Glenn Frey Live is a live album by Glenn Frey, released in 1993. In 2018, Universal Music released a four-disc pack entitled Above the Clouds, in honor of Glenn Frey after his death in 2016, which features fully remastered video of the concert featured on this album (including omitted songs).
Reception Juke said, "Half of this material is from Frey's old band. The new stuff, save for the lovely "The One You Love", fails to spark. The LPs reason for being is hard to grasp."

Omitted songs MCA video released the entire concert on video as Glenn Frey: Strange Weather Live, in 1992. Because there was not enough room on the Live CD, the concert includes three songs (all from Frey's solo career) that the CD left out. The concert opens with the Strange Weather album track "Long Hot Summer", the 1988 single "Livin' Right" appears halfway through, and 1982's "Partytown" is part of the encore.
