Motörhead - Overkill Live at Hot Point Festival in Lausanne, Switzerland

Venue: Chalet-à-Gobet Location: Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland Date: August 31, 1988

In 1988, when Motörhead performed "Overkill" at the Hot Point Festival in Lausanne, Switzerland, they were riding high on the success of their album 'Orgasmatron', released just a year prior. This album showcased their signature heavy metal sound and featured tracks that became staples in their setlist. Interestingly, 'Orgasmatron' marked a significant transition for the band, as it represented a return to their roots after a period of fluctuation in style. The live recording captures the formidable energy of the band during a pinnacle moment, boasting Lemmy's unmistakable gravelly vocals and the explosive guitar work that fans had come to adore. It’s a testament to their resilience and enduring appeal in the rock scene, highlighting how, even in their later years, they maintained a raw, electrifying performance that still resonates with audiences today.
