Motörhead Live In Belfast 1981 

The best era of Motörhead imo. Fast, loud, and with unforgettable riffs!

So Fast, So Loud....So Motorhead. The best line up Ever.

If you've never experienced Motörhead live, you've not lived !

I saw Motorhead in 1981 at the Long Beach arena. I was 18. They opened for Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour. I am now 57 and have seen a ton of bands. Motorhead still stands out as the loudest band I have ever heard. They were fucking jaw dropping as I had never heard of them before. Great times.

R.I.P. Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke and Phil „Philthy Animal“ Taylor \m/

Guitar has soul. Philty has groove.

This video should be embedded next to the dictionary's definition of Rock n' Roll. Motorhead for life. Thanks, guys.

Not a lot of bands had the guts to play belfast in 81 motorhead are real ones

They were Motorhead, and they played rock and roll.

I don't deserve rock this pure. You can't beat the original lineup. There will never be anything like them again. Born to lose, live to win!

Wow this is an incredible find. I saw the band in 1979 and 1980 and have never experienced anything like it again. The volume was devastating. Like being run over by a speeding locomotive.

It always makes a person sound “old” when we say “they don’t make music like this anymore”. But can someone tell me a rock and roll band this together, this raw, this powerful today? I can’t think of one personally!

Opening with Ace of Spades the energy of that gig must of been magic

Animal Taylor was a force of nature !!!

Motorhead on top of the world at this point !

"THE" Motorhead line-up for-ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was the guy who grabbed the bomber .. it lifted me clean out of the crowd .. wow what a gig. never forget it..

Mickey D is a hell of a drummer, but Phil Animal was something else!

"Overkill" has to be one of the best hard rock tunes going 👍

Motorhead official died today with the death of Fast Eddie Clarke,Heaven is rocking with Ace of Spades playing with all amps set at 11.Lemmy,Phil and Eddie reunited again!!!!!!

What a treasure. Just golden. Priceless & timeless.

Man that drum work is furious.

Original and by far the best lineup of the band, the holy trinity of Motorhead right here.

I remember this gig very well ..I got to maysfied leasure centre and Phil was on the roof off the building looking down on the crowd queuing up and going mad ...what a night ..and people putting there heads into the big speakers..

I was lucky enough to be there,only now that they've all departed you realise how special they were.

I love THIS HARD AND FURIUS ROCK GREETS FROM HOLLAND

RIP Lemmy Eddie & Philthy You lived to rock and toured to play. These guys were the real deal!

kick ass concert rare footage here motorhead live belfast 1981. we are motorhead and we came to rock and roll. this lineup here i would was the best motorhead line up. \m/

I was there , R.I.P. Fast Eddie , a legendary band and one of the best live acts there ever was. Thanks

I saw Motorhead play in 84 It was one of those concerts you can't forget .

This is absolutely the best taping of the original Motörhead trio. I'm a little unsure whether a Motörhead enthusiast can say this, but I got tears in my eyes when I first heard Overkill of this video. It was like when I first heard the record No Sleep til Hammersmith. I just hope that BBC still has the original tape, and we can some day see this with better picture quality.

Brilliant rare footage! The long lost visual record of the band in the Ace of spades era. It's the closest thing to 'No Sleep To Hammersmith as we are ever likely to get. Well done to the BBC for recording it, and to you for sharing it! Be nice if it were out on DVD.

Motorhead in their heyday and Overkill fantastic tribute to Phil. A true rock legend, never to be forgotten. RIP.

