Double Live Gonzo! is a live album by the American hard rock guitarist Ted Nugent, released as a double LP in 1978. In addition to live versions of songs from previous albums, this double album also contains original material played live, including: "Yank Me, Crank Me" and "Gonzo". The album has reached 3× Platinum status in the United States.
Assistant Producer Ric Browde stated in an interview on the Full in Bloom podcast that literally every instrument, every vocal, and all audience noise heard on the album was actually recorded in the studio. Nothing on the album was actually recorded live in concert, it is entirely a studio album.
Recording Nugent later said, "There are moments on that album I can not listen to. I can not listen to "Stranglehold". It's a piece of shit. The son of a bitch is too slow. It's out of fucking tune. "Great White Buffalo" is one of my all-time favorite songs. I can't even listen to the cocksucker on that record."
