High on Emotion: Live from Dublin is the first live album by Chris de Burgh, released by A&M Records in 1990. The album was recorded at the RDS, Dublin in December 1988.

Contents

The double vinyl and cassette versions of the album featured 17 tracks from the concert. Due to the limitations of the running time of CD, the tracks 'Lonely Sky' and 'The Ballroom of Romance' were omitted from the CD version. These two tracks were included on the CD single release of the live version of 'Don't Pay the Ferryman' which was released to support the album. (This live version of 'The Ballroom of Romance' was also released as a B-side on a Germany-only single of 'Don't Look Back' released in 1989, over a year prior to the release of this album.)

A 81 minute concert film was widely released on VHS cassette in 1990, under the title "Chris de Burgh - Live From Dublin". This included the same track list as the vinyl and cassette releases, however with the track 'The Ballroom of Romance' missing. A very limited release of the video also took place on Laserdisc, a higher quality format.

A number of other songs were performed on this tour but are not included on any these releases. These include "Leather on my Shoes", "One Word (Straight to the Heart)", "A Night on the River", "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" and "The Getaway".
