Live/Dead is the first official live album released by the San Francisco-based band Grateful Dead. It was recorded over a series of live concerts in early 1969 and released later in the year on November 10. At the time of its release, Robert Christgau wrote that side two of the double album "contains the finest rock improvisation ever recorded." It was the final album with keyboardist Tom Constanten. In 2003, the album was ranked number 244 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
