Aztecs Live! At Sunbury was a double live album released in August 1972 by Australian hard rock group Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, which was recorded at the inaugural Sunbury Pop Festival in late January.[2] [3]

Aztecs Live! At Sunbury included eight tracks from their set. The double LP peaked at number 4 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart in September 1972.[4] In mint condition, the original LP release, with pop-up inserts, is much sought after by collectors.[5] A CD version was released in 2007 by Aztec Music, as Live at Sunbury by Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs.[6]

In October 2010, Aztecs Live! At Sunbury (1972) was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.[7]

The album is not to be confused with their previous album, entitled Aztecs Live, which was first released in 1971 and peaked at number 8 in the Australian album chart in April 1972.[8]
