Eurythmics chronology

Live 1983–1989 is a compilation album of live performances by British pop duo Eurythmics, recorded throughout the 1980s, encompassing the years of their greatest commercial success. It was released in November 1993 by RCA Records.

The songs are presented chronologically across two discs, with most of the performances recorded close to the time of the original studio recording. For example, the performances of "Love Is a Stranger" and "Who's That Girl?", both from 1983 albums, are drawn from 1983 concerts and sound very similar to the studio versions.

Notes

"Would I Lie to You" abridged version that fades out at 3:35. Originally part of a medley that segued into a cover of the Beatles' "Day Tripper".
"The Miracle of Love" is incorrectly credited as recorded in Paris, September 1989, though it was actually recorded in Sydney, Australia, on 14 February 1987 and was featured (in full) on the Eurythmics Live video release.
