The album artwork was prepared by Andy Warhol. The hand-drawn titles across the front were added by Mick Jagger, to Warhol's dismay. Here´s I bring yoy the original concept that Andy had for the album."Love you live" had three covers. The oficial. The black-and-white promo with polaroid photos made by Andy Warhol, rejected for regular edition, as it looked a lot like "Exile on Main St." and the discarded one, shown here.
"Love You Live" was the final álbum where Keith Ricrahds name would be spelled as "Richard". He returned to spelling his surname "Richards" beginning with 1978´s "Some Girls".
The lp was dedicated to the memory of audio engineer Keith Harwood, who died in a drug-induced car accident shortly before the album's release. It was The Rolling Stones' final album whereby Rolling Stones Records would be internationally distributed by Warner Music. The band's next several albums would be distributed through EMI worldwide, while they remained with Warner in North America only. It managed to reach No. 3 in the UK and No. 5 in the US, where it went gold.
