The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal

@briz: I hear you. To me it shows that deep deep deep down, there is a person inside JT, or at least there was at some point. And Gord believed in him, believed that he would start the long road of reparations to First Nations people. He has to live every day knowing he is letting down Gord Downie.

He's only in it a bit, don't punish yourself. It's really good! Just take a swig of beer or something at those parts and ignore him.

I started crying 1 minute and 8 seconds in and had to take lots of breaks. Afterwards I watched the entire last concert and dug deeping into the stories behind the songs. I may not have had a productive weekend, but it was worth it.

Great documentary about a band more people should know about, and even if they aren't your cup of tea, a great story about friends and family and creativity.

From their early days in high school, to the farewell tour that concluded in their hometown of Kingston, this four-part series does a wonderful job telling the story of The Tragically Hip to fans and newbies alike.

The conglomeration of the American music industry has starved us of many international bands and their talent. I was glad to have access to MuchMusic to see the Hip. I encourage you to find the time to watch this documentary and be inspired.

What a beautiful homage to the quintessential Canadian rock band the Tragically Hip.

I loved how well the documentary captured Gord Downie and how much I learned about the rest of the band.

The Hip's journey is told in an intimate and engaging way that only made me love the band even more. The last episode had me balling, even more so than when I watched the last Hip show live.

The interviews with the band members, family, friends, associates, and many Canadian icons helps tell their story

This is a definite must watch for any Canadian and it made me realize how much I miss The Hip. What a beautiful tribute by Gord's brother.

Rest in peace to Gord Downie and to The Tragically Hip.

I loved this 4-part documentary. It was very moving and so great to hear the songs, see the performances and hear from the band, their family, and related musicians & talent.

I grew up in Toronto during this time but never saw the band in Canada as I moved away in the mid 1990s. I feel super fortunate to have seen them twice overseas in intimate venues during their peak and sang & sweated it out with everyone else. This was therefore a very emotional documentary capturing that experience. The band wrote some wonderful songs and the documentary did a great job highlighting Gord Downie's unique contribution as a performer, signer and wonderful lyricist.

Thank you to Amazon/MGM, to the band, and their families for making this film possible. Yours - a home sick Canadian.

We are all richer for having seen this. Thank you so much to The Tragically Hip for sharing this with us. You have brought so much joy to our lives and continue to do so, please keep sharing we appreciate every moment with you! This is the greatest music documentary I have ever seen, the behind the scenes of the rise of The Tragically Hip to the top of their game was amazing to watch. It brought back so many memories. If this film doesn't bring out emotions in you, you're already dead inside. I want to thank every member of the band and everyone involved with the making of this masterpiece!!!!
