Live 1984 is a live album by Irish rock band Grand Slam, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music), but recorded in 1984 (see 1984 in music).

The first disc of this double-disc album is a collection of live recordings from Grand Slam's first three concerts, recorded from the 30th March to the 1st April in various Irish locations, including Galway and Castlebar. Indeed, Lynott explains at the end of 'Yellow Pearl' that the reason for the number of covers they performed was because "this is only the second gig", meaning the band had not had the chance to write enough of their own material. The second disc is a 'Video CD' recording of their set at the Nostell Priory Festival in Wakefield on the 27th August 1984.
