Live Wired is a live album by Vancouver industrial band Front Line Assembly, released in 1996, with the majority of tracks coming from the bands previous two studio albums; Millennium and Hard Wired. A box set including the two CDs plus a VHS with all of the band's video clips to date (except "Mindphaser" and "Body Count"), and a live concert video (from the show in Chemnitz 1995, different from the one on CD) was released at the same time.
