Great Tragically Hip Story From Their Website (thehip.com)

In March 1988, The Tragically Hip was a band you had to see. The Kingston quintet's reputation had preceded it to Winnipeg, first stop on its inaugural cross-Canada tour. Having spent the previous two years barnstorming the pubs, clubs and beer halls of Ontario, the group had released an eight-song, eponymous mini-album. Smalltown Bringdown and Last American Exit were being played at local radio and a feature on The New Music had prepped Prairie audiences for a young band that played no-frills rock 'n' roll. Rob Baker, Gordon Downie, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois and Gord Sinclair looked like a gang -- a T-shirts and jeans group in an age of teased hair and spandex. Their sound was an improbable, riffing roar that left mouths agape. Downie's lithe, sweat-soaked performances transfixed audiences.

When The Hip were booked into Winnipeg's Diamond Club, a nightspot which usually showcased Top 40 bands, I called the local agent to ask if he knew what he'd done. He said the Diamond's owners, an ambitious family of hoteliers, didn't want anyone else to `have' The Hip, the biggest buzz band from out East.

On Monday, March 14, 1988, John Cougar Mellencamp's Lonesome Jubilee tour played the Winnipeg Arena. The show had sold-out the old hockey rink in record time. Just about every rock fan in Winnipeg was at the concert that night, meaning those interested in the Hip didn't get across town to the Diamond until 11:30 p.m. By the time they arrived, The Hip's show was already over.
"Over? We were fired!"

Seventeen years later, Gordon Downie still rankles at the thought. The Diamond Club's manager had been horrified by the band's first set, its bum's eye for clothes and by the singer, who had done one song lying on his back.

The Tragically Hip - Live 10 on ItunesA day later, the band was homeless, as it had lost its hotel rooms with the firing. The Hip faced a week in Winnipeg without a gig. I hadn't been at the show the night before but I'd heard what had happened and spoke to Rob Baker on the phone. The band was low, he said, consulting with the musicians' union and considering its options. Within hours, free hotel rooms had been procured at the Osborne Village Motor Inn and gas-money gigs were booked at Corner Boys, a rec-room/lounge co-owned by boxer Donnie Lalonde, the WBF light heavyweight champ.

That Friday, my nightspots column in The Winnipeg Sun told The Hip's unlucky story, with the provocative headline "Tragically gypped!" Less than a month later, as the band worked its way back East, it played a weekend at The Junkyard as a thank you to the hotel owners who had provided rooms in March.

When I arrived at the club, there was a lineup out the door. The room was heaving. The rest is a familiar tale.

* * *

From his Toronto home in the autumn of 2005, Downie recalls the days of discovery and wonder that were the late '80s for The Tragically Hip. "We didn't have a lot of guile, and some say we still don't," he says. "Our needs were few. That was our first tour across the country. Like any rock band going across the country, everything was brand new and everything was possible. Every whiff of interest or approval distilled itself into confidence, and anything that wasn't confidence was just well-disguised insecurity. We also had a very self-deprecating sense of humour, collectively, so we turned all those kinds of sad-sack stories into tales of triumph," he says.

"I don't think you can do that if you have an ounce of ambition or aspiration beyond just having fun. You're just blown away by the fact you're actually doing this. You're putting another load of gas in the tank to take you further away from home on a mission that is totally undefined and potentially endless, perhaps resulting in death or disfigurement -- emotionally speaking, spiritually speaking and philosophically speaking," he says.

"Heading onto the stage then, we were grateful for every friend we had."
