Live at Looney Tunes is a live CD of Kevin Devine's in-store performance at Looney Tunes CDs in Long Island, NY on April 18, 2009. [1] The CD (and performance itself) was a special Looney Tunes exclusive for Record Store Day 2009. It was given away for free to those who purchased Brother's Blood from the store. [2]

The CD was recorded and released on the same day, being printed on CD-Rs with "Kevin" hand-written on them. The track list is not printed on the CD.

The show was performed in a semi-acoustic fashion with no drummer.

The release, limited to 500, featured new artwork on a hand number gatefold jacket, remastered audio and a digital download code. The 500 copies were split across three variants: 200 copies on sky blue, red & bone color split with leaf green splatter exclusive to the Enjoy The Ride Records webstore, 200 copies on bone with ginger splatter exclusive to the Brookvale Records webstore and 100 copies on black vinyl split between the two webstores.
