The Manhattan Transfer Live was recorded by The Manhattan Transfer live at Manchester on 23 April 1978, Bristol on 28 April 1978, and the Hammersmith Odeon Theatre, London, on 2 May 1978. The album was produced by Tim Hauser and Janis Siegel. This was the final album made with Laurel Massé.

The Manhattan Transfer Live was recorded when group was very successful and had become very popular in Europe; the enthusiasm heard in the audiences is evident in this recording.

For many years this album had the distinction of being the only Manhattan Transfer album not to be released on CD. It was released by Wounded Bird Records (WOU-540) on CD in 2005.

In the live performances there was an intermission between Speak Up Mambo (Cuentame) (CD track 8) and In The Dark (CD track 9).