It's great to see the bomber stage set. Anyone from Belfast back then will know that quite a lot of bands didn't bring their full stage show with them for some reason. This is fabulous stuff

What a fucking furious machine this band was. I was lucky to see the AoS tour opening for Ozzy with Randy on guitar. Unbelievable. As much as I like all incarnations of Motörhead, and know that Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee are awesome players, this classic lineup just had such incredible chemistry. I always felt Robertson was really overrated, although I always liked Another Perfect Day. His solos just seem kind of lame to me- Eddie had much more natural feel and more melody. Eddie's stuff is easier to play, but I'd rather hear David Gilmour than Michael Angelo, know what I mean? Lemmy was and always will remain the King. He and Philthy had such class and were great foils for each other- they could have been a comedy team- and often were! Saturating myself with 10x more Motörhead than usual since Lemmy's passing. He gave everything he had right until the end- what champion. But if anyone deserves a rest, it's him...

The chase is better than the catch is a great track, great vid

I saw them in Leeds in 1980. That was an eye opener. I'd never seen anything like it before.

Damn cool!!!!!! That's the old gold that nothing of todays crap can beat!!!!

i was there as an 19yr old student !! they were excellent full on the crowd was up for it

The way that crowd reacted to Overkill.

I was there : ) and at the Ulster Hall where they also played , RIP and Thanks ,,,,,,,,,

Simply incredible...Ace of Spades at the very best...best ever Motorhead lineup...r.i.p.💔🇮🇹

"I woz there". Saw this classic lineup 4 times in Belfast. Would love to see the whole gig. BBC probably binned the Betamax/VHS. Fucking crime.

Saw the original Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, etc.etc... but I'll always regret not seeing Motorhead live... God damn I'm sure it was an unreal experience.

Charismatic awesomeness! There will never another Lemmy and another Philty. Rip to both of them.

absolutely fucking brilliant. 3 players and fifty quid in SFX blows away anything you see today !

I saw this band 4 times, it's my favorite band. The last time I saw them was at HELLFEST 2015, since I'm a French fan. In this famous Hellfest concert, the crowd was dense and compact, I think we all felt the end of Lemmy coming, 6 months later he was leaving for the Rock'N'Roll paradise, thank you Lem for these 40 fucking years at full speed.

These guys really had it. That power. Lemmy was probably the last real man in rock n' roll. Lovin' this show! Thank you DmageCase.

Amazing. 40 years ago this music was being played and people were rocking the fuck out. I’m 31. Thanks so much for uploading the video and of course to all who recorded this and preserved it all these years. Legends never die. Even when they are killed by death ♠️🤘

From 1976-1981 there was no band heavier and faster than Motorhead, except this new band called Metallica, who were reared on Motorhead during that time. Long live Lemmy and Phil, the kings of loud and fast speedfreak rock n roll.

Full throttle and a little bit more, thanks!

They were definitely on their peak in 1981 😊

RIP Phil and Lemmy.

This gig was 1st April 81...my first gig..my 2nd gig was Motorhead the same year at Whitla Hall Dec 23rd ..thanks for posting this

The best band that ever was,,, ...great find thanks for posting.... im fucking blessed to see overkill and bomber tours and meet em ... gutted about phil... fuck man lifes to short ,,,

My goodness i can allmost feel my eardrums melt by the sheer volym,love it❤️

WOW!!! This video is a gold nugget! A big, big one. Thanks for the upload!

Motörhead at their legendary best!

Love the fact that Motorhead played Belfast in 1981! .. I guess Lemmy being Welsh probably had a more realistic grip on the situation and didn't fall into the trap of listening to the advice of London based agents who hadn't every travelled north of the Watford gap. The fact is a lot of Rock and Metal bands played NI in the 1970s and 1980s - fair play to em.

I was at this gig. Thanks for posting. Awesome!!!

I got Ace of Spades in November 2002 aged 15. When I watch this set now at 35, it takes me back 20 years ago, banging my head and trying to emulate Lemmy's coolness.

And to think that all 3 are no longer with us! RIP, thanks for the memories and music.

