Do or Die: Diary 1982 is a live album by Nico, released in November 1982. The album chronicles her European tour from January 18 to March 28, 1982. It features songs from Nico's albums The Marble Index, Desertshore, The End... and Drama of Exile, which include covers of the Velvet Underground, David Bowie and the Doors.
It was originally released on cassette in November 1982 by 1/2 Records under the title 1982 Diary (as a matched set with the cassette En Personne En Europe – later reissued on CD as Femme Fatale by Jungle Records) and later reissued under a handful of different titles, including Nico Sings the Void. It was released on compact disc by Danceteria in 1987 under the title Do or Die (using the ROIR reissue title) and later reissued by ROIR US with a different cover on March 30, 2000.




Reception



AllMusic called Do or Die one of the "finest" documents of a Nico live concert, noting that the songs "are drawn from almost every phase of her career, essentially lining up as the definitive 'greatest hits' album Nico is still awaiting."
