"The Main Event – Live" is a 1974 (see 1974 in music) live album and television special by Frank Sinatra.

Sinatra embarked on a six-concert tour in 1974, working with Woody Herman & the Young Thundering Herd, which was conducted by Bill Miller, Sinatra's longtime pianist.

Dubbed "The Main Event", the tour culminated with a televised concert from Madison Square Garden on October 13, 1974. Sinatra is modestly introduced by Howard Cosell, who describes him as "the most enduring champion of them all - coming live to the entire Western hemisphere."

Subtitled "Live From Madison Square Garden", this album isn't an exact document of the concert. Instead, it's a compilation taken from various shows on "The Main Event" tour; on two songs, "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "Let Me Try Again", two performances are spliced together.
