Live Bootleg is the first live album, by American Christian rock band Resurrection Band, released in 1984. It was the band's first release for Sparrow Records, and also their first under the shortened moniker "Rez Band." Live Bootleg was the group's biggest selling album.[1]

Recording history

Recorded before a loud and responsive local audience at the Odeum Arena in Chicago over two nights in October 1983, this album features a mixture of the band's most popular live tracks as well as two new songs: "Gameroom" and "Playground". The album also features the only time a song from one of the band's independent cassettes was ever re-recorded for one of their official releases ("Quite Enough"). "Gameroom" continues the trend begun on D.M.Z. of directly addressing the concerns of a high-school aged audience, and the album closes with a powerful evangelistic message from Glenn Kaiser, which was typical of the band's live performances.

Steve Taylor was Rez Band's opening act for this concert.
