Live! is Catch 22's first full-length live release, although fan-recorded live tracks were bonus features on several previous albums. Roughly a third of the album is devoted to Keasbey Nights, another third to Alone in a Crowd, and the remainder to Dinosaur Sounds. A bonus DVD includes footage from the concert, as well as a variety of extras. However, former frontman Tomas Kalnoky is conspicuously absent from the footage of the band's early days.
Live is an album by The Dubliners recorded live at the Fiesta Club,Sheffield and released on the Polydor label in 1974. This was to be Ronnie Drew's last recording with The Dubliners for five years as he left to pursue a solo career. Also following this album, Ciarán Bourke ceased to be a full-time member of the group when he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He sings "All for Me Grog" here. The reels that open this album (and which first were released on the group's 1967 studio album A Drop of the Hard Stuff) have become the opening instrumental medley at most of their concerts since.

Live is Jake Shimabukuro's 2009 solo album. It was released in April 2009, and consists of live in-concert performances from various venues around the world, including New York, Chicago, Japan, and Hawaii.
Live peaked at number 5 in Billboard's Top World Music Albums in 2009 and 2010. The album won the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Instrumental Album of the Year, and also garnered Shimabukuro the award for Favorite Entertainer of the Year. In addition, it won the 2010 Hawaii Music Award for Best Ukulele Album.
AllMusic noted that, "Shimabukuro is a monster musician and boldly takes the ukulele where no ukulele has ever gone before, dazzling listeners with his blinding speed, melodic invention, and open-ended improvisations of remarkable virtuosity. Before Shimabukuro, the idea of spending an evening listing to a solo ukulele player was probably most people's idea of hell, but the 17 solo efforts here never bore. They show Shimabukuro's range and his humor as well."
We've been trying something a little different this tour
we've been looking at one of our songs from a different angle
under a different light
so we can hopefully kinda almost see it for the first time
we'd like to try that for you tonight, is that okay?
we're gonna need your help though
we're gonna need your help and your permission
so we need you to find a comfotable space
that is not only comfotable but vunerable
i want you to shut your eyes and go there
and we'll meet you on the other side........
Saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
take care not to make me enter
if i do we both may disappear
Saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
managed to push myself away
and you as well my dear
and you, as well
pushed you away my dear
I will choke until I swallow
choke this infant right before me
What are you but my reflection?
who am i to judge or strike you down?
who am i to judge or strike you down?
but your pushing me
and i'm shoving you
and your pushing me
and i'm shoving you
Rest your trigger on my finger
bang my head upon the fault line
You better take care not to make me enter
if i do we both may disappear
if i do we both may disappear
but your pushing me
and i'm shoving you
and your pushing me
and i'm shoving you
you still love me
you still love me
you still love me
you still love me
and were pushing and were shoving
and i'm pushing as your shoving
And i'm slipping back into the gap again
i feel alive when you touch me.
i feel alive when you hold me........down
slipping back into you
slipping back into you
i am somewhere i don't wanna be, yeah
put me somewhere i don't wanna be
push me somewhere i don't wanna be
seeing someplace i don't wanna see
never wanna see that place again.....
saw the gap again today
while you were begging me to stay
managed to push myself away
and you as well my dear
if, when i say i might fade like a sigh if i stay,
you minimize my movement anyways
i must persuade you another way
pushing and shoving and
pushing and shoving and
pushing me
there's no love in fear
starring down the hole again
hands are on my back again
survival is my only friend
terrified of what may come
Remember i will always love you
As i claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
it will end no other way.
