Live is the first official compilation of live material by the band Ben Folds Five. It was released on June 4, 2013, via Ben Folds' own ImaVeePee Records and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment.
The album is a compilation of live recordings taken during the band's world tour in support of their reunion record, The Sound of the Life of the Mind.
The album received positive reviews from AllMusic, Paste Magazine, and American Songwriter. Allmusic gave Ben Folds Five: Live 3 out of 5 stars, saying "...while the trio may not enjoy the same levels of athleticism that they did in their twenties, they've certainly lost nothing in the chops department."[1]
