In Person at Carnegie Hall was the seminal Irish folk group The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem's most successful album.

Two songs on the album, "The Juice of the Barley" and "Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile," were recorded during their previous Carnegie Hall concert from 3 November 1962.

In 2009, the Legacy Edition was released, which contained the complete recording of the concert including banter and song introductions.

In January 1966, almost two and a half years after the album's release, Columbia selected the recording as one of their "best catalog sellers...that every dealer should carry.

In Person at Carnegie Hall spent twelve weeks on Billboard Magazine's list of the top 150 full-length albums of all genres released in the United States.
