"Greatest Hits/Live" is a compilation album released in 1980 by the hard rock band Heart. The album was a collection of the band's most famous songs, along with two new singles; "Tell It Like It Is", and a cover of "Unchained Melody". Despite being a single, "Unchained Melody", was left off the compact disc version of the album due to CD limitations. Similarly, the original vinyl version also contained two more cuts, "Hit Single," a giddy and sometimes maniacal hodgepodge of voices (Ann, Nancy, and others) and sounds that seemed to be culled from recording studio outtakes, followed by an even giddier but non-typical Heart dance number entitled "Strange Euphoria" (named after the group's publishing company). The album was a success, reaching double platinum and staying on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart for 25 weeks.
