This was recorded on the 4th night of their Hammersmith run, & whilst it's no soundboard, as an audience pull it's more than worthwhile. The files came to me as a trade via Jansson (which is Appreciated), & needed a little tweaking so they were run through Audacity. Work involved was a minor retrack, & trimming silence from the end of '...Grind Ya Down' which was a tapeflip, as you'll hear on the '...The Road Crew' with it's slightly cut-in intro. A gap was also trimmed from 'Motorhead', no music lost as it's during the All-Clear outro - there is a resultant pitch change, but only in the sense of it joining together a descending whine towards the end...& finally the files were normalized, to correct a channel imbalance. The recording is a good one (samples below), as is the mix - I suspect it was taped slightly towards Lem's side as Eddie isn't quite as loud, although The Three Amigos can all clearly be heard, a testimony to the crew's ability to harness roaring beasts before letting them loose on a very good setlist indeed - the band showing no signs of it being their 12th show in 13 days, no signs of tiredness, just making that beautifully distorted roar that can only be played very loud...& Remember - They were Motorhead, & They played Rock & fucking Roll - Don't forget 'em...
