L-1VE

L-1VE is the first video album by English progressive metal band Haken. It was released on 22 June 2018. Most of the concert was filmed on 13 April 2017, at the Melkweg in Amsterdam during their 10th anniversary tour in 2017. It also includes four bonus tracks filmed at ProgPower USA 2016 at the Center Stage in Atlanta, which also includes Mike Portnoy's cameo appearance on gong, as well as all of the official videos from the Affinity album.

Background
About the release of the live album, the band commented on their official website: On 11 May 2018, Inside Out Music's official YouTube channel released a live performance of the song "In Memoriam", and Charlie Griffiths also commented: On 7 June 2018, the same channel released a live performance of the song "The Endless Knot". The band said: The artwork was once again produced by long-time collaborators Blacklake. The live audio was mixed by Jerry Guidroz, known for his work with Neal Morse and The Winery Dogs. Post production/editing work on both the Amsterdam and Atlanta concert films was carried out by Crystal Spotlight, known for their work with Steven Wilson and Dream Theater. == Critical reception ==
Critical reception
Reviewing the release for AllMusic, Thom Jurek claimed that "With few notable exceptions, it's rare that a live album would provide suitable enough introductions for new listeners and unsuspecting fans. That said, England's Haken prove the exception to the rule on L1ve." == Track listing ==
