Motörhead - No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith

Here's another classic live show for your enjoyment. This time it's those old rockers Motörhead and the No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith album, released in June 1981. They were formed in 1975 by bassist and singer Lemmy (Ian Kilmister) after he got kicked out of Hawkwind for, as he says, "doing the wrong drugs".

With the exception of "Iron Horse / Born To Lose" which was from a 1980 show, this was recorded at the Leeds and Newcastle shows during the Short, Sharp Pain In The Neck five-date tour in 1981. The name of the tour was a reference to the injury sustained by Phil Taylor when he was dropped on his head during some after-show horseplay. Despite the title of the album, the London venue the Hammersmith Odeon was not played on the tour. The actual shows were:

• 27 March 1981: West Runton Pavilion, Norfolk
• 28 March 1981: Queens Hall, Leeds
• 29 March 1981: City Hall, Newcastle
• 30 March 1981: City Hall, Newcastle
• 03 April 1981: Maysfield Leisure Centre, Belfast

I saw them play on their tenth anniversary gig at the Hammersmith Odeon and they were excellent. This album captures their live sound perfectly and even if you've heard it before it's well worth another listen. This is actually from a later re-release which includes some bonus tracks not on the original album.

The Ramones - It's Alive

It's Alive is a live album by the American punk band the Ramones. It was recorded at the Rainbow Theatre, London, on December 31, 1977, and released in April 1979. The title is a reference to the 1974 horror movie of the same name. During their U.K. tour of 1977 & 1978 there were four concerts recorded, but this performance was chosen because everyone considered it the best of the shows.
