Live: Entertainment or Death is the first official live album by American
heavy metal band
Mötley Crüe. Released on November 23, 1999, it is a compilation of recordings from 1982 to 1999. However, it contains no songs from the band's
self-titled 1994 album, nor 1997's Generation Swine. "We picked the stuff that sounded the best without having to
touch it up,"
Nikki Sixx observed in 2000. "We still play some of those songs [from Generation Swine in the set; they just didn't make the final tracklisting."[5]
In a review of the album at the time of its release, hard rock/heavy metal website Metal Sludge revealed that vocals on a small percentage of the tracks had been "redone" or "touched up" in the studio, calling into question how much of the record was a genuine live document. The website provided dates and suggested that side-by-side audio comparisons to
bootlegs from shows from which the tracks for the album were culled form the basis for their claim. Mötley Crüe remained silent on the issue.[7]
