Review
Wainwright is well served by this collection of samples of his live work, which also doubles as the best of his 70s material, with songs like "Whatever Happened to Us," "Nocturnal Stumblebutt," and "Clockwork Chartreuse." ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi| A Live Injection: Anthology 1968-1979 (2002 Album by Lee "Scratch" Perry) | |

A Live One is a live album by Loudon Wainwright III. The live performances included on the album were recorded on a tour of the British Isles in 1976 and at McCabe's in Los Angeles in 1978. It was released in 1979 on Rounder Records.
His first completely live album, it was released during the longest hiatus between studio albums so far in his career (five years): his farewell to the 70's (1978's Final Exam) and his self-reinvention on 1983's Fame and Wealth. Furthermore, since the track list relies on early LP's such as Attempted Mustache, the gap between his adjacent studio albums seems all the wider.
