Are you talking about when they were fired from their weeklong gig at the Diamond club? It was a Tuesday I think. They were stuck in the city but local music scene arranged for them to keep playing while they were here

2. THE TRAGICALLY HIP
Diamond Club, March 14, 1988
The Garden City club now known as Silverado's has the dubious distinction of being the only bar in Canada to ever fire The Tragically Hip.
Playing its first dates outside its native Ontario, the future Can-rock superstars had a week of shows booked at the newly opened Diamond Club and fellow Hospitality Corp. nightspot Night Moves.
But The Hip's stripped-down rock 'n' roll sound proved unpleasant to the ears of Diamond Club management, who fired the band for being too uncommercial.
At that point in the band's career, it might have been the best thing that ever happened to The Hip. Spurred on by publicity, The Hip's shows were moved over to a Fort Rouge bar called Corner Boys (now a Thai restaurant), downtown's Portage Village Inn (now record store A&B Sound) and the University of Manitoba.
"I would almost prefer to play a place just for the beer or the door as long as it's a cool place," frontman Gord Downie told the Free Press at the time.
"There's nothing more tiring than playing to a room full of people who would rather be listening to piped-in disco music — the kind of place where they get down on you because you don't have a crease in your pants."
