"Live Chronicles" is a 1986 album by Hawkwind recorded of a live performance of their "The Chronicle of the Black Sword" Michael Moorcock based concept.

The original album release lacked "Assault And Battery" and "Sleep Of A Thousand Tears" as they had been licensed to Flicknife records for single b-sides, and the Michael Moorcock spoken pieces due to Moorcock being in dispute with GWR owner Doug Smith.
