"Live At Topanga Corral" is a 1971 live album by Canned Heat. The album is taken from a 1969 concert at the Kaleidoscope in Hollywood, California and not at the Topanga Corral as the title suggests. Canned Heat was under contract to Liberty Records at the time and Liberty did not want to do a live album, so manager Skip Taylor told Liberty that the album had been recorded in 1966 & 1967 at the Topanga Corral and released the record with Wand Records to avoid legal complications [Fito De La Parra, "Living The Blues. Canned Heat's story of Music, Drugs, Death, Sex and Survival", 2000, p.354. ISBN 0-9676449-0-9] . The record has been bootlegged and reissued countless times, and is also known as "Live at the Kaleidoscope".
