so I didn't record the concert, but when I took at look at my social media accounts they were littered with comments on the final performance of the Man, Machine, Poem tour, and the final performance of Gord Downie, a Canadian icon. Many of my friends admitted they were shedding tears, they were so moved by this band that had been part of their lives for decades, with songs that represent various stages of their lives. And now they were watching the lead singer pour his heart out on the stage one last time before fucking brain cancer ravages this great man. Such an awful disease. But Downie has done all he can to show Courage (the title of a Tragically Hip hit, by the way) in the face of great adversity.
