Editing Live/Dead (section)

==Release==
The album was a financial success for the band in the eyes of their label, Warner Bros. Keyboardist [[Tom Constanten]] commented that "Warner Bros. had pointed out that they had sunk $100,000-plus (about $820,000-plus adjusted for 2023) into ''Aoxomoxoa'' ... so someone had the idea that if we sent them a double live album, three discs for the price of one wouldn't be such a bad deal."<ref name="multiple"/> It was the final album with Constanten, who left the band in January 1970.

A six-and-a-half-minute edit of "Turn On Your Lovelight" was issued first on the [[Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders]] album ''The Big Ball'' in 1970, and later on ''[[Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead]]''. A two-and-a-half minute edit of "Dark Star" was released on the soundtrack album for ''[[Zabriskie Point (film)|Zabriskie Point]]'', an [[Michelangelo Antonioni|Antonioni]] film for which Garcia created additional music. The album's version of "St. Stephen" appears on the 1977 Grateful Dead compilation ''[[What a Long Strange Trip It's Been]]'', but fades out during the final verse.

''Live/Dead'' was expanded with hidden bonus tracks as part of the 2001 box set ''[[The Golden Road (1965–1973)]]'', and has a longer intro on "Dark Star". This version was released separately in 2003.
