Live at the Britt Festival

Live at the Britt Festival is a live album by Michael Nesmith, released in 1999. It was recorded live at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon, on June 19, 1992. To prepare for the concert, Nesmith conducted a limited U.S. tour which featured a similar set list as the Britt Festival.

The performance was Nesmith's last with longtime collaborator and pedal steel guitarist Red Rhodes, who died on August 20, 1995.

The album features Nesmith singing a Monkees song, "Papa Gene's Blues" (originally from the album The Monkees, a rare occurrence from Nesmith as a solo artist).
