Revisions to How do I combine a background-image and CSS3 gradient on the same element?

background-image replaced with background since background-image property doesn't include background-position or background-repeat

If you also want to set background position for your image, than you can use this:

background-color: #444; // fallback
background-image: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat; // fallback

background: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat, -moz-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // FF 3.6+
background: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat, -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(@startColor), to(@endColor)); // Safari 4+, Chrome 2+
background: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat, -webkit-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // Safari 5.1+, Chrome 10+
background: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat, -o-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // Opera 11.10
background: url('PATH-TO-IMG') center center no-repeat, linear-gradient(to bottom, @startColor, @endColor); // Standard, IE10

or you can also create a LESS mixin (bootstrap style):

#gradient {
    .vertical-with-image(@startColor: #555, @endColor: #333, @image) {
        background-color: mix(@startColor, @endColor, 60%); // fallback
        background-image: @image; // fallback
        
        background: @image, -moz-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // FF 3.6+
        background: @image, -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(@startColor), to(@endColor)); // Safari 4+, Chrome 2+
        background: @image, -webkit-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // Safari 5.1+, Chrome 10+
        background: @image, -o-linear-gradient(top, @startColor, @endColor); // Opera 11.10
        background: @image, linear-gradient(to bottom, @startColor, @endColor); // Standard, IE10
    }
}
