PLAYS LIVE is the first live and fifth album overall released by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel; it was his first solo album to not be titled simply, Peter Gabriel. This album was originally released as a double album and longplay cassette in 1983, with sixteen songs. It was re-released in 1985, as a single CD version called Plays Live (Highlights) with only twelve songs, some of which are edited from their full-length versions, so that the album could fit on a single CD. It was eventually re-released in its entirety as a double CD set in 1987. In 2002, a remastered version of the Highlights version was re-released. In 2019, the complete double-LP version of the album was released on music streaming platforms for the first time.

"Plays Live" concerts were recorded at:
******************************************************
*** Braden Auditorium, Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois, 3 December 1982
*** Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, 4 December 1982
Chick Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois, 6 December 1982
*** SIU Arena, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, 7 December 1982

Liner notes by "the producers" admit, "Although this album was compiled from four concerts in the mid-West of the United States, some additional recording took place not a thousand miles away from the home of the artist. The generic term of this process is 'cheating'. Care has been taken to keep the essence of the gigs intact, including 'human imperfection'."

The album's previously unreleased "I Go Swimming" received airplay and made the US charts in 1983. The song was initially recorded for Gabriel's third album and was performed on his 1980 tour.
