You Had to Be There: Recorded Live is a live double album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was initially released in October 1978 as ABC AK-1008/2 and later re-released on ABC's successor label MCA. It is the first of Buffett's many live albums and his tenth album overall.

The album's material was culled from several concerts at Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia and Maurice Gusman Cultural Center in Miami, Florida in August 1978 and was remixed by Elliot Scheiner at AIR Studios in London.

The album featured many of Buffett's concert favorites as well as three new songs that have not appeared on any other Buffett album: "Perrier Blues," "Morris' Nightmare," and the instrumental "Dixie Diner" (a cover originally by Larry Raspberry & the Highsteppers) The album was heavily edited between shows, making the playlist out of order of the actual show. Songs known to have been played but deleted from the final cut are:

Banana Republics - Cheeseburger in Paradise - Coast of Marseilles - The Last Line - Livingston Saturday Night - Mañana

"Cheeseburger in Paradise" is the only popular song deleted from the album, which is very strange because the song was at its peak in popularity at the time of its release. The reason the song was scrapped from the album is unknown, although one theory is that since it was a current charting single, producer Norbert Putnam did not want to have two competing versions of the same song newly in circulation at the same time. The song did appear as a bonus track on the first cd pressing of the album, however it is absent from subsequent pressings.

Tampico Trauma
By Jimmy Buffett
From the 1977 album Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

Lyrics:

I must look a mess I must admit
But I have been traveling quite a bit
South of the border where the law and order
Is kept by Federales who just grin
And tell you they just want to be your friend
They tell you they just want to be your friend
I left for Tampico last July
I jumped off that boat I almost died

There to greet us were pretty senioritas
I swore that I would not go home them
All those lovely ladies were my friends
All those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend
Como esta, Senorita?

That is all I really want to say
I was thrown out of the country yesterday
You see I was drinkin' doubles
Causin' lots of trouble
When the man looked in the window of the bar and he grinned
And said if you come back we just may not be your friend
I don't want to see you around here again
You come back next time we may not pretend
Hi Dee Ho Boys!
