eyes spinning, and the big grin, and so Karl drew that out and that was the FinALL tour drawing." The illustration was later modified an adapted into All's mascot Allroy. Liveage! was released in late 1987 through SST Records as an 18-track LP and a 20-track cassette and compact disc, the latter two formats including the additional songs "Sour Grapes" and "Pervert". The album featured many of the band's most popular songs, and was followed two years later by a second live album, Hallraker: Live!, composed of an entirely different set of songs recorded partly at the same show as Liveage! and partly at a show in Berkeley, California three months earlier. Stevenson explained: Hallraker will be thought of as "the other" live Descendents LP. The Liveage! LP served as a sort of "greatist hits" album, as well as being an accurate documentary of the band in concert. But at the request of fans telling us about all of the songs we "should have put" on Liveage!, we decided to release another album with a completely different set of songs, giving people the entire view of the band, with nothing held back. Reception Mike DaRonco of Allmusic gave Liveage! three stars out of five, saying that "One could classify this as a best-of live album, considering that it features all the hits [...] Bratty, aggravated punk-pop at its finest, the Descendents were not only way ahead of their time, but they were also one of the most influential punk bands of the '80s." Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone commented: "Given its superior selection of songs, Liveage! is the better of the band's two concert recordings; but Descendents weren't the kind of band to switch things up in concert, and these albums are for completists only."
