34 Years Ago: BLACK FLAG, RATTUS, HAGAR THE WOMB live in Leeds

An all-day punk festival at The Bierkeller, Leeds on this day in 1984. It proved tough to find much information about this concert, headlined by BLACK FLAG, but some excellent footage has survived.

The complete BLACK FLAG set is available and one of their best. Just a few weeks before they recorded Slip It In.
Lineup: Greg Ginn, Kira Roessler, Bill Stevenson and Henry Rollins.

Rattus, Bierkeller, Leeds, 19 May 1984
Stagnant Era, Bierkeller, Leeds, 19 May 1984

These last two are, I think, from the same night. The great HAGAR THE WOMB and Devon's CULT MANIAX. The clips were filmed at the Bierkeller in 84, the background looks a little different but both did play at the all-dayer, and spot the BLACK FLAG road cases.
