'''''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]]''.<ref>{{cite book| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fg8EAAAAMBAJ&q=Tragically+Hip+Billboard&pg=PA63 | title=Tragically Hip's Live Universal Set Welcomed In Canada| date=7 June 1997| publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]| accessdate=May 29, 2014}}</ref>

Lead singer Gordon Downie was 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 incorporating snippets of other songs in the middle of the band's own songs. This includes [[John Lennon]]'s "[[Imagine (John Lennon song)|Imagine]]" during "Grace, Too", [[Crowded House]]'s "Into Temptation" during "Twist My Arm", [[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"; in addition, a lyrical snippet from Downie's own solo song "Every Irrelevance" is spoken as the introduction to "Ahead by a Century", and part of the band's own unreleased but widely bootlegged song "Montreal" appears in "Courage".

[[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,<ref>[http://rainbowcountry.bc.ca/TheHip Copper Penny<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070906181816/http://www.rainbowcountry.bc.ca/TheHip/ |date=2007-09-06 }}</ref> 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.
