Editing Live/Dead (section)

==Title and packaging==
The title has a double meaning. It refers both to the band (the "Dead") playing live, and is an [[oxymoron]], contrasting the two words in apparent contradiction. The artwork, created by Robert Donovan Thomas (aka Bob Thomas), also illustrated this juxtaposition. The word "Live" is seen on the front cover, and the word "Dead" fills the back cover of the [[gatefold]]. Additionally,  on the back cover, the top portion of "Dead" somewhat cryptically spells out "Acid".

The original Warner Bros. LP [#2WS 1830] included an 8.5" × 11" bi-fold insert with [[Celts|Celtic]] symbols and lyrics for "Saint Stephen", "The Eleven", and "Dark Star". The tracks are presented as one continuous concert. As such, vinyl copies are pressed with [[Record changer#Automatic sequencing|automatic sequencing]], for stacking on a record changer (Record One containing sides 1 & 4 and Record Two containing sides 2 & 3). CD versions present the track segues without interruption.
