Image:Live Dead.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
The article says, "The top part of the word "Dead" on the back cover spells "acid", a slang term for LSD." Recently an anonymous editor added a "citation needed" tag, which I'm about to remove. Here's why. Normally a description of an album cover does not require a citation. For example, if the Blues for Allah article said, "The front cover depicts a skeleton with long white hair, wearing a red robe and red sunglasses and playing a violin", no one would tag it with "citation needed", I hope, because a quick look at the album cover shows that this is true. Well, the back cover of Live/Dead was recently removed from the article -- see Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 August 30#File:LiveDeadBackCover.jpg -- so you can't see it there, but take a look at it here. To me, it's quite obvious that the top part of the word "Dead" spells "acid" -- in black letters, with embedded red skulls and crossbones -- so, a citation should not be required here either. Yes, the lettering is not perfect, but it's quite clear, and keep in mind also that the San Francisco album and poster art of the era often used lettering that was stylized or "psychedelic" looking. As usual other editors are encouraged to post their opinions here. — Mudwater ( Talk) 01:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
>> "Dark Star" and "St. Stephen" pairing was taken from the February 27, 1969 show at the Fillmore West; "The Eleven" and "Turn On Your Lovelight" were from the January 26, 1969 show at the Avalon Ballroom;
This can't be right. St. Stephen and The Eleven are on side two and the former blends right into the latter. The point where Jerry modulates down into the new theme for The Eleven is just plain beautiful and moves me every time. A friend had that sequence played at his funeral.
