WATCH: Gord Downie Talks Live Gigs for the Hip in 1988

The Tragically Hip‘s documentary , A Long Time Running, premiered this past week at the Toronto International Film Festival.

As of now, here’s no official score on Rotten Tomatoes, but every review left by a critic claims it as certified fresh.

But 29 years ago in 1988, the band’s only priority was slinging out gigs for happy Canadians.

Gord Downie explains the camaraderie of the band and their goal while on stage.

The doc will air November 12th on CTV and will be uploaded to CraveTV the next day.
