"'Satan Live'" is a song by English electronic music duo Orbital. It contains various live recordings made by the group in 1996. "Satan Live" is one of Orbital's biggest hits, with the CD version reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart (their highest position on that chart alongside "The Saint") while the vinyl version, which overran the time limit for the singles chart, reached number 48 on the UK Albums Chart. In Ireland, the live version peaked at number seven.
Original version
The original studio version of "Satan" was included on the 'III EP' in 1990 and on the US version of the album 'Orbital'. Issued as a single on 7 January 1990, the original version peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.
"Evil Santa"
In December 1996, the promotional triple CD box set was called "Evil Santa", an anagram of Satan Live.[http://rarethings.today-shoppinggb.org.uk/Products/product/Orbital-Evil-Santa-1996-UK-3-CD-set-ORBCD3.html Rarethings.com Orbital-Evil Santa] All three releases in the series came in a standard CD-single jewel case. Each had a 6 on the inlay spine so the three together form the number "666".[https://www.discogs.com/Orbital-Satan-Live/release/874 Orbital-Satan Live (CD) - Discogs.com]
