Original notes: "Guys....Amazing 40 minutes start on this recording - Never cared for these guys but damn was this a rockin concert - I was too close at the stage and very heavy but KILLER! It does need EQ - But this is the kind of show that sounds like a bit of EQ will do wonders! Do you like these guys? Download this and play back with your best stereo - I went to this show from Chicago all alone and no help from Kurt O - who backed out helping me at this show - I brought in all this gear by myself - What a jerk for telling me this after 90 miles to his house - But did make it in! Do EQ this please - After that, guaranteed a great listen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excellent show with Pete Gill on drums. They play a few new tracks, with a couple from the as-yet unreleased "Orgasmatron" album. Interestingly, "On the Road" still hasn't morphed into "Built for Speed". Gill has "The Hammer" dedicated to him, as it once was for Philthy! Lemmy introduces himself as "Uncle Rotter" (a Peter Sellers character - another British comedy reference is to Tommy Cooper in the lyrics to "Nothing up my Sleeve", as Lemmy obliquely points out here. The motif continued with "Claw" on the new album [not played here], and Michael Palin paid tribute on the album after that...).
I got this show from dime some years ago, and tidied it up a little, but I don't think I ever put it up here. When I saw a request for it the other day and pulled it out, I saw it needed more work. The tracks were badly aligned, often matching a point 15-20 seconds into the song, and there were some PA problems which I thought could be ameliorated.
First edit (with Nero): 1 - "Bite the Bullet" and "The Chase is Better than the Catch" have been separated 2 - "Overkill" was in several parts, which have been reintegrated
Second edit: 1. Raise overall volume, except towards the end, where the levels came up. 2. Raise the volume where the PA partially cuts (No vocals are audible during the first part of "Steal your Face", and something similar happens during "The Chase is Better than the Catch". Similar issues in the early part of "Bite the Bullet" seem to be more of a recording equipment glitch. 3. Realign tracks to their starts or introductions by Lemmy (he's quite chatty, and introduces most of them). 4. The end of the show with its squalling feedback, was faded a bit prematurely, so I've faded it back up till the end of the applause
