Live at the Sex Machine is the first live album released by the funk band Kool and the Gang.

Not only was it a Top 10 album, it stayed on the chart for 33 weeks; an impressive time span compared to most albums of the era.

Although the band's huge success would not come until a few albums later, this release was popular with the R&B market.

The track "Funky Man" was sampled in "Smack My Bitch Up" by the Prodigy.
