MOTORHEAD - Live At The Brixton Academy![]() Can you say "rip-off"? I know I can. "Rip-off". There I said it. This 2 CD set contains Motorhead`s complete 25th Anniversary concert from October 22, 2000. I know cos I was there. However, if you bought the twin pack of the DVD "Boneshaker", then you have most of it already as that came with a bonus audio CD of most of the concert. Even better, that DVD live sound hasn't even been tweaked for audio. So it sounds incredibly lo-fi on a hi-fi. But, it does come in a pointless cardboard slip case, so that's OK. And it's not as if there aren't any other (better) live releases out there from Motorhead. After all the good work Motorhead have done over the last few years reestablishing themselves as lords of rock, it even comes as an unpleasant surprise. Bearing in mind that the box set hasn't been out long, I'm not sure who they think is going to buy this apart from crazed completists like me. But if you really want to know what you're getting for your money, there's the piece of cardboard, some photographs on the skimpy booklet (which comes sans sleevenotes) and the following tracks which were missing on the earlier releases. I`m So Bad (Baby I Don`t Care), Civil War, Overnight Sensation, You Better Run, Orgasmatron and Iron Fist. That's right. Six tracks. Sigh:-( Now, as someone who was there, I had to buy it. The same way I bought "Stone Deaf Forever!", the box set, and the same way I'll buy the next rip-off. However, the next time Lemmy whinges about old labels ripping off the fans with repackages of old material, it could be the end of a 25 year old friendship.
