  The High Road is the second live album by the English rock band Roxy Music. Recorded at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 September 1982 during the band's Avalon tour, it features four tracks. Two of the songs are covers, including Roxy Music's no.1 hit version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy", and Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane". A Bryan Ferry solo effort "Can't Let Go" was also included, originally released on his 1978 album The Bride Stripped Bare, with the remaining track being a version of "My Only Love" from Flesh + Blood, with an extended instrumental section. The album reached number 26 on the UK Album Charts. and did even better in Canada, reaching #5 in May 1983.
  
  Despite sharing the same title, there are no recordings on this album in common with the High Road videocassette/DVD, which was recorded in Fréjus, France on 27 August 1982. In 1990, the four songs from the album appeared on the band's third live album release Heart Still Beating, mixed with the rest of the songs from the Fréjus concert.
