220 Volt Live is the forty-eighth release and seventh live album by Tangerine Dream. It was recorded live in the US in 1992. It would be the last live album to feature new compositions until Inferno (2002). This may be considered some of the band's most rock oriented music so far, with guitarist Zlatko Perica's playing being a more prominent element. Re-issued in 1999 and then again in 2009 on Membran.[2] It was nominated for Best New Age Album at the 1994 Grammy Awards.
