Motorhead

In June 1981, Motörhead delivered a high-octane performance of 'Ace of Spades' that would become iconic within the heavy metal realm. This live recording is from their landmark album 'No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith', which was released just prior to the performance and captured the raw energy of their concerts. The album not only reached number one on the UK Albums Chart but also showcased the band's unmistakable sound—fast, loud, and rebellious. It was the first live album for Motörhead, solidifying their reputation as a must-see act. Interestingly, it also marked a pivotal moment in rock history, with 'Ace of Spades' becoming one of their signature tracks, echoing the band's ethos: live fast, play hard, and never hold back. This performance remains a testament to Motörhead's relentless spirit and influence in the metal genre.
