30 years ago today, we played SNL

March 25, 1995. The rest is history…

I wish Chris Farley was still here. To this day, i love how funny he was. Soo much energy.

Chris Farley looks mesmerized. Great band.

"You see were tragically hip"... I had goose bumps watching this live on the day... Amazing eight minutes, opened the world to the hip that night... I have seen them live over twenty times but this was special... Still one of my favorite tv moments of all time. "I am total pro, that's what I here for... "

What a great era of SNL…the music, the cast the writers. So many fallen greats. You are not forgotten! Thank you for the laughs and the tunes! 🇺🇸🇨🇦

For what it's worth, I'm Scottish and I've loved them for years. This gave me goosebumps!

A big thank you to all Americans who ever gave The Hip a chance. They meant/mean the world to us. Rest well Gordie. My 1st Hip concert (of 7 total) was at the Odeon Concert Club in Cleveland. Day for Night was just released. The venue was packed full of fellow Canadians and we were all treated so well by our southern allies. Watching The Hip on SNL was unbelievable, thank you Dan.

Thank you, Dan Akroyd. RIP Gordon Downie. You are dearly missed!

[FamilynamePalmer]

This LIVE on SNL is better than the studio record! Please get this live performance I’d listen everyday

[PatrickManganelli]

I must be living under a rock; never heard their music i WILL find it! Seeing Chris Farley in awe brought me back. Love Dan Akroyd.

Canadian Rock legends RIP Gord and Chris.
I remember this night, such a Canadian moment of pride. I still remember blasting them on the way to my friend camper in Fenlon Falls driving through Bobcaygeon... Lost that friend last fall.

[DionSt.Michael]

One more reason to respect and admire, Mr Ackroyd. Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦

[CREEPLAIR]

Saturday night has never been so wonderful as it was with Chevy Chase & Gilda Radner and John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd and Father Guido Sarducci and all the rest of the amazing cast.
Such a great privilege to have lived through it, if I had any privilege at all.

[KegstandOG]

Dan Akroyd will always be one of my cinematic heroes! So cool to see him give a hand to small group like that!

[I-Am-Kirk]

farley looked like he was really liking the hip, love it

[lauriediandrea]

I literally grew up with SNL. I was introduced to so many bands I would have otherwise never known of. The Hip being one of them.

[Tinclogs]

How the rest of the world never knew truly this band is beyond me. Love from Ireland. ☘️

[Hondadoodle]

Dan Aykroyd, Gord, the hip! Fuck yes! I miss Gord. That man is responsible for my youth having a glorious soundtrack to trigger all the good memories!

When Americans and Canadians work together it’s magic.
