Live in Europe is the first live album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Although released in 1973, it was recorded in 1971 during the Pendulum tour.
Overview
The album documents the band performing as a trio, following Tom Fogerty's departure. It was released, despite John Fogerty's strong objections,<ref name="AllMusic" /><ref name=amazon>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=cduniverse>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=fm>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=rollingstone>Template:Cite magazine</ref> after his final struggles with Fantasy Records over his songwriting. In 1973, Fogerty said he would never play a Creedence song again, as it would only benefit Fantasy Records—a promise he kept for some 20 years.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

When the album was remastered and issued on CD by Fantasy Records in 1999, the two missing songs were restored.
