The Greatest Live Show on Earth is an album by rock and roll performer Jerry Lee Lewis with his "Memphis Beats" touring band. It was released on Smash Records in 1964.
The album was recorded during several performances at Municipal Auditorium. Producer Shelby Singleton was motivated to assemble a live album when legal complications prevented Smash from distributing Lewis' "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg" in the United States. He set up microphones all over the stage and captured each song in a single live take.
