Double Live

Double Live is a 1997 album by Rheostatics. It collects a variety of live performances by the band, ranging from intimate club settings to record store sessions to their arena tour with The Tragically Hip in 1996. The album includes a number of tracks which have never appeared on any previous Rheostatics album. In fact, a few of these tracks (notably "Good Canadian") were improvised on the spot. The Hip's live album Live Between Us, released the same year, documents a show for which Rheostatics were the opening band. Gordon Downie acknowledges and thanks Rheostatics at the beginning of that album.

Track Listing

As with many of the band's albums, the songwriting is credited to varying combinations of the band members: Martin Tielli, Dave Bidini and Tim Vesely. (Don Kerr does not receive songwriting credit, as virtually all of these songs predate his arrival in the band. In some cases, even the performance predates Kerr.) Former band member Dave Clark is also credited on some numbers. Songwriting credits for each track are listed below.
