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, one of these tracks, "Good Canadian", was 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.
On the cover of the album, Martin Tielli is playing a double neck guitar which he painted himself with a "never quite presented idea" for the new Canadian flag designed by A.Y. Jackson.[2]
