I don't know if one mic in line-in and one in mic-in will work... can both
of those can be active at the same time and still keep them separate when
recording them?  A pre-amp for the mic on line-in will be needed.  And
line-in is stereo, the mic output will be mono (although some pre-amps
output stereo), keep that in mind when buying connectors, you need stereo
connector to line-in but it will probably only carry the left channel
(mono).

The following will work but costs a litle money.  The idea is to run two
mics down to a single stereo connector to line-in, where one mic is on left
channel and one mic is on right channel.  Then you can record from line-in
and get both mics.  Many multi-track recorders can do one step further and
split that stereo track into two mono tracks upon input, giving you the
option of manipulating each input separately...  the options go on and on.

Anyway, there are lots of ways to get two mics to become the L+R channels of
a stereo input.  You will need pre-amps for the mics.  If you use a pre-amp
that accepts two mics and will output them to a single stereo output you're
all done, just plug it into the Live with a stereo connector.  But these
pre-amps are not very cheap.  You can get creative and use two single
pre-amps that output in mono, then use connectors and cabling to combine
them into that final L+R stereo connector for your Live.  This is what I
have done and it works well.
HTH and good luck!
