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."
(Feat. Fiji)
I've been captivated ever since the first time I saw you
You were like a non-stop train on the move
Taking me places I never thought I'd go to
Now I realize how much I love you
Ooh...
If only I wasn't so blind, I will have you by my side
Now that were living our separate lives
I hope that true love never passed me by
Chorus
This thing of ours so beautiful never needed more
Just like a flower you did it all without touching the floor
It is what it is my love (x2)
Ah yeah
Yo Fiji I knew you'd always be the one to complete me
Since the day we met it's always been so easy
To love you up (x2)
You won my heart every time you hold me in your arms
Your tender love and charm when I look into your eyes
I recognize that our love will never die
Chorus
This thing of ours so beautiful never needed more
Just like a warrior you did it all without touching the floor
It is what it is my love (x2)
Girl... your... eyes... your... lips... your face... your touch
Down to your hips... your... legs I love so much
If loving you was wrong girl I don't wanna be right
I was in the dark until you showed me the light
Never did I think that I would experience
Something so ridiculously beautiful as you
Chorus... (x2)
