Real Live is a 1984 live album release documenting Bob Dylan's performances in support of his successful Infidels release.

It was produced by Glyn Johns, and features Mick Taylor on lead guitar, and a guest appearance from Carlos Santana. Real Live was Dylan's best received live project since 1974's Before the Flood with The Band, though it performed poorly in the record shops, reaching a then-career low of #115 in the US and #54 in the UK.
