Live Box is a set of 4 CDs, a DVD and a 32-page booklet by Icelandic singer/songwriter/musician Björk, released in August 2003. Each CD roughly corresponds to one album in her (at the time of release) four album solo discography.

"Play Dead", "There's More to Life Than This", "Cover Me", "Heirloom", "Sun in My Mouth" and "Alarm Call" are missing from this collection. "One Day", "Come to Me", "Possibly Maybe", "I Go Humble", "Human Behaviour" and "Big Time Sensuality" appear twice while "Anchor Song" is featured three times.

[edit] Track listing

[edit] CD one - Debut Live

1. "Human Behaviour"
2. "One Day"
3. "Venus as a Boy"
4. "Come To Me"
5. "Big Time Sensuality"
6. "Aeroplane"
7. "Like Someone in Love"
8. "Crying"
9. "Anchor Song"
10. "Violently Happy"

Notes

1. The original versions of all of the tracks can be found on Debut. Two songs from Debut are missing: "There's More To Life Than This" and "Play Dead", although "Play Dead" is strictly speaking not on Debut, but is included as a bonus track. Indeed, neither of the two songs were performed on the MTV Unplugged performance from which this disc takes most of its material, but the latter was performed on the Debut Tour after its single release.
2. All songs except "Venus as a Boy" are from MTV Unplugged in 1994. The original broadcast (and subsequent bootlegs) of the MTV concert featured "Venus as a Boy", so it is unclear why that version could not be included here.
