Songs from the Small Machine: Live in L.A at Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA / 2011 → Songs from the Small Machine: Live in L.A. – This name reflects the title found on the album art.

Comment The cover art is irrelevant; we title articles based on reliable secondary source usage. The article as it reads today cites few such sources. This quotes the press release from the record label, and indeed uses the title Songs From The Small Machine: Live In L.A. What do secondary sources use? 162 etc. (talk) 16:51, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AllMusic uses the truncated title of Songs from the Small Machine: Live in L.A.. [1]. This is also the title included on Spotify. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 21:55, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. These are not particularly reliable sources, but I don't see anything to support the current title either. 162 etc. (talk) 16:27, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Why not just Songs from the Small Machine? Subtitles are a form of WP:NATURALDIS. Unless of course it can be shown the subtitle is part of the WP:COMMONNAME. However, as alluded to above, there is not much to speak of when it comes to reliable, published sources for this topic. Even the notes of the release name it "Songs From The Small Machine" in mention. There is nothing to disambiguate this title from. Οἶδα (talk) 03:56, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
