Live at the BBC is a compilation live album of the British progressive rock band Curved Air from sessions on:

  • 10 November 1970 (tracks 1-3)
  • 5 January 1971 (tracks 4-5)
  • 9 March 1971 (tracks 6-8)
  • 29 January 1976 in concert at Paris Theatre, London (tracks 9-13)[1]

The album's liner notes give conflicting dates for the sessions. The prose section lists the dates as above, while a secondary listing dates tracks 1-3 as 28 April 1970, places track 6 in the same session as tracks 4-5, and provides the unlikely date of 27 January 1971 (just three weeks after the previous session) for tracks 7 and 8.

The album was released in 1995.

The songs "Thinking On The Floor" and "Stark Naked" were never recorded in the studio, while the lyrics for "Young Mother In Style" are different from those of the song "Young Mother" on their Second Album.
