Greatest Hits Live (Rip It to Shreds) is a live album by the original members of The Animals. It was released in 1984.[2]

Background

[edit]

The album documents the 1983 concert tour that accompanied the second, and last, reunion attempt of the original group.

While approximately two-thirds of the tour's shows were taken from Ark, the 1983 reunion album, and one-third were drawn from the line-up's original 1960s recordings, Greatest Hits Live focuses almost exclusively on the older material.
