Live: Sacred and Profane is a live album from American new wave band Berlin, released in 2000 by Time Bomb Recordings. The band's first live album, it features twelve live tracks and three new studio tracks.[2] The live tracks were recorded at the Coach House, San Juan Capistrano, California on December 4, 1999.[3]
Upon release, Ben Varkentine of PopMatters said: "If you like these songs you're better off seeking out a greatest hits collection; as the new, increased guitar arrangements don't add anything particularly memorable to the old songs." Doug Stone of AllMusic commented that the album "holds more guts than expected considering the vast keyboard capacity of Terri Nunn's vehicle" and the "melodies remain sharp, haunting, and hot". He concluded: "Live: Sacred and Profane is a surprise treat from an unlikely concert attraction."[1]
