Live in Los Angeles is a promotional live album by Paul McCartney recorded during a secret performance on 27 June 2007 at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, California.[1] The album was released only in the United Kingdom and Ireland through a special promotion run by The Mail on Sunday and the Irish Sunday Mail.[2]

Four of the album's twelve tracks (2, 4, 5, and 12) were previously released on McCartney's 2007 EP, Amoeba's Secret, while track 3 was previously released as b-side to "Ever Present Past" single.

On 16 November 2012, the Paul McCartney website released an extended version of the Amoeba show titled Live in Los Angeles – The Extended Set free to "premium" members of the website, adding the songs "Nod Your Head" and "House of Wax" to the tracklisting, the latter also being a b-side to "Ever Present Past" single.[3]

All the tracks from the album later appeared on the 2019 live album Amoeba Gig in a remixed form.[4]
