The Sun Live

The Sun Live is a live album by Brothers of the Sun. Released in March 2012, it was the band's first live album, second album-length release and third release, and their only release during the time Ryan LaFetta was in the band.

The Sun Live was recorded during a performance in Westpoint in the Southern Arc Islands (a city known for its high Caribbean population) on 17 January 2012. This performance was part of the band's tour of the Caribbean and eastern North America, which lasted from July 2011 to early 2012.

Two of the tracks on the album are covers of songs from Bob Marley & The Wailers, and one from Bobby McFerrin.

Track listing
The Westpoint concert also featured a performance of "Barbados Blues" lasting 5:50 between "Bermuda Groove" and "Give Me Your Love", but this was edited out for (the initial release of) The Sun Live because of the length constraints of the CD format. Later digital releases do include this track as a bonus track.
