Live is the first live album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released in 1977. It was recorded primarily at the Rainbow Theatre in London on March 25, 1977, with Side B "Second Heat" recorded February 27, 1977 at Theater de Storm, Winterswijk, Netherlands.

In 2022 the album was reissued as the second installment of Red Bullet Productions' Remastered & Expanded series, with the original Sides A–C on CD1, Side D plus bonus tracks on CD2, and a bonus DVD. The CD bonus tracks were recorded March 18, 1977 at Zaal Tea Groene Poorte in Brugge, Belgium, and include alternate versions of two songs from the original LP, and "I Need Love", which was not. The bonus tracks are rounded out by the two single edits released in 1977.

The DVD includes four live tracks from IJsselhallen, Zwolle, Netherlands on August 28, 1977, including a pre-release version of "Leather", which was recorded for the subsequent LP Grab It for a Second.[3]
