The artwork found on the front and back of the album features the band , including manager Bruce Cohn , dressed in 19th century western garments and riding a horse-drawn stagecoach beneath an unfinished modern freeway overpass . " All that stuff came from the Warner Bros. film studios lot , " Tom Johnston said . " It must 've been a lot of work for the guys who brought up the horse team and the carriage and the clothes . It was fun to do - they had coffins out there , all kinds of crazy stuff . " The photography was done by Michael and Jill Maggid . The setting for the cover was located at the Newhall Pass interchange of the Interstate 5 and California State Route 14 freeways near Sylmar , California that collapsed during the 1971 San Fernando earthquake . This same section of freeway would collapse again during the 1994 Northridge earthquake
