Live — концертный альбом американского соул-исполнителя Донни Хэтэуэя (#Donny_Hathaway). Он содержит записи с двух концертов, один в лос-анджелесском клубе «The Troubadour», второй - в нью-йоркском клубе «The Bitter End».
В альбоме представлены несколько традиционных соул-гимнов, такой как кавер на хит Марвина Гэя 1971 года «What's Going On», а также поп-стандарт Кэрол Кинг «You've Got a Friend».
Также в альбоме примечательны два соло: один — на электрик-пиано Хэтэуэя на треке «The Ghetto», а второй - на басу Уилли Уикса на «Voices Inside (Everything Is Everything)».
