Live: New York City 1982 is a live album by the David Bromberg Quartet. It was recorded in New York City in 1982 and released on July 14, 2008 by Appleseed Recordings.

The group features David Bromberg with Gene Johnson, Jeff Wisor, and Butch Amiot. They play bluegrass and folk using acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and bass guitar. Most of the songs are covers, with one original track, “The New Lee Highway Blues.”

Critics praised the album for its high-level instrumental playing and energetic performances. Bromberg’s playing and the group’s tight interaction are highlights, while his singing is described as less strong but fitting the down‑home feel. The recording was remastered for clearer sound, capturing the lively, soulful feel of the night. Overall, it’s seen as a strong, enjoyable live document of Bromberg’s string-band style.
