Live is the first live album by 311. Recorded during the Transistor tour. The album was recorded on September 17, 1997, at the UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Reception

"Live" received mostly negative reviews from critics, With AllMusic reviewer Jason Kaufman giving it a 1 and-a half start rating, saying "This concert document seems about as necessary as a pet rock." while adding, "Even with spacy songs like "Who's Got the Herb?," the blatant Santana rip-off guitar solos of "Nix Hex," and "Homebrew," the experience isn't good enough for a contact high associated with the best, or even semi-competent, live albums."
