Live in the U.K. is the first live album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1989. It was released in Japan as Keepers Live. In the United States, it was released as I Want Out – Live without the track "Rise and Fall", and with a shorter edit of the introduction.
All tracks recorded in Edinburgh Playhouse, Scotland, by Manor Mobile on 6 November 1988 except "I Want Out" recorded in Manchester Apollo, England, 7 November 1988.
This is Helloween's only official live album with drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg, and the only one recorded with vocalist Michael Kiske and guitarist Kai Hansen (who had left the band a few months earlier), until the release of United Alive in Madrid in 2019.
For the first time, the "o" in the "Helloween" logo was not represented by a pumpkin. On I Want Out - Live, it was represented by a globe showing portions of Western Europe, Central Europe, and the British Isles. On Live in the U.K. it is instead drawn as a pumpkin logo on a bass drum.
