Live! is a live album by American composer, bandleader and keyboardist Carla Bley recorded at the Great American Music Hall in 1981 and released on the Watt/ECM label in 1982.
Critical reaction to the album is generally positive but varies. The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "Listeners looking for prime Carla Bley would do better to search out her earlier, far more adventurous and creative work".
