Plays Live is the first live and fifth album overall released by British rock musician Peter Gabriel. This album was originally released as a double album and longplay cassette, with sixteen songs and a running time of over 80 minutes. It was eventually reissued in as a double CD. When the Gabriel catalog was remastered and released in 2002, a single CD version "Plays Live - Highlights" with only twelve songs and some significant track time alterations, was released in the US while the full double-CD set, containing all the songs, was released in the UK.

The one original song - "I Go Swimming" - received airplay and made the US charts in 1983.
