The Tragically Hip

In the live recording of 'Locked In The Trunk Of A Car' from 'A National Celebration,' which took place on August 20, 2016, The Tragically Hip were riding high on a wave of nostalgia and pride. This performance came shortly after the release of their final studio album, 'Man Machine Poem,' which dropped in June of the same year. It was a poignant moment as the band celebrated their roots in Kingston, Ontario, embracing the city's significance in their journey. Tragically, this concert marked one of their last as lead singer Gord Downie faced terminal cancer. Fans packed the Rogers K-Rock Centre, joined by the nation, emphasizing the band's deep connection with Canadian culture. Their heartfelt performances always brimmed with a sense of community, and this one was especially charged with emotion, reflecting on the band's legacy and their impact on music and fans across the country.
