Yeah, no kidding...the Hip are one of the seminal live bands of our generation, certainly THE seminal live band of our nation. Can anybody imagine Phish, or the Dead, or even Rush editing a concert down to one CD? These bands understand the highest esteem in which their live show is held, and the hunger of their fans for as much as possible. With some of these bands' double and even triple live albums, you are STILL left wanting more, more, more!

The live album is brilliant, no doubt, but losing the remainder is like bearing witness to seven perfect innings followed by a blown save.
