U ime naroda (trans. In the Name of the People) is the first live album by the influential Serbia/former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba. The album was recorded on the band's concert held on April 11, 1982 in Pionir Hall in Belgrade.
The album title alludes to the censorship the band's leader Bora Đorđević fought at the time of album release.
U ime naroda sold more than 160,000 copies, becoming the best-selling live album in the history of Yugoslav rock music.
Legacy
