Live at the Y.M.C.A 27-10-79 is a live album by industrial/post-punk band Cabaret Voltaire, recorded in 1979 and originally released in 1980 by Rough Trade.

Wilson Neate in AllMusic said, "Although this album isn't easy listening -- and of course it wasn't intended to be -- it documents Cabaret Voltaire's role as electro-industrial pioneers.

[1] Marc Ross at Trouser Press asserted that Live at the YMCA was more accessible than their debut album Mix-Up, going on to say: "There are strong intelligences at work here.

What's fascinating is that live they maintain the style and imagination displayed in the studio... and absorb ambient sounds (audience, hall) into their music.

"[12] All songs written by Cabaret Voltaire except for "No Escape", by Sky Saxon and "Here She Comes Now", by Lou Reed.
