Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the legendary frontman of Motörhead, would have turned 80 on Wednesday. To celebrate, the band is looking back at another special birthday.
The Motörhead YouTube channel has just released the full performance from their 1995 show at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, which marked Lemmy’s 50th birthday. The setlist featured classic hits like “Ace of Spades,” “Bomber,” “Iron Fist,” “Stay Clean,” “Metropolis,” and “Killed By Death.”
Before Motörhead took the stage, Metallica surprised fans with an opening set under the name The Lemmys. This iconic concert is also available as a live album in Motörhead’s The Löst Tapes series.
Lemmy passed away on December 28, 2015, just four days after his 70th birthday. This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of his death. Celebrate Lemmy’s legacy by checking out the unforgettable Whisky concert!
