This statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) with
respect to securities beneficially owned by the reporting
persons specified herein as of August 23, 1996 and amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D dated February 9, 1996, as amended
on April 25, 1996 and on May 9, 1996 (the "Schedule 13D").
Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is hereby restated
in its entirety.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction
Elliott Associates, L.P. ("Elliott") has acquired the
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred
Stock") of LIVE Entertainment Inc. (the "Issuer" or "LIVE")
beneficially owned by it in the ordinary course of its trade or
business of purchasing, selling, trading and investing in
securities. Depending upon market conditions and other factors
that it may deem material, Elliott may purchase additional
shares of Preferred Stock or may dispose of all or a portion
of the Preferred Stock that it now owns or may hereafter
acquire.
In connection with the election of directors at the
Issuer's annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on May
2, 1996 (the "Annual Meeting"), Elliott made an exempt limited
solicitation (to ten or fewer persons) of proxies from other
holders of Preferred Stock to vote their shares in favor of
Elliott's nominee at the Annual Meeting and to vote their
shares in favor of Issuer's nominees, other than one. In
response to this exempt solicitation, Elliott received proxies
to vote 1,312,921 shares. At the meeting, a majority of the
holders of Preferred Stock voted in favor of Elliott's slate of
board nominees.
Since the Annual Meeting, LIVE, through its financial
advisors, Carreden Group, Inc. ("Carreden"), has been
soliciting restructuring proposals from holders of the
Preferred Stock. On August 21, 1996, LIVE filed an Issuer
Tender Offer Statement that outlined a potential exchange
offer.
Elliott has had numerous discussions with Carreden on a
structure which Elliott believes would be fair to shareholders.
Elliott does not believe that the structure that has been
outlined in the Issuer Tender Offer Statement is fair to the
holders of the Preferred Stock. Elliott intends to continue
discussions with Carreden to achieve an exchange offer which
Elliott believes is fair to such holders.
Except as set forth herein, Elliott has no plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions
set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge
and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set
forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
