Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a live album by Australian rock group Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, released on 24 November 2008. It was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 19 and 20 May 1997 during the tour for The Boatman's Call and eight of these tracks (plus a version of "The Weeping Song") were originally released as a nine-track bonus disc for The Best of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. The live album features a version of "Where the Wild Roses Grow" with vocals by Blixa Bargeld, which is delivered in a way that is similar to the demo version that was included on the B-Sides & Rarities album. The live recordings display the more mellow sound and performances that the group had been showcasing during that period, and would continue to deliver in the later No More Shall We Part album.
