}}{{italic title|all=yes|noerror}}The Epic Collection (Recorded Live) is a live album by Merle Haggard backed by The Strangers released on Epic Records in November 1983.[1]

The title is misleading as Haggard had only been with Epic for two years in 1983, so the recording leans heavily on his Capitol-era hits. The album peaked at number 28 on the Billboard country albums chart.{{cn|date=February 2015}}

Critical reception

{{Album ratings

}}AllMusic critic Steven Thomas Erlewine stated in his review: "The atmosphere is mellow, with Haggard favoring late-night ballads—both broken-hearted and romantic—and adopting a nicely weathered saloon crooner stance. This doesn't make for the liveliest record, but it's a nice, unassuming portrait of a master at middle age playing his way through just another date."[2]
