An amazing 1995 performance from Canada's house band. I remember it like it was yesterday. Best Canadian band by far!!!!

Flawless performance and a great transfer from VHS. I have to say though, whoever does sound at SNL needs to go back to school. The mix is waaaaay to heavy on Robbie's guitar, you can barely hear Paul. Not that Robbie's not a fantastic guitar player, it just would be nice to hear Paul as well.

ive watched this at least 500 times ... they were just unbeleiveable and if americans cant see that then canadians r better.

@ccake11 This is about music, let's not create an international incedent.

– pacmansnide @ Nov 11, 2011

well, not sure it is just about music actually. closed ears do happen and matter. I've followed the Hip since 1986 when I first heard them at the Horseshoe in Toronto. Every record was a new gem with remarkable expositions. But the Hip shined live. I saw them every chance I could. When I witnessed a 20 minute version of 'New Orleans' with 20,000 mesmerized fans I knew we weren't just waving the Canuck banner. This version of Disaster is remarkable and defines the Hip at their best.

Hey Lorne!

YOU KNOW. As a snooty student of jazz some years ago, I used to denounce the Hip. WELL FUCK THAT. They're the best. I'm sorry for doubting you. <3

– SolubleSound @ Nov 25, 2011

This is from a VHS tape? The quality is excellent, it's hard to believe that you transferred this from VHS. But, I'm glad you did.

– neeonzen @ Dec 27, 2011

I've grown up with these guys it seems and they continue to defy age, keep on doing what you do best boys! Canada loves you!

"Those fingernails scratching on my hull" lyric must be one of the most succint expressions of what PTS must be like to those afflicted.

There's always one asshole.

– sweetswing1 @ Jan 11, 2012

@sweetswing1 LOL I know right! Probably the pastor down at Kingston Lutheran Church going through all the videos of these "smalltown bringdowns" ;O) How the FUCK do you dislike this performance?!?

– shawnsemchuk @ Jan 13, 2012

For Buffalo and maybe Detroit and other border cities, the response was probably "The Hip on SNL?! YEAH" but for the rest of America, I can only imagine it was something like "Who the fuck..."

– mechaphil @ Jan 13, 2012

effortless, smooth and simple. Love good old Gordie, but seeing him in his prime, so smooth and entertaining. He how tries too hard, always thinking that he is the hip. Looking at this as him just part of the band...is pretty cool.

– bowdsbowds @ Jan 24, 2012

This is just absolutely incredible!

– ToneArnold @ Jan 29, 2012

This song gives me chills every time I hear it
