Live by Request: Johnny Mathis is a live television concert by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that aired on May 28, 1998, on the A&E Network as part of its Live by Request series. According to the television industry magazine Broadcasting & Cable, the network "recorded its best ratings ever--a 2.3 rating/1.6 million homes according to Nielsen Media Research"[1]—for the broadcast.

The set included "Why Did I Choose You", a song from the 1965 Broadway musical version of The Yearling[2] that has never appeared on a Mathis album. Another rarity in the show is "Brazil (Aquarela do Brasil)", which made its first appearance as a Mathis recording on his Ultimate Hits Collection compilation that was released just five weeks earlier, on April 21.

The concert was released on DVD on December 18, 2001.[3]
