Reality 86'd is the fabled and hard to find documentary of Black Flag's last ever tour which ultimately led to the band's dissolution. Featuring the flag, Painted Willie (Markey's band) and Ginn's new instrumental project Gone. It's weird to watch knowing about the tension between Ginn and Rollins, the fact that one of the greatest bands of all time was on its last legs and that the landscape of hardcore and independent music had changed so drastically around them but still they were soldering on in the van just like they had hundreds of times before... People talk shit about the late-period flag but honestly, the music is still killer and they were obviously still a monstrous live band. It's a shame it had to end but hey, at least we have a document of it.
