Live from Albertane

Live from Albertane is a live album by American pop rock group Hanson. As the name suggests, it is a live album, recorded during the group's Albertane Tour. Albertane is a fictional place (the capital of Mars) referred to in their song "Man from Milwaukee".

With lead vocalist Taylor Hanson in his mid-teens at the time this album was recorded, his voice is noticeably deeper than in their previous releases. The song selection mostly focuses on the Middle of Nowhere album, but also contains some older material, a new track "Ever Lonely" and a couple of covers of classic songs. Hanson's live sound was not critically well received, with allmusic.com's Michael Gallucci commenting "the wan 'MMMBop' included here proves that the song's charm was just as much the Dust Brothers as it was the Hanson brothers".

It is estimated the album has sold around 500,000 copies in the U.S. and around the 1 million mark worldwide.
