Extraterrestrial Live is the American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult's third live album, released in 1982. It primarily documents their 1981 tour in support of Fire of Unknown Origin, but also includes two tracks recorded in 1980, during the Black and Blue tour with Black Sabbath. Midway through the 1981 tour, the band fired drummer and founding member Albert Bouchard, replacing him with roadie Rick Downey.
