Live Between Us

Live Between Us is a live album by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip.

It was recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan, on November 23, 1996, and released in 1997. It is considered a good representation of a typical live show, with much improvisation among both the singer Gordon Downie and the rest of the band.

Downie often begins to sing other songs in the middle of his own, including The Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" during crowd favourite "New Orleans is Sinking", and both Jane Siberry's "The Temple" and Rheostatics' "Bad Time to Be Poor" in "Nautical Disaster". (Rheostatics were the Hip's opening act on the tour documented by this album.)

The title actually comes from graffiti in Kingston, Ontario, which read "The Hip live between us." (with 'live' written as a verb).
