Live From CBGB's is a concert recording by the funk metal band Living Colour, released in 2005. It was captured at the New York club on 19 December 1989, when the band returned home after the worldwide success of their debut studio album, Vivid, across 1988 and 1989.

The set is a snapshot of a band between records. It previews a good deal of the new material that would turn up on Time's Up the following year, the album that went on to win a Grammy. It is also the only Living Colour album to include "Soldier's Blues" and "Little Lies", as well as their cover of the Bad Brains song "Sailin' On". That makes it well worth hearing for anyone who loves the group's early years.
