Live at the Greek is a live album by Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes, released by MusicMaker.com on 29 February 2000[5], then reissued by TVT Records on 4 July 2000. It was remastered, expanded, and reissued by The Orchard Records as a definitive version for its 25th anniversary in early 2025.

On the October 18th and 19th dates of their 1999 tour,[6] at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes recorded songs from their performances, which were released on this live album in 2000. Songs performed included material from the Led Zeppelin and The Black Crowes catalogues and old blues and rock standards.

Contractual restrictions with The Black Crowes’ record company prevented their own songs from being released on the first two issues of Live at the Greek. The 25th anniversary edition restored them, including the original bonus tracks from the Japan releases that were recorded elsewhere in 2000.
