When it was announced in May of 2016 that lead singer Gord Downie had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, the band decided that they would do one final run of fifteen dates across Canada. It was the final show of the Tragically Hip's Man Machine Poem Tour recorded on August 20th, 2016 at the K-Rock Centre in their home town of Kingston, Ontario. Containing all 30 songs from the night's set-list, the recording captures an unparalleled, nation-linking occasion.
