Live from Earth is the first live album from Pat Benatar and was released in 1983. It also contains two studio tracks, "Love Is a Battlefield" and "Lipstick Lies", which were produced by Neil Giraldo and Peter Coleman. The album peaked at No. 13 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart[4] and sold more than a million copies.[5] The album was recorded during Benatar's sold out 'Get Nervous' world tour in late 1982 and early 1983.
