Live from Earth is the first live album by American rock singer Pat Benatar, and was released in October 1983. The album was recorded during Benatar's sold out Get Nervous world tour in late 1982 and early 1983. It also contains two studio tracks, "Love Is a Battlefield" and "Lipstick Lies", which were produced by Neil Giraldo and Peter Coleman. The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 albums chart[5] and shipped more than a million copies.[6] "Love Is a Battlefield" was an international hit single and garnered Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1984.[7]

A concert from the same tour was filmed for a HBO special and released on VHS in 1985 with the title In Concert, but with a different and expanded track listing.[8] The footage was re-released on VHS with the title Benatar the same year and in 1998 on DVD as Live in New Haven, without the last two tracks.[4]
