For the anime episode of Haruhi Suzumiya, see List of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episodes.

Live Alive is the first live album compiled from four live performances by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. The performances were recorded on July 15, 1985 at the Montreux Jazz Festival; July 17–18, 1986 at the Austin Opera House; and July 19, 1986 at Dallas Starfest. Much of the album was overdubbed in the studio.^[1] CD releases of the album omit the final song "Life Without You", without mentioning the omission and despite packaging stating "2-Record Set On 1 Compact Disc".^[2]
