Most fans are familiar with Motorhead’s early years, booted from Hawkwind, Lemmy forms the group that would bridge the gap between heavy metal and punk, thus spawning what would blossom into speed metal or thrash. The classic line up of Lemmy, guitarist Fast Eddie Clark, and drummer Philthy Animal…Phil Taylor would release just four albums, Overkill, Bomber, Ace Of Spades, and Iron Fist…all of them are classics. Perhaps my favorite though was the seminal live album No Sleep Till Hammersmith that best defined the line up, raw and aggressive and when one talks about classic live albums it deserves a place near the top in my book. Like all good things, they must come to an end, largely due to differences of opinion Fast Eddie would leave the band while on the bands American tour in support of Iron Fist. This new release documents a concert from early on in the 1982 UK tour, and features a soundboard recording from the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on the 18th of March. This show was taped for a radio broadcast so it is an extremely well balanced recording, clear and well mixed but is flat sounding. Their set list is made up mostly from music from Iron Fist and the previous Ace Of Spades record, while the first half of the show is well played, much is taken up with new material that is well received. By the time they play Capricorn they are in full stride and the second half of the show is relentless. Bite The Bullet and The Chase Is Better Than The Catch are played non stop, the band have the audience in their grip as Lemmy takes a breather afterwards while they chant “Motorhead…Motorhead…” Overkill and Bomber put Animal’s feet to the test and the double bass drum of the songs is thunderous. All in all an album with some excellent Motorhead Rock and Roll.
