Live is a 1992 live recording by Sarah McLachlan, not to be confused with the 2004 Live Acoustic EP. It documents a concert that McLachlan performed in September of that year in Harbourfront, Toronto, and was released on CD in October. All of the songs originally appeared on McLachlan's 1991 album Solace , except "Ben's Song", which is from her 1988 release Touch . Although labelled an EP, a format that usually has a short running time and only a few tracks, this release runs more than 30 minutes, above the length threshold of being a full album.

Contents

This album was released as a limited edition, which included a condensed version of McLachlan's 1991–1992 tour program; all copies released by the label have sold out. It is now considered a collector's item. It is the first of several live albums McLachlan has released to date.
