Live (Usher album)
''Live'' is a live album by American recording artist Usher. It was recorded on October 15 and 16, 1998 in the singer's hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and released by LaFace Records on March 23, 1999. Both audio-only and video longform versions were released; it was distributed to break up the gap between Usher's second and third studio albums, ''My Way'' (1997) and ''8701'' (2001).
''Live'' received generally negative reviews from critics; many criticized the poor live sound of Usher's voice on the album. ''Live'' reached number 73 on the ''Billboard'' 200, number 30 on the Top R&B Albums and number 3 on the Top Music Videos. The album has sold over 200,000 copies in the United States, and both the audio and video versions have been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
==Background==
''Live'' was released to keep Usher's fans satisfied during the four-year break between ''My Way'' (1997) and ''8701'', his second and third studio albums, respectively. During that time, Usher was busy pursuing an acting career in films ''The Faculty'' (1998), ''Light It Up'' (1999) and ''Texas Rangers'' (2001). The album was recorded at two free concerts Usher performed in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee on October 15 and 16, 1998. Usher stated his reasons for releasing a live album in an interview with MTV, "I really like the sound of a band, that's one, just for myself, but there were so many people who didn't get a chance to see the concert, so I came out with a live version of most of the songs on my album, and I came out with a home video for all the people who didn't get a chance to see the performance, and a little bio of me as well." Seven of the songs included on ''Live'' are from Usher's self-titled debut album (1994) and ''My Way''. A medley of songs originally performed by Bobby Brown—"Don't Be Cruel", "Every Little Step", "Rock Wit'cha" and "Roni"—is also featured on the album, along with covers of Force MDs' "Tender Love" and LL Cool J's "I Need Love".〔
