Live At The Galaxy 1967 is an unofficial Iron Butterfly live album released May 27, 2014. It records a July 4, 1967 show at the Galaxy Theater in Los Angeles, captured with an audience microphone. The set features the original lineup playing early singles and tracks from Heavy, which would be released in January 1968. It was issued as a digital download, a digipak CD, and a deluxe colored 180-gram vinyl LP by Purple Pyramids Records and Cleopatra Records. Song credits go to Doug Ingle unless noted.

Liner notes are by Dave Thompson. Fred Thomas of AllMusic called the release grainy and showing the band in its earliest, rough form, with spirited jamming and heavy organ riffs. The "Iron Butterfly theme" is highlighted as a high point, and the audio quality is on par with other obscure audience-recorded psych artifacts from the era.
