Notes
BETTER MOTORHEAD THAN DEAD - LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH rekindles memories of a momentous night that even a cosmopolitan city like London doesn't see every day. Early June 2005 saw the long queue in front of the venerable Hammersmith Odeon, a venue of many legendary live shows - stretch right to tube station on the other side of the road. What was going on ? Motorhead had invited their fans to their 30th anniversary party, and over 5,000 of them accepted. Their number would have been greater had the powers that be in the British capitol not rigorously limited the capacity of the illustrious venue. Loved by their fans, respected by the press due to personal integrity of the three band members, Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, Motorhead were experiencing their seventh or eighth spring in the 30th year of their existence and continued to be as generous as ever.
