“March 25 1995”

A Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown Podumentary

On March 25, 1995, The Tragically Hip took the stage on Saturday Night Live — hosted by John Goodman and backed by fellow Canadian Dan Aykroyd. It was a monumental moment in Canadian music history, beamed out to the world.

To mark its 30th anniversary, we’re proud to release our first-ever Podumentary (that’s a podcast/documentary hybrid — and yes, we’re proud of the portmanteau).

This audio time capsule features:

• Behind-the-scenes insight into how the SNL appearance happened

• Fan memories from basements, bars, and bedrooms across the country

• Commentary from Robbie Baker, Billy Ray, Gord Sinclair, and more

• A look at Grace, Too and Nautical Disaster — two bold setlist choices still debated to this day

• Goosebump-worthy nostalgia and rare trivia (like Gord flubbing the first line — and making it better)

Plus, details on our upcoming live event:

🎟 bit.ly/celebratehipALS — A Celebration of The Hip for ALS, July 19 at The Rec Room Toronto.
