What an amazing concert. Truly a night to never forget. The tragically hip played an excellent combination of their new songs and their old favourites, which had the crowd cheering all night long.

Gord and the boys were in fine form. Playlist included all of my favorites. Nothing compares to seeing one of our Canadian treasures live...the crowd sings along to every song and the love from the crowd is electric! Nice surprise to see a joint performance with Sarah Harmon! Unforgettable experience!!!

This was one of the worst days in American history, so I wasn't really in the best frame of mind to see a show. But I went anyway (since I had already bought tickets) hoping for something more honest and meaningful than what The Hip typically do live these days. It would have been a welcome release. I didn't get it. Gord did make some mention of the events of the day, but it had no affect on his performance. It was a little hard to watch given the gravity of the tragedy that occurred in CT earlier that day.

I've been listening to The Tragically Hip since the mid 90s, and been to over 20 shows over the years. Gordie has always been an interesting and energetic entertainer, but in some ways it has progressed passed any meaningful representation of the music I love so much, especially when he sings the hook of some songs totally different than how they were recorded (like on "Ahead By A Century"). Some of the softer material loses its subtlety and nuance with overly aggressive vocals. I listen to the live album "Live Between Us" and remember the days when the music and Gordie's voice, stage antics, and ramblings really meshed together beautifully and made for transcendent experiences. Somewhere along the way this got lost. I still go see them live every time they come around, and they still put on a great show, but the showmanship of Gord Downie overpowers a lot of the heart and soul of the band.

Gotta give it up to The Hip. They Canadian rockers played nearly 2 hours of tunes that had the house dancing around and singing along. The fans certainly love them. The HOB's floor was packed and the side/bar areas were filled up, as well. Good show. They need to come back to Vegas more often. It was my third time seeing them here.

by SFRockFan59

The music was all good and the guitar work was great although Gordon's vocals were flat out terrible. His voice sounded over worked and when he couldn't sing, he just screamed. One of the worst vocal performances from a professional singer I have ever heard. When Gordon wasn't trying to sing, he was talking so that it was difficult to focus on the excellent guitar work. Gordon's stage antics were childish.

Great show as the Hip played lots of "Plan A" stuff and sprinkled it with classic Hip and some stuff I hadn't seen yet.
Short set was disappointing, about 2 hours.
Venue sucked. 2 bars outside. Wait in line for an hour for a beer only to be told at the door you can't bring it in. Start chugging.

Being from Canada originally, one thing that is in my blood is the Tragically Hip ! To see them here in Detroit where I now live was incredible!! The Fillmore is an amazing venue and the crowd was a solid mix of older and new fans from both sides of the border! They rocked out to a full onslaught of 25 songs !! almost unheard of these days! Long live the HIP !!!

A great live show in one of my favorite venues. I would've preferred that they played more of their hits & less of the new songs, which don't thrill me.

I love this band! However, while the band was tight and played well, I got the sense that Gordon D. was just going through the motions. I also wonder why he screams the lyrics? Lastly, they played for one hour with a 15-20 minute encore. If I had purchased the expensive tickets, I would have been pissed. Thankfully, I we had the cheap seats. If Gordon's not feeling it anymore, he should give it up. I do enjoy the new songs.

The band was very good - the venue sucked.
This band routinely plays 2 1/2 hrs, yet this place only allows 1 1/2 because they want people to get into the casino.
$65 for 1 1/2 hrs for this band is too much.
Also, it is in a ballroom - all seats on the floor and not comfy.
Had to stand the whole time to see.

I made plans with my wife and friends to see the Hip and stay at a local hotel for the night and do a little gambling at the casino. When I saw there was no opening act, I assumed that the Hip would play longer. I guess that is why you should not assume. The night seemed to end early and the flow of the show was never a constant. I know new songs were part of the set list, but it seemed many of these songs were slower tempo and we never got into the show.
I have seen the Hip a half a dozen times, but would think twice about seeing them again. This was the first time I was disappointed in the band's performance.
