Touring in support of album number 20 (!) 'The World Is Yours,' Motörhead did what they've been doing since 1975, which is kick your ass. Seriously a killer set by Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee and done so in front of one of the biggest audiences since the halcyon days of playing at the Aragon Ballroom in the 80's!
Yes, the Congress Theater was packed, over 4,000 people and seemingly one guy dispensing beer!
Venue oddities aside, this was a very memorable shows for many a reason and if you couldn't be there you missed a loud one. It's been a long time since I've been to the Congress and I didn't remember it sounding that good, so kudos to the road crew for delivering the decibels!

Both Clutch and Valient Thorr opened and put on energetic and entertaining sets, but it was all about the headliner for me.
