Live at Yankee Stadium is a 1969 live album by The Isley Brothers, released on their own T-Neck imprint. While the Isleys do appear in this live album, it's actually a live showcase by the group to put together artists that signed to their T-Neck label including Judy White, the girl group Sweet Cherries, the gospel group the Edwin Haskins Singers and the family soul group the Five Stairsteps, all the guest artists except for the Edwin Haskins Singers, sung songs that were written and produced for them by the Isleys. The Isleys themselves proved to be worth-waiting singing their then-current hits "It's Your Thing", "I Turned You On" and the 1959 classic, "Shout!", which ended the show bringing in audience members alongside them as they ended the performance.
