You feel pretty f–king spent’: watch clips of Gord Downie’s final Secret Path rehearsals – CBC

October 11, 2018

The CBC documentary Finding the Secret Path, which chronicles the last year of Gord Downie’s life as he worked to bring Chanie Wenjack’s story to Canadians, airs tomorrow night on CBC TV.

Ahead of the Oct. 12 broadcast premiere, CBC Music has never-before-seen footage from the documentary of Downie and his bandmates rehearsing for their two Secret Path concerts, which took place in the fall of 2016. Written and directed by Mike Downie, and co-produced by Gord himself, the documentary will air less than a week before the one-year anniversary of the late Tragically Hip frontman’s death on Oct. 17.

With appearances by Downie’s brothers, Pat and Mike, Chanie Wenjack’s sister, Pearl, and Secret Path band members Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin (Broken Social Scene), Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies), Josh Finlayson (Skydiggers) and Dave Hamelin (The Stills), the exclusive clip shows the band rehearsing the 10-song concept album.
