Another Perfect Day?

Saturday 19th November 2005 - Brixton Academy

Motorhead, In Flames & Girlschool

Unfortunately, I missed most of Girlschool's set as the queue was so long it took a agesto get into the venue. However, I did catch Demolition Boys and Emergency which still raised a cheer. And then a surprise. Lemmy joins in for a rendition of the Headgirl St. Valentines Day Massacre single Please Don't Touch.

In Flames. Very aggressive and heavy. If you like your music loud and your guitars downtuned then walk this way.

Motorhead. Having seen the show at the Hammersmith Apollo earlier this year I was really looking forward to this. All the elements were there with classics like Love Me Like a Reptile, Metropolis and the ultimate show closer Overkill and great tracks from Inferno such as Killers which rocks like crazy. However, tonight it was a case of a great show somewhat spoiled by a lousy sound. Lemmy complained about his mike on several occasions but it never seemed to sound right and the whole live sound just didn't seem to come together. In conclusion, a good show that could have been great.
