Live at Hammersmith '82! is a live album by the English pop rock band Duran Duran. Originally recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon on 16 November 1982 (1982-11-16), it was released by EMI Records on 21 September 2009 (2009-09-21) (6 October 2009 (2009-10-06) in the U.S.) as a CD/DVD double pack.[3]

The set was the third of three nights at the Hammersmith Odeon. The show was released in various ways, including as a King Biscuit Flower Hour vinyl release[4] and various bootlegs, including "Planet Heart".[5]

The live version of "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)", originally from Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, was eventually released as the UK B-side to "The Reflex".

The CD/DVD release is supplemented by extra archive DVD content not previously released on DVD, including all six videos made for tracks off the Rio album, as well as two archived Top of the Pops performances.

The release date of Live at Hammersmith '82! coincides with the release of the two-disc (both CD and heavyweight vinyl) special editions of Rio.

For Black Friday Record Store Day 2022, Live at Hammersmith '82! was reissued on gold double vinyl edition limited to 4500 copies worldwide.[6]
