I finally got the opportunity to listen to this. Overall i thought it was really well done. There are some absolutely fantastic songs in this compilation.
Standouts for me:
Now For Plan A/Stay
Lake Fever
Vapour Trails
Emperor Penguin
The Depression Suite
Escape Is At Hand For The Traveling Band
Honey Please
The Now for Plan A - from Hey Rosetta is outstanding - a must listen

I found it tough to skip ahead/backwards on this webpage but if you download the Strombo App to listen its much easier to move freely through the collection.
Have a listen and post your thoughts

Gord on stage last night at Massey Hall with Blue Rodeo and the Sadies, performing "Lost Together". Possibly the last time we'll ever see him on stage. Damn onions.

In other good news, CBC will re-broadcast the Hip's Kingston show on June 24th.

What better way to kick off summer than with a rebroadcast of the Tragically Hip's storied hometown show?
Tune in to CBC-TV on Saturday, June 24, at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. AT, 9:30 p.m. NT) for a commercial-free airing of The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration and relive the band's final stop of its 2016 Man Machine Poem tour.

He was down in Boston in April during the Sens/Bruins series. Saw him in a box with Bobby Orr a couple times. Was really happy to see him still living it up to the fullest. Like there was any doubt...
This will never leave my PVR. Until they release it on DVD.

While everyone should donate to any cause they see fit when they are able or see fit, at any time regardless of the circumstance, it seems a small oversight that CBC or The Tragically Hip has not produced a keepsake DVD/Blu-Ray of this epic event with all or a majority or revenue sold going to battling cancer, or cancer research.
I would purchase several copies for myself and others.

I think Rob Baker addressed that on twitter by saying it wasn't happening any time soon.
