Live in America (Transatlantic album)

Live in America is the first live album by the progressive rock supergroup Transatlantic. Released in 2001, it documents the United States tour in support of their album SMPT:e. Because the group had only released one studio album at the time, numerous cover songs are present on the album. The live album was recorded at the 930 Club in Washington D.C on June 24, 2000. The accompanying live video was recorded on June 21, 2000 at the Theater of the Living Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which features some slight variations from the DC show featured on the live album (such as the inclusion of "Honky Tonk Woman" by The Rolling Stones).
