Live on Tour is a Live album by American singer Bobby Vee, and was released in March 1965 by Liberty Records.[1]
According to Robert Reynolds, in The Music of Bobby Vee, Bobby was disappointed with, the faux live album."[2][self-published source] Although there are some nice tracks, the “canned” applause does not work well—as is the case with most fake “live” albums, regardless of whom the artist is."[2][self-published source] but he believe this offering would have worked better by pushing more of his own originals."[3][self-published source]
The album was released on compact disc by Beat Goes On on November 12, 2002, as tracks 13 through 24 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 1 through 12 consisting of Vee's Studio album from April 1964, The New Sound from England!'.[4]

Cashbox stated that the album features "driving rhythm and feelingful interpretation of solid rocking numbers" with "very danceable tunes".[8]
Record Mirror described the album as "a beat groove album"[6]
