Anita Live! was a concert tour by American recording artist Anita Baker. After taking an eight-year hiatus from touring to spend more time with her family, in 2002 Baker decided to perform again. Baker performed seven dates in December, which eventually led to a two-year outing in North America, from 2003 to 2004.