Unbelievable. And the crowd is on par! Makes me wanna visit Belfast some day. 💃

I was there right in front of Lemmy.have video of show.the mad days

WOW-WEE ⚠️☢☣🤖✴ I'M also 57,and saw MotorHead when I was 27 AND Holy Fucking SHIT ❗😨IT was as amazing as IT was LOUD ⚠️☢☣❗❗❗ Lemmy was 1 of those rarer than rare types who managed to pull IT OFF with 99.9% Perfection ✔❗❕🏁

classic line up ... classic track list ... MOTORHEADACHE

I dig how there is no barrier between the lem and the blood-thirsty crowd.

This was going on at the height of the Troubles.

Crowd went crazy at overkill

Fucking awesome! Rest in peace to an amazing rock warrior........LEMMY! Fuck those dirtbags, who disliked this video! Thanks for posting this!

Ah, the classic lineup: Lemmy, Philthy Animal, and Fast Eddie Clarke! This is awesome...wish I could've been there.!!! I was 16 the first time I ever saw Motorhead live. It was in 1988, they opened for Slayer on the South of Heaven tour. It was in a small venue about the size of the (old) Cain's Ballroom, called the Cabaret Theatre. That was also my very first mosh pit/stage diving experience...lol And fkn yes it was fkn LOUD.!!! I couldn't hear anything but my tinnitus ringing for 2 days straight! The only show I've been to that was actually louder was Ministry at Cain's Ballroom in '94-ish

Epic set list.

mama mia that "Road crew " is sooooooo intense .

Now they are back together.

Saw Motorhead loads of times wish i went loads more now

I saw these guys play a small club in Huntington Beach in 1981, Ca. Saw them again in 1991 at a small club in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. As far as being the loudest band I ever heard Ted Nugent was the king of loudest band back in the late 70's to early 80's.

Fuck*ng awesome.! God I miss this band...!!

I bought overkill 12" single on its release i had never heard anything like it and never looked back..rip the power trio.

Wish I’d been old enough to go to this. Fantastic band. I first became aware of them as a small person catching a sneaky watch of The Young Ones, just epic! On a not-very-related note, the broadcaster - Paul somebody I think - went to my school. He was invited back to speak at one of those school presentation things. The first thing he said was that he did seriously crap at examinations. The Christian Brothers weren’t too impressed, we just laughed our heads off.

I wish I had the chance to see motörhead...

My first gig October 27th 1980 Manchester apollo I was just 14 weapon were supporting wore my t shirt for 3 months before I washed it!! R.I.P. motorhead 🖤🤘

Grande Motörhead..... Grandes Tiempos...To Me The Best Line Up Forever....I`m old... sorry... jejejejeje...

Great footage, Birmingham odeon 1980 for me, port vale 81 ✌

GREAT REAL old live.Thank You !!!!

I saw this set at Leeds Queens Hall 1981. Fkn outstanding video mate.

The opener for this gig was Sweet Savage.

I'm getting goosebumps!

Normally when im listening to motorhead im drinking jack and coke but i have work in an hour and this feels different

Die drei Musketiere of Rock!!! Motörhead forever 🤘♠️♠️🤘 RIP Lemmy Eddi and Phil 🖤🤘🤘♠️

Holy fuck UTV's very own Paul Clarke reporting back in 1981 on the legendary Motorhead. I wasn't even born then and this band my favourite band of all time around about 1995 when I first got into them. I swam in that leisure centre too 😆 but true shame I missed this gig. I would have went had I been around. Waited until 2001 to see them finally in Belfast again in the Ulster Hall.

Pure pleasure.

Classic Motörhead! So sad to hear of Phil Taylor's passing. I was fortunate to see Motörhead back in 1981. Blew me away!!!

WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL....... RIP BROS. FTW

This is so great!!!

Mi banda favorita por mucho,motorhead por siempre.

This would have to be the best live concert of all time.Forget nirvana’s appearance at reading 1992.

Thank god this was recorded

Basssssssss drum m m m m ...Phil really was something else for his time ... ..just wicked all round...

Man lemmys voice sounds just as good as in the record.

no thrash metal without Phil Taylor RIP ....
