Live in a Dive is a recording of live material from the New York City hardcore punk band, Sick of It All. It is part of a Fat Wreck Chords series of Live in a Dive albums, this one being released in August, 2002. The CD version contains 23 songs and an interview clip, while the vinyl edition contains an additional song "Bullshit Justice."
Reception Ox-Fanzine wrote "Songs like "Us Vs. Them," "My Life," "Step Down," and "Busted" sound much better live. For those whose parents won't allow them to go to hardcore concerts, this album perfectly captures the atmosphere of a SOIA show, and for everyone else, it's a nice reminder of the last concert. The sound quality is also very good, which adds even more points."
