Bob Moog Live is the only known recording of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog publicly performing on his famous Minimoog, the best selling analog synthesizer of all time, and is available exclusively from the Bob Moog Foundation.

The Bob Moog Live recording took place on November 23, 1980, at the Asheville Art Museum, and captured a performance by Moog, Abbott & Lewis. Lewis and Abbott performed with Moog twice in Asheville in the summer and fall of 1980. The CD features the latter performance of the two along with sterling rehearsal sessions. Bob can also be heard talking about the music. 

Lewis and Abbott composed all the music on the CD. Lewis, who preserved the recordings for the last 30 years, brought this project to the forefront. He produced the album to highlight a historic event and to create a fundraising mechanism for the Bob Moog Foundation. The CD, described as electronic neoclassical music, features excerpts from Moog, Abbott & Lewis's live concert tape. Subtitled “The Gig Tape,” it was originally recorded on 1/4-inch analog tape, thanks to Mike Abbott's forethought.
