Motorhead Live at Pauley Ballroom, U.C. Berkeley: No Class, Killed by Death

Venue: Pauley Ballroom Location: Berkeley, California, United States Date: April 25, 1987

In April 1987, Motörhead played a fiery set at the Pauley Ballroom in Berkeley, California, showcasing their raw energy and iconic sound. This performance came right on the heels of their album "Orgasmatron," released just a couple of months earlier in the same year. "Orgasmatron" was notable for its heavier sound and darker themes, reflecting the band's evolution while still staying true to their heavy metal roots. Interestingly, it marked the first full-length album featuring drummer Pete Gill after the departure of longtime member Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor. The live recording includes classics like "No Class" and "Killed by Death," capturing the band in their prime, radiating that quintessential Motörhead charm that had fans headbanging across the globe. This performance is a testament to their lasting impact on the metal scene, engaging audiences with their relentless energy and unmistakable attitude.
