Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie clutches his fists on stage in Kingston, Ont., Saturday during the band's final performance of its Man Machine Poem tour. Paul and Bobbi Taillefer watched the show with their dog at Assiniboine Park. "My mom, I'm sad for her too but she's had a longer life, and I just feel really sad for his family," she said.
