Live in Concert is a live album by the Irish folk group Clannad which was released in 2005. The album was compiled from concerts recorded during their 1996 European tour.
It features new versions of material from across the band's catalogue as far back as their 1973 debut album. Songs originally released in their simplest acoustic form are now performed here with brand new full band arrangements. "In A Lifetime" features a duet with former Riverdance singer Brian Kennedy.
An 11-minute medley of music from the Robin of Sherwood TV series, is notable for including previously unreleased music from the series that has yet to be released on any other Clannad album. These songs include "Royal" and "Action", and later in the tracklisting, "Dance".
The album was released as a free CD with the Irish Mail On Sunday newspaper on 17 October 2010, under the title "The Collection". The CD omitted "Dance & Téidhir Abhaile Riú" and edited the "Robin of Sherwood Medley" from 11:22 to 4:00.
