Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars the best live album experience ever recorded.......2004-03-07

These guys are huge in Canada and for good reason; their music is solid and exciting. Even if you only "enjoy" listening to an album by The Hip, once this band is experienced live you'll be completely drawn in. The sets are amazing, they are excellent musicians, and Gord Downie is the master storyteller. Simply put, a concert by The Hip cannot be beat.

This recording brings out experiences unmatched only by seeing them live. Being a sort of "greatest hits", this is a perfect album to introduce people to The Tragically Hip.

5 out of 5 stars Live Hip!.......2003-01-20

"Live Between Us" represents a nice fusion of the Hip's catalogue (at the time of its release). What it also represents (accurately) is how good the Hip are in concert.

Below are some song highlights:

"Springtime in Vienna" - I like this song as it appeared on the album "Trouble at the Henhouse" but it is absolutely amazing life. The Hip picks up the tempo slightly and the lively repeat of the chorus "We'll live to survive our paradoxes" has a powerful effect.

"Fully Completely" - Another example where the live version jumps out at you in a way the album version does not.

"Courage" - "Courage" is a staple at a live Hip show and represents in one song, the dynamism of the Hip.

"New Orleans is Sinking" - The Hip's "rock out jam" song. In the version here, lead singer Gordon Downie covers a portion of David Bowie's "China Girl."

"Scared" - Downie likes to talk to the audience... to give the audience a snip-it for thought while the music plays. What precedes "Scared" is a wonderful example of this.

"Nautical Disaster" - Perhaps my favorite Hip song of all time featuring banter from Downie: "They're turning this song into a movie starring Peter O'Toole in the role of the crummudgenly lighthouse keeper/ Jodie Foster in the role of Susan..."

"Live Between Us" gives the listener the feel of being at a Hip show as well as giving the listener the feeling that the entire disc is but one concert (no clumsy edits that take away the momentum of a live show). It is also quite long (77 mins or so) so you definitely get your money's worth. If you like The Hip or if you like live shows (or both), GET THIS ALBUM

5 out of 5 stars One of the best live albums ever -- really........2002-04-04

I don't lend myself to hyperbole often, but this disc perfectly captures the experience of seeing the Hip live. Most live albums fall short of capturing a show's energy and the interaction between a band and its audience, but this record gets it right. The Hip is a great live band, and they sound great here. The tracks are a really good cross-section of the band's career. This is a great way to get into this band, but be aware that Gordon Downie (the singer) is a very eccentric personality onstage, and this disc captures him and all of those eccentricities. Enjoy!!

5 out of 5 stars Tragically Hip is the way to go.......2000-08-11

I own all of the tragically hip CD's and out of all of them i like this one the most. In the beginning of the songs Gordon adds some thoughts...that really make you think. A lot of there songs just touch me...Ahead by a century,giftshop,nautical disaster, grace too and much much more. If you do not have this CD i urge you to go out and buy it...it all depends if you like the songs live. I just recently saw them live and it was the best thing that i did all summer, I am looking forward to another concert in the near future. My love goes out to Tragically Hip..
