"The Survivors Live" is a live album by country musicians Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music) on Columbia Records. It was recorded on April 23, 1981 in Stuttgart, West Germany, when all three singers, who had been labelmates at Sun Records at the beginning of their careers, were touring Europe. The show had initially been meant to feature only Cash, but Lewis and Perkins joined him onstage on a night when they did not have a concert scheduled themselves. The three performed a number of songs they were known for - including Cash's "Get Rhythm" and Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" - as well as slightly more obscure compositions.
