Everything Live is a concert film of the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers' performance at the NYNEX Arena, Manchester, England on 24 May 1997. Along with the 1996 album Everything Must Go, it captures the band's comeback following the disappearance of their rhythm guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards and their transition to being a major band. On the tenth anniversary edition of Everything Must Go, bassist Nicky Wire cites the concert as the moment he knew that the band had "made it".

The film was released as a VHS video on 29 September 1997 by Sony Music Video, and the full concert was later released on DVD as part of the Everything Must Go 20th Anniversary Edition reissue.

Everything Live was directed by Dick Carruthers. The first 12,000 copies came with five postcards featuring photographs of the band by their official photographer Mitch Ikeda.
