Live & Well is a two-part electric blues album by B.B. King: the “Live” session (tracks 1 to 5) was performed in March 1969 live at the Village Gate in New York, whereas the “Well” session (tracks 6 to 10) is a studio recording made at The Hit Factory in January 1969. It was released as gatefold by BluesWay Records later that year.

The cover design by Byron Goto and Henry Epstein makes early use of Montgomery Pousse Cafe. The photography is by Ellen McNeilly.
