Review

Keeping up with their furious pace came Live '84, a cassette-only release of a standard (for them anyway) Black Flag gig. Opening up with an eight-and-a-half-minute hardcore/punk/jazz instrumental, "The Process of Weeding Out" (which came from an earlier Black Flag instrumental EP of the same title), it was abundantly clear that Black Flag were no longer just another punk band; as much as they loved to kick out the jams, they also loved destroying the audience's preconceived notions of how punk bands were supposed to behave. Running at 70 minutes, this is a terrific live recording of Black Flag at their performing peak. [The album was released on CD in 1998.] ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide

Live '84 is an album released by Black Flag in 1984 on SST Records. It is a live recording of a show played in 1984 and features mostly tracks from My War and Slip It In. The album was recorded at the Stone nightclub in San Francisco, CA. A live video was shot simultaneously and was briefly available through SST; the now-out-of-print video has been widely bootlegged.

The album was originally issued as a cassette-only release, almost simultaneously with Family Man. In 1998, Greg Ginn remixed the album for CD reissue.
