's guest.

such a brilliant use of patriotism as a marketing device. a bit surprising from the likes of Gordon Downie, poet. Why else would the Hip schedule a concert in the Cayman Islands if not to capitalize on all the Canadian resorters who think it's a "coincidence" that the Hip happens to be in the Cayman Islands at the same time as their package resort deal.

Oh well, I would've gone too and the show does look pretty f'n great!

ummm... you're a little presumptuous aren't you??

it wasn't a marketing ploy to get tourists down here - as if Gord would do that - it was a gift to the RESIDENTS. nearly 1/8 of the residents of GC are Canadian. (also, there is only one all-inclusive resort here FYI) The Hip were brought down by a young local entrepreneur who thinks they're awesome and found a way for them to jaunt down while touring the southern states -- and it was INCREDIBLE!!

@7MileVice

Was the show near the all inclusivfe resort?

If I only knew, it would have been an awesome vacation!

Man Gord is always entertaining at concerts.  Great job Hip!

[1hipfan]

always amazing, best band ever!!1

Did Gord do that dance at every show on the tour? I know he danced for about 10 minutes when he played in Ottawa in Feb... Was kinda cool, but would have been better if instead of that, he did Killerwhaletank..
