Concert Footage of the Tragically Hip at the Egg in Albany New York Oct. 15th 2009. This was the first tour stop in America for the "We Are The Same " tour 2009.
Formed in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, the Tragically Hip came together with childhood friends Gordon Downie (vocals), Bobby Baker (guitar), Paul Langlois (guitar), Gord Sinclair (bass), and Johnny Fay (drums). The group took their name from a Michael Nesmith video entitled Elephant Parts and focused on making a name for themselves in the local scene during the mid-'80s. While performing Toronto , MCA Records president Bruce Dickinson was impressed by the Hip's infectious live presence and offered them a deal. College charts were instantly attracted and fellow Canadians were appreciative of the Tragically Hip's insatiable appeal.
