    Anyone else go? What did yis think?
    I thought it was brilliant despite the vocal issues/breaks.
    Thankfully he stuck out the 90 mins despite the sore throat or whatever (surely he should have had a few hot totties?). A lot of people left before the encores for some reason.
    I thought Overkill was excellent as was Iron Fist.

    Funny, myself and a mate were up in the Circle and a young fella in front was texting his g/f (based on all the xxxxs). Anyhow he first texted "am at a concert" and a few minutes later he was texting something like "a band like the Smiths" - jayusus, the youth of today! :confused:

    They don't know their arse from their elbow these youths!:D

    Yeah I thought Lemmy battled away superbly, He was in no state to do that gig and fair play for sticking to it, a night off is what he needed. I thought for some of the songs during the set there was a vocal track behind what he was singing. Still Phil stepped up to the plate and sang when needed too. Overkill was phenomenal, best tune of the night and great to see Bomber brought back. There seemed to be a change of setlist after Lemmy took the five minute break early on.

    Ah well, just underlines how awesome Motorhead are I guess. Great gig!

    Overkill was genius. I was worried when Lemmy disappeared off and the guitar solo started but the man is a legend if nothing else.

    Shocking to think Lemmy is 63.

    Yes, it was deadly despite the problems. Fair play to Lemmy for sticking it out, looks like the Belfast gig is going ahead tonight as well.

    Much better than the last time I saw them in the Ambassador

    Have to say, for me it wasn't a patch on last year's Ambassador gig. Thought it was going to turn into a complete disaster with the poor unfortunate guitarist trying to keep the crowds spirits up when Lemmy exited but fair play to the them they managed to salvage the second half. I thought the sound was atrocious earlier on too which didn't help - the dummer was absolutely brilliant though.

    I left, it was simply too sad and painful to watch him suffer on stage.
