The Judds in Concert is the first live album by American country duo, The Judds. It was released on August 29, 1995 via Curb Records and RCA Nashville. It was produced by Steve Lindsey.

The album was one of several released during the 1990s following the duo's departure in 1991.

Background, release and reception[]

The Judds had their biggest commercial success in the 1980s. They had multiple number one singles and top ten hits before disbanding in 1991. Their final studio album was released in 1990 entitled Love Can Build a Bridge.[2] The Judds in Concert was their first album offering (with the exception of compilations) since their departure. The album had been recorded in 1985 during a major concert tour but had not been released to the public until this point. The album was produced by Steve Lindsey.[3]

The album consisted of a total of 12 tracks. [4] Eleven of the album's tracks were previously recorded by the duo. This included the hits "Had a Dream (For the Heart)," "Why Not Me," "Mama He's Crazy," "Girls' Night Out" and "Love Is Alive." The twelfth track, "Don't You Hear Jerusalem Moan," was not previously recorded by the duo.[3]

The Judds in Concert was released on August 29, 1995 via Curb and RCA Records. It was the duo's first live release.[3] The Judds would later release a second live album in 2000 after embarking on a reunion tour.[2] The album was issued as a compact disc by Curb and RCA.[4] The album did not reach any peak positions on national publication charts, notably Billboard. It also did not spawn any singles to radio.[5] In later years, the album received a rating from Allmusic, which only gave it two out of five stars.[1]
