Live 1983-1989 cobbles together live performances across Eurythmics' hit years, presenting them as a single, continuous performance on two discs.

Presented chronologically, the performances also hew to the material released near the time of recordings: Tracks from 1983 such as "Love Is a Stranger" and "Who's That Girl?" are culled from 1983 concerts and sound very similar to their studio-recorded, electronic leaning versions despite the availability of later performances in which the songs are performed acoustic or with a rock band.

A limited three-disc version provides the exception. The third disc contains six songs drawn from a short acoustic set performed during the We Too Are One tour. Songs such as 1983's "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Right By Your Side" are included along with more recent fare: "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart."
