Motorhead

The live recording "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" captures Motörhead at a pivotal moment in their career during a performance at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on August 20, 1980. This live album was released shortly after the band's critically acclaimed studio album "Overkill" (1979) and right before "Ace of Spades" (1980), both of which solidified their reputation in the heavy metal and rock music scene. "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" showcases the raw energy and relentless drive of Motörhead, featuring tracks from both of these albums. Interestingly, this live album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, a significant achievement for a live recording, reflecting the band’s growing popularity. Motörhead's frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, was known for his distinctive voice and bass playing, as well as his unapologetic rock and roll lifestyle, which is embodied in the electrifying performance captured in this recording.
