Greatest Hits Live is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's 15th album, second greatest-hits album and first live album, released in 1988. It is Simon's only live album to date.
All the songs are live versions recorded on 35MM film from a 1987 HBO special shot on Martha's Vineyard called Carly Simon: Live from Martha's Vineyard, which was released in 1987 on VHS and in 2004 and 2010 on DVD.
The album version runs in a different track order than the video version, and three tracks from the video version are removed- "Give Me All Night", "You Have To Hurt", and "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of". The song "The Right Thing to Do", is included on the album, but didn't make it into the final televised cut of the concert. It would later be included on both DVD releases as a bonus performance.
Greatest Hits Live has been released on Vinyl, Cassette tape, and Compact disc. The album sold very well upon release, going Gold immediately. In 1996, the album was certified Platinum by the RIAA, for sales of over 1,000,000 copies in the United States alone.
