'''''Live Undead''''' is the first live album by American [[thrash metal]] band [[Slayer]]. It was released through [[Metal Blade Records]] and recorded in [[New York City]] in front of a room of people. It has been questioned by both critics and authors that the audience sound may or may not be faked. However, in 1984, WBAB Fingers Metal Shop, a radio station, held a contest to meet and hang out with Slayer during a live recording. The album was recorded at Tiki Recording Studios in Glen Cove, NY in front of around a dozen people. The album was originally intended to be recorded in front of a live audience, but things went wrong. Nevertheless, when asked if they were fake, [[record producer|producer]] [[Bill Metoyer]] said, "I don't know if I should tell you."<ref name="McIver 2010, p. 46"/> The album begins with an extended introduction of "Black Magic", followed by a small speech. The remaining tracks include both those of 1983's ''[[Show No Mercy (Slayer album)|Show No Mercy]]'' and 1984's ''[[Haunting the Chapel]]''.
