The Tragically Hip

In 1995, when The Tragically Hip performed 'New Orleans is Sinking' at the PinkPop Festival, they were basking in the afterglow of their critically acclaimed album, 'Day for Night,' which had dropped just a year earlier. This album showcased their signature sound, blending rock with thoughtful lyrics, and included hits that resonated deeply with fans. The performance captured an electrifying moment in their career, as they were establishing themselves as a major force in Canadian rock. Interestingly, during this festival, they featured a raw rendition of 'Ahead By A Century,' hinting at their constant evolution and willingness to experiment. The Hip had a unique ability to connect emotionally with their audiences, making this live recording a treasure in their catalog.
