Greatest Hits Live is the third live album by the band Saxon. It is the first album with bass player Timothy "Nibbs" Carter. It was released in 1990, just one year after their previous live album Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the band's successful career since their second album Wheels of Steel (1980), together with a VHS of the concert. This '10 Years Of Denim And Leather' concert was later released on DVD as Saxon 'Live Legends' with the extra track Strong Arm of the Law.
