Motörhead - Peel Session 1978

[@theauthority1598]

Saw them live in 1979 when I was 16...."watch out son" said an older bloke next to me "they can make yer ears bleed"...I was petrified but Motorhead were magnificent. My ears were ringing all that night and at school the next day ....

[@tommcmanus8359]

same, i wear ear plugs ever after

[@grindfreakmike5754]

I saw them 4 times and i couldn't hear for 3 days after each show.

[@northernpunx1978]

You luck bastard. 79?! That had to be overwhelming

[@baldyslapnut.]

Saw them in 1980. 4 days for my ears to stop crackling.

[@jimsy5530]

Lots of RIPs for Lemmy, but let's give some for Peely, Fast Eddie and Phil Taylor too.... no one on this recording's alive...

[@northernpunx1978]

Absolute bang on point. All legends. All deserving. All gone. Xo

40 years ago, the weekday ritual would be...……… get in to bed, headphones on, tune in to John Peel. At the time we assumed that we would never hear these sessions again.... EVER!

[@Kelly14UK]

Guitar jammed to bands in 97/ 98 on Radio 1. Positive it was Radio 1. Peel was like an overseeing Uncle to bands.

[@beanolabub]

John Peel "I think I'd quite like a record of that" Fact is that these versions are better than the released records - especially Keep Us On The Road

[@innercityunit2112]

+Al Willmott Absolutely spot on...This is a cracking session from Motörhead, they're really on fire and as you say, Keep Us On The Road, especially, is a killer track..I love Motörhead and play this JP session regularly, never tire of it, one of the best Peel Sessions ever IMHO.

[@ryanmcbride3782]

Am i the only one who puts this song in their top 10 Motörhead songs of all time?!🤘🖤🌹

[@gilsaraiva2830]

John Peel IS a fucking genius . 10000000 Peel sessions and there is not one where I do not like his recordings more than the originals. Here´s a blatant example!

[@DaveWatts_ejectamenta]

I agree, they should have started a recording studio, the record companies got it wrong by over producing everything

[@gilsaraiva2830]

indeed, the purest and the performances HE somehow pulled off millions of bands who´ve been with him. Peely was 1 of a kind - as iconic as Lemmy without the "glamour" :)

[@briteness]

Absolutely. Peel got it right every time. I would not be surprised if over time his sessions eventually became better known than the original records themselves, in many cases. In 100 years they will still be listening to this stuff.

[@mark-wh2qc]

John Peel didn't exactly pull anything off, he wasn't an engineer or producer all he really did was decide what bands to record, Peel was simply an extremely good DJ with a very eclectic taste in music. In fact I think the "Pulled off" was probably more down to the producer John Walters than Peel himself. Also a big thank you to the Musicians' Union rules for imposing needle time restrictions...

[@briteness]

mark wood That detail about needle-time restrictions was something I had never heard before. Interesting that that was at least part of the motivation for the recordings done by Peel and his crew.

To all those saying this recording is a better reflection of Motorhead than the vinyl, I agree. The squares at the old BBC knew what they were doing, nothing added, nothing removed. Just technicians who knew how to get out of the way. Buzzcocks were another band who never sounded better than the Peel recordings.
