"That Night In Toronto" live stream - This Friday 10/16 on Twitch at 7:00pm ET

Hey folks! I am, yet again, continuing my yearly tradition of celebrating Gord Downie and The Hip by live streaming "That Night In Toronto" - The Hip's live DVD from 2005 - this upcoming Friday, October 16th over on my Twitch channel (http://www.twitch.tv/witheryouth).

My plan is to go live on Twitch sometime around 7:00pm ET with a pre-roll of various related Tragically Hip clips and content, then starting the DVD at around 7:30pm ET.

For background, I've been doing this live stream yearly on or around October 17th since about 2021 mostly as a way to host a small celebration myself, but have been extending it to folks online to share the experience. The Hip have been uploading some songs from this DVD onto their YouTube channel, but the full thing isn't up yet AFAIK so this is a fun way to view it!

You don't need a Twitch account to watch, but you do need an account if you want to comment. The entire runtime is just over 2 hours at 24 songs in the setlist. Sometimes Twitch plays ads but I don't have a way of controlling that unfortunately. I promise this isn't an ad for my Twitch, I quite literally stream this DVD once a year over on that channel lol! But if you're interested in watching and want the push notification reminder that the stream is starting, you can follow the channel and feel free to unfollow right after.

Some other folks from the Tragically Hip Discord server will probably be tuned in as well! You can always join us over here: http://www.discord.gg/cCawefY

Hell yeah I'm glad you're into it! As I said I've been doing this for about 5 years - I live in the States and don't really have anyone who would want to celebrate IRL (plus, if I'm being honest, I'm basically crying the entire time lol) so I'm more than happy to share it online!

I just finished watching that concert last night. As a matter of fact this has to be their best concert. That night in Toronto blows my mind every time I see it.

Anybody who does magic mushrooms out there, you should probably do some of that and watch this concert to be fully blown away by this. Back to the tragically hip themselves. Gord was so amazing. Watching this man perform makes you realize how music truly can take your soul.

To anyone who has not seen this concert, buckle up because it is a journey and it is a view of Tragically Hip when they were at their very, very best.
