Livealbum of Death is the first live album by Farin Urlaub, incorporating his live-band Farin Urlaub Racing Team (FURT). At the same time it's the third album of Urlaub. It was released on 3 February 2006 as a CD- and a vinyl-edition, the latter consisting of six 7" discs. Each of the twelve sides of the vinyl-edition was named after one FURT-Member. The CD-edition utilized a new technology that enabled it to contain more than 85 minutes of music.

It contains recordings of live shows at Leipzig (30 May), Dresden (1 June), Berlin (2 June), Hamburg (20 and 21 June) and Bremen (22 June).

The single "Zehn" (Ten) was released on 13 January 2006. This song is only performed live and was therefore never released on any studio albums. The video for the song was already aired on 14 December 2005.

The title

The title "Livealbum of Death" was invented by a fan during the FURT-Tour Sonnenblumen (Sunflowers) of Death, referring to the title of that tour and posted by him on the fan page dieaerzte.at. Urlaub and his Management were amazed by the suggestion and asked for allowance to use it. Then fan granted them to use it and in exchange was mentioned in the booklet of the album.
