Live is a concert recording by fusion band Return to Forever. It was recorded at the Palladium in New York City on May 20th & 21st, 1977 as part of the tour to support the Musicmagic album. This was the only tour to feature the 1977 group, which included original members Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke and saxophonist Joe Farrell, along with keyboardist/vocalist Gayle Moran (previously in Mahavishnu Orchestra), and a six-piece horn section.

Originally released as a single LP, the album was re-issued in 1978 as a four LP set called Return to Forever Live: The Complete Concert, which contained the full concert as heard by those who attended, including extended sections of dialogue and audience applause.
