Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium is the final album released by the band Rage Against the Machine, on November 25, 2003. It is a recording of the final two shows Rage played at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles on September 12th and 13th, 2000. The album was originally planned to be released in November 2000, but was delayed due to the break-up of the band shortly after the September concerts. It was then slated for release a year later, but was again delayed due to the formation of Audioslave by the remaining three members of Rage (Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk) with vocalist Chris Cornell (formerly of Soundgarden). The album was finally released amid mixed reviews in November 2003. Despite some criticism that it does not do Rage the justice they deserve, it remains a reminiscant portrait of one of the most important bands of the 1990s in its twilight.
