The album Live 84 (often released under titles like Live in Chicago 1984 or simply Live 84) captures Black Uhuru during their final major tour with the "classic" lineup featuring lead singer Michael Rose.

• Derrick "Duckie" Simpson: Harmony Vocals




• The Rhythm Section (Sly & Robbie):

Album Context & Tracking
Originally released in the year 2000 (via labels like Tabou 1), the album is renowned for its high-fidelity sound, often sourced from a radio broadcast. It features many tracks from their Grammy-winning album Anthem (1984), including: 

1. Shine Eye Gal


2. Solidarity


3. What Is Life?


4. Sponji Reggae


5. Sinsemilla 

The energy of this recording is particularly high because it was recorded shortly before Michael Rose left the group to pursue a solo career, making it the final "gold standard" live document of this specific lineup.
