Motorhead

In August 1980, shortly before the live recording at Nottingham Theatre Royal, Motörhead was riding high on the success of their album "Ace of Spades," which was released just a month earlier in November 1980. This album not only solidified their status as a leading force in the rock and metal scene but also featured some of their most iconic tracks. The live performance captured in the video showcases the band at a pivotal point in their career, reflecting their raw energy and uncompromising sound. Interestingly, the setlist includes early fan favorites like "Overkill" and "Motorhead," reinforcing their reputation for high-octane live shows. By the time of the broadcast in April 1981, the band was gaining increasing recognition, setting the stage for their lasting influence in heavy metal and rock music.
