The Tragically Hip: 10 years since that night in Kingston
Love for The Tragically Hip is still strong for these fans with memories in N.L.
N.S. venues mark 10 years since the Tragically Hip's final concert
The Hip have been busy in the decade since the concert, though Langlois said in the miniseries that the band needed time after Downie's death on Oct. 17, 2017, to generate any enthusiasm for anything.
Downie released the solo album Secret Path in 2016, and there have been four posthumous albums: Introduce Yerself, Away Is Mine, Lustre Parfait and (with the Sadies) Live At 6 O'Clock.
The surviving band members have worked on solo projects, and the band has released additional material from several albums. There's also been a jukebox musical written around their songs, a Juno Humanitarian Award and an induction next month into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Tragically Hip is very unlikely to return, with Baker saying he has "less than zero" interest in playing full shows with another singer.
"I didn't look at that tour as a career move or album promotion," Baker wrote in the epilogue to This Is Our Life. "I was there to support Gord. He needed me. He needed us, all of us, and it turns out millions across the nation, too."
Langlois said in the miniseries that immediately after the show, Downie said it felt like the last one.
"He wasn't saying it sadly, in a sad way, [but] that it was celebratory enough to be a last show."
Langlois told CBC News this week, "It turned out to be a fun night, and I did not see that coming."That’s our live page for this evening. Thanks for reading.
Band members bid farewell to fans at the end of Saturday's show in Kingston
With the song and concert over, the five friends from Kingston posed arm in arm on stage and walked off together.
At the time there was hope that it might not actually be the band’s last performance, but this was the end, with one exception: the surviving members played 'It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken' at the 2021 Junos, with Leslie Feist handling vocals.
The last song the Tragically Hip ever performed was also their biggest hit.
