When the red recording light flashed on at Hollywood's storied Roxy Theatre, the pressure was on the Tragically Hip to put on a good show, guitarist Paul Langlois recalls.

It wasn't long before those nerves receded into the background, said Langlois, as frontman Gord Downie punctuated the rollicking set list with ad libbed musings.

The concert has earned coveted status among Hip collectors over the decades, both because of its storied Sunset Strip venue and Downie's off-the-cuff charisma, said Langlois. The album also features the fabled nine-minute rendition of "New Orleans Is Sinking" known to fans as the "killer whale tank" version, a reference to Downie's mid-song — possibly apocryphal — anecdote about a job cleaning an aquarium.
