''Atlanta'' is a download only double-live album by United Kingdom, British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree recorded at the Roxy Theatre (Atlanta), Roxy Theatre, Atlanta, United States on 29 October 2007. The show recording was initially intended for a prospective Porcupine Tree live album, but this decision was later turned down as development of the ''Anesthetize (video), Anesthetize'' DVD project began. In the wake of the news regarding Mick Karn's advanced-stage cancer, the band decided to put it out as a downloadable item from the Burning Shed online store at a very cheap cost, as a .RAR file split in two parts, all in MP3 format at 320 kbit/s with completely printable artwork designed by Carl Glover. The profits from the ''Atlanta'' downloads are intended to help Mick pay for his treatment. A 44.1 kHz/24-bit Free Lossless Audio Codec, FLAC version was released in August 2010; profits from this version go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Since the album's artwork and mix is set up for two CDs it is widely considered to be a double album. The album has a somewhat similar track listing to the ''Anesthetize'' DVD but includes the first official live recording of the track "A Smart Kid" and some of the songs that were performed at the shows for the Anesthetize shoot, but left out as they were already available on previous live releases (Open Car and Blackest Eyes).
