''Live Between Us'' is the first full-length live album by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. The album was recorded on November 23, 1996, at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan, during the band's North American tour in support of ''Trouble at the Henhouse''. Lead singer Gordon Downie is known for his intensity and spontaneity during the band's live concerts such as telling rants/stories, observations, and random comments before, during, and after songs, among other things. As such, this live recording documents him singing verses of other artists' songs in the middle of the band's own songs, including David Bowie/Iggy Pop's "China Girl" and The Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" during "New Orleans Is Sinking", and both Jane Siberry's "The Temple" and Rheostatics' "Bad Time to Be Poor" during "Nautical Disaster". The Rheostatics were the opening act on the tour as documented by this album's liner notes, and announced by Downie during the fade-in at the beginning of the album's first track. In the week of the album's release, eight songs from the album appeared in the week's Top 20 singles chart. The title comes from graffiti in Kingston, Ontario, which read "The Hip live between us." This graffiti was penned by early band member Davis Manning,〔(Copper Penny )〕 describing the impact that the band was having on his relationship with his girlfriend. The mural remained on the wall until the mid-2000s when it was painted over by the property owner. However, it is immortalized on the CD graphic. ==Commercial performance== ''Live Between Us'' debuted at #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Albums/CDs - Volume 65, No. 13, June 02 1997 )〕 The album was certified Double Platinum on August 19, 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gold Platinum Database: The Tragically Hip - Live Between Us )〕 The album sold 400,000 units by the end of 1997. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live Between Us」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
