THE essential live Hip album.......2007-02-16

It is very easy to get excited about this CD when you look at the set list for this concert. A solid arrangement of singles and classics along with other songs not as popular such as The Wherewithal and Don't Wake Daddy make it timeless. I can easily see myself picking this CD up again and enjoying it just as much 10 years from now.

When buying and listening to live albums of any band I always look for a few distinct qualities: Set list, length, quality of recording, amounts of ad-libbing, and crowd interaction. This album fails in none of those departments! The song choices for the concert is excellent in my opinion, the quality is equivalent to a studio recording, and the crowd is heard well throughout the whole CD.

The only possible drawbacks are that sometimes Gordy gets a little long-winded between verses and songs. Although it'll never bother me, I can see it being a low point for some listeners. Finally, even though its 14 tracks long I still would wish for more tracks but I think that's just me being greedy.

Buy this!!

I Said "I'm Tragically Hip, Come On Just Let's Go"..........2005-04-15

... She sort of bit her lip, "Gee I don't know"

This was my first ever Tragically Hip CD and (moreover) one of the first CDs that I ever owned. So, I have a bit of a bias in its favour. That being said, there is no better introduction to the Hip than their stellar live album "Live Between Us".

This CD offers hit after hit and really captures some of the tremendous energy of the Hip live. Ive seen them 4 times now and those have been some of my favourite concerts ever. Ive never been disappointed by the Hip live, and you won't be disappointed by this.

I would hesitate to recommend this album to the seasoned Hip collector, as it doesn't add that much to the studio versions and there are many, many great live Hip tracks widely available to download ("Killer Whale Tank", anyone?). But, it is still a great CD and is far from a waste of money

All in all, this is a awesome live CD from a awesome live band.

The Hip at their finest.......2004-07-23

As a long time listener to "The Hip" transplated to the good ol U.S of A I turn all my friends into Hip fans with this one.. Some of the most recent work they have done shows more maturity, but this is a great intro to a great Canadian Band...

What a live album should be........2003-12-10

This was a very pleasant suprise. Not only did I get the live album I was looking for, but I also got most of their popular songs. Of course there's a few tracks missing, but this does include "Grace Too", "Springtime In Vienna", "Gift Shop", and "Ahead By A Century". Plus it's got the excellent and moving "Courage". Most people should like "Gordon Downie's" ramblings between songs, but everyone should like how good this sounds. It's one of the best sounding live albums I've ever heard. Near studio quality, but with the crowd noise of course. Overall, I'd call it the best release from "The Tragically Hip", and one of the few available, even though it's an import.

the "hippest" live cd oot there.......2003-02-07

"Live Between Us" is the only live CD i have ever heard that captures the whole experience of a concert. You can feel the crowd from beginning to end...The CD captures the unmistakeable presence of Gord D as he hammers oot the lyrics...from The Luxury to Nautical Disaster...this CD captures all that a live show is...and more

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.

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

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!!

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..

Great for a new fan!.......2000-07-15

I would suggest this CD to anyone as a good choice for their first Tragically Hip CD. I got interested in the Hip and picked this one up and fell in love with them. I now own Phantom Power, Music @ Work, and Fully Completely. This CD is still my favorite from the group but the others are great too and I might be biased by it being my first... Check out the Tragically Hip, even (or especially) if you live in an area where no one knows who the Hip are...
