     Apologies to those on IROCK who've seen this before...

     Lemmy and the boys played an *amazing* headline show here at the
     Masquerade on Saturday night.  Now back to a trio format, they really
     cooked. Phil Campbell's guitar playing was great, very much in the
     vein of Fast Eddie Clark (lots of bluesy licks and rockabilly mixed in
     with the shredding). Lemmy's playing was great as well...lots of thick
     bass chords coming out of his Rickenbacher (and running through wah
     wah pedals!...now I know how he kept up with the Hawkwind guys!)


     setlist (12:01-1:27):

     Ace of Spades
     Sex and Death
     I'm So Bad (Baby I don't Care)
     Over Your Shoulder
     Metropolis
     On Your Feet or On Your Knees
     Stay Clean
     Liar
     Burner
     The Chase is Better than the Catch
     I Ain't No Nice Guy
     Born to Raise Hell
     Nothing Up My Sleeve
     Orgasmatron
     Sacrifice
     Going to Brazil
     Killed by Death
     Bomber

     Encores:

     Iron Fist
     Overkill

     highlights were a spooky "Orgasmatron", a feedback laden "Overkill",
     and "Killed By Death".  Whole show was quite good and consistent from
     start to end. Only 3 tunes from the new album, though. Lemmy really
     rocks for a 50 year old...his bass playing was quite impressive
     throughout the set.

     Really wished they'd played "No Voices in the Sky" and "Motorhead",
     but ya can't have everything!
