Live Performance Feb. 85 is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It was released by both Le Syndicat in France and Merzbow's own ZSF Produkt label. Despite the title, it was recorded at Merzbow's home studio. It was soon reissued on ZSF retitled Nil Vagina Mail-Action. The reissue says that it was originally released as Life Performance, but the original releases have it written "Live". It was reissued on CD on March 7, 2016 by Cold Spring titled simply Life Performance.
