The iconic Canadian band embarked on a 15-city, cross-country tour in July after frontman Gord Downie announced in the spring that he has terminal brain cancer. It ended where it all began for the band, in Downie&#8217;s hometown.<\/p>\n<p>In Huntsville, River Mill Park was packed to capacity with people watching the show on a big screen set up in the park&#8217;s bandshell. They even watched from boats, stood on Dara Howell Way, and sat to the side of the bandshell to watch the reverse image on the back of the projection screen.<\/p>\n<p>We caught up with a few of those who came out to watch:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHe2nh715vA?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Whether they came because they&#8217;ve been Hip fans from the start or just to appreciate the talents and success of a truly Canadian band, this will be a night to remember for those who watched.
