  We've Got a Live One Here! is an album by American rock band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.

The group's second live album, and seventh album overall, it reached #170 on the Billboard 200 sales chart.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  On AllMusic, Jana Pendragon wrote, "Always extraordinary, the era of Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen was a special moment in time that created a place for hipsters, cosmic cowboys, rednecks, and the working class to all come together and enjoy some real American music. Never will there be another band like this one or recordings like the ones they made between 1971 and 1976"
  
  In All About Jazz, C. Michael Bailey said, "The music they played was plainly Western swing – a musically alchemic concoction made up of equal parts country, western, blues, big band jazz, whiskey and reefer.... Like many other "American roots" musics, Western swing enjoyed a renewed interest in the 1970s and there were no better providers than Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen."
  
  When the album was released, Cash Box magazine wrote, "Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen were pioneers of progressive country. This package reflects the depth of understanding and the group's interpretation of the sound that has become the "in" thing."
