Live at the BBC is a double compact disc compilation album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, recorded at various BBC radio sessions between 1967 and 1971. It contains many tracks by Fleetwood Mac which are otherwise unavailable.
According to Mick Fleetwood, the release was initiated around 1992 by a fan of Fleetwood Mac when they informed him that some BBC tapes of the band were still intact. Fleetwood then contacted the BBC, who insisted that the tapes had actually been destroyed. The BBC was eventually able to supply these recordings to Fleetwood and spent 15 months preparing them for release and clearing the licensing. He was impressed with the quality of the tapes and said that they "represented everything this band was when we first started.": 0:00–1:30
