Motorhead

In late 1979, Motörhead was riding high on the success of their album 'Overkill,' which had been released just a few months earlier. 'Overkill' marked their second studio album and was pivotal in defining their loud, aggressive sound that blended rock and metal. This live recording from November 30, 1979, at King George's Hall in Blackburn, captures the raw energy that Motörhead was known for. By this time, they were gaining a fervent fan base, thanks to their relentless touring and dynamic live performances. Interestingly, this period also saw them solidifying their reputation in the UK punk scene. Tracks they performed, such as 'Jailbait' and 'Shoot You In The Back,' were fan favorites that showcased their hard-hitting style and Lemmy's iconic vocals. This particular show offers a glimpse of a band on the precipice of legendary status, blending raucous sounds with an unmistakable attitude.
