The mighty Mot\u00f6rhead return with a massive live album, and when I say massive, I\u2019m not joking dudes. This set contains a two-disc set of 2011 live shows \u2013 a full set from Wacken Open Air comprises disc one, while disc two features two more songs from Wacken, plus shorter sets from Sonisphere UK and Rock In Rio. In addition to the audio, the set also contains both a DVD and Blu-ray that feature the Wacken Open Air, Sonisphere UK, and Rock In Rio shows.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t think of any metal fan that doesn\u2019t enjoy Mot\u00f6rhead. Sure, you might like the older stuff better but, aside from Metallica and AC\/DC, I can\u2019t think of a more respected band in metal. Mot\u00f6rhead are always consistent and this live set is just further proof.<\/p>\n

The band kicks off their Wacken 2011 set with \u2018Iron Fist\u2019, setting the rock \u2019n\u2019 roll tone right away. The band mix up old and new with tunes like \u2018Killed By Death\u2019, \u2018Bomber\u2019 and \u2018Metropolis\u2019, coming in as my personal favourites. The latter has a killer feel live, with Lemmy spewing hard to understand lyrics and the guitars taking more of a lead position than it does in a lot of songs. The riff heavy \u2018The Chase Is Better Than The Catch\u2019 is another moment where the band seems to get a bit heavier than you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n

The second disc finishes off the Wacken set with the metal classics \u2018Ace Of Spades\u2019 (which always sounds amazing) and \u2018Overkill\u2019, before moving on to the Sonisphere UK show. This is where the set gets a little sticky as the songs have already appeared in the Wacken show and the band are so damn consistent that it sounds pretty much exactly the same to me. For example, \u2018Killed By Death\u2019 appears in all three sets and I highly doubt anyone could tell them apart with 100% clarity. I\u2019m not sure there was really a need for this disc, but diehard collectable fans will likely see that much differently than I do.<\/p>\n

The DVD and Blu-ray here are a nice bonus as well but, again, I\u2019m not sure I see the necessity of it. The Blu-ray is particularly sharp looking though, so if you haven\u2019t ever had the chance to catch Mot\u00f6rhead live, the Wacken performance is a huge performance. The band play it cool and present the songs and stage the same in all the sets but you can tell, visually, that Wacken was something really special for them. There\u2019s no real stage show, it\u2019s just three guys rockin\u2019 out, just as it always has been. <\/p>\n

Overall, I feel the same way about this as I do AC\/DC live albums. It\u2019s great for about three quarters of a set and then it just sort of fades into the background. When you are actually there the band ably keeps your attention, but without the giant speakers and physical presence everything sort of blends together. Still, it\u2019s Mot\u00f6rhead and we love them, so it\u2019s a worthwhile purchase if you need a good fix.<\/p>\n
