Never Say Die: Live is a live album by Waylon Jennings, released on Sony Records through the Lucky Dog imprint in 2000. Jennings' second live album – after Waylon Live (1976) – and his last record of original material to be released during his lifetime, it was recorded at the Ryman Auditorium on January 5 and 6, 2000. The album is credited to "Waylon and the Waymore Blues Band", referring to the singer's backing band, and features a host of guests, including Jessi Colter, Montgomery Gentry, John Anderson and Travis Tritt. The songs themselves are a mix of original Jennings hits, tracks from his more recent albums and compositions he had never covered. Like 1998's Closing in on the Fire, Never Say Die: Live reached #71 on the country charts.
