Live is an album by Ray Charles. It consists of live concert recordings from the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958 and from an Atlanta show at Herndon Stadium in 1959. The album was originally released in 1987 and re-released in 1990. Portions of the Newport show were previously available on Ray Charles at Newport. The Atlanta show was previously released as What'd I Say (1959) and In Person (1960).


Capturing both the inexorably cathartic and effortlessly blasting

natures of the era's Charles gigs, it's another must-own for his fans.
