Live at Shepherds Bush Empire is a live DVD by folk band Bellowhead, recorded in 2007 on the Burlesque tour and released in 2009.
Recorded on tour for their first album, the performance largely consists of renditions from that debut, but also includes a few rarer tunes from the band's discography like "Haul Away" and an early look at "The Spectre Review" from their sophomore release. The video features all but one of the songs they played at the Shepherds Bush, "One May Morning Early."
The DVD features Bellowhead's tour diary as well as Bellowhead talking about themselves and the formation of the band.
