Weather Report - (2002) Live and Unreleased

Live and Unreleased is a compilation of live recordings of the jazz fusion band Weather Report, released on Legacy Recordings in 2002. The tracks are taken from live performances that took place from November 27, 1975 to June 3, 1983. It is their third official live recording after the Japan-only Live in Tokyo from 1972 and 8:30 from 1979, although previous albums such as Heavy Weather (1977) and Night Passage (1980) also included occasional live tracks.

The discs are sequenced in non-chronological fashion, with songs from different line-ups cross-faded into one another. The compositions "In a Silent Way" and "Directions" had both been recorded by Miles Davis during the tenure of Josef Zawinul and Wayne Shorter in the Davis band.
