"Satan Live" is a song by English electronic music duo Orbital. It contains various live recordings made by the group in 1996. "Satan Live" is one of Orbital's biggest hits, with the CD version reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart (their highest position on that chart alongside "The Saint") while the vinyl version, which overran the time limit for the singles chart, reached number 48 on the UK Albums Chart. In Ireland, the live version peaked at number seven.

Original version

The original studio version of "Satan" was included on the III EP in 1990 and on the US version of the album Orbital. Issued as a single on 7 January 1990, the original version peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Evil Santa"

In December 1996, the promotional triple CD box set was called "Evil Santa", an anagram of Satan Live. All three releases in the series came in a standard CD-single jewel case. Each had a 6 on the inlay spine so the three together form the number "666".
