I'm going. I plan to catch a lunchtime train and be in Kings Cross about 2 ish. So how ever the long the tube takes to get to Brixton. As for where I'm easy. Although it would be nice if the pub played decent music and served real ale. Stumbling distance of the venue might be another consideration.

I'll be there. Travelling up from west Wales in the morning, not sure where I'm staying yet.

It's also my birthday that day, can't think of a much better way to spend it.

I will be the guy first in line dressed in hobo clothes. I will probably be there from around 10pm.
How cold is it in London in mid-november?

Hey!

We wanna go there, but at the official sites there are no more tickets...

Any idea where I can grab two?

I'll be arriving in London about 12.30ish with six others in tow.

The good time of the year is coming again. Who's going and who's not? What time are you guys arriving at Brixton and where shall we meet?

I'm there! Probably late afternoon in here... http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/34/347/Beehive/Brixton

@2 minutes walk it certainly satisfies the stumbling distance part of my requirements. The beer is good, even if it's a plastic chain, so that's tick number 2. Don't imagine we'll get any decent music, but hey 2 out of 3 ain't bad

See you there lads!

Whst pub is everyone going too? Be brill to hook up with new mates for a booze up

Sadly this was the worst Motorhead show I saw (Ive seen about 8 so far) - they just didnt look like they wanted to be there, no energy, no chat, they didnt play bomber, they played barely an hour and a half.... and the sound was really poor sound quality.

very disappointed!

Hour and a half ?!!! that`s normal for any band.
Go and do that yourself when you`re 66(almoust 67) years old.
Usually people are retired or dead at that age.
Little perspective, man!!!

Back in 1984 they played every show about 70 mins...
Leonard Cohen plays for nearly 4 hours and he´s 78 years old...

Regarding the setlist we see proof that all the fans REALLY like it when f.e. ROCK IT or YOU BETTER RUN is in the set. That is, songs that haven´t or very seldoms been played. And with the back catalouge they have, why not put in MORE songs they haven´t played? This year we got DOCTOR ROCK back, a song they´ve played too many times. Last year, JUST COS YOU GOT THE POWER, another song we´re sick to death with. And I KNOW HOW TO DIE this year again! (Third year in a row) they MUST have others songs to fill the setlist with! And of course we´ve all hears STAY CLEAN, METROPOLIS, OVER THE TOP, BRAZIL, KILLED etc year after year after year...! I just think it´s a shame they don´t deliver some other goodies, maybe they´re getting bored and just want to get the show over with so they can go back to the bus and read their books on their ipads or whatever...

Leonard Cohen for 4 hours.
That must be boring...

Not all songs are easy to play live. Lemmy had an hand injury last year because of playing songs that demand too much. And I think most people are happy with the current setlist. I mean, they can't please everyone 100%. Having Rock It back was a great present to me.

In Lemmy's biography he goes out of his way to say that the band would drop Ace of Spades and others, but they would be lynched by fans if they dropped the classics.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter WHAT they play, just as long as they continue playing.
Anyone who truly loves Motorhead would never criticise any setlist.
Just be grateful that this phenomenon is STILL PLAYING at all!

I first saw Motorhead in Aberdeen with Saxon supporting in the late 70's.
I then went to uni in Edinburgh in 1980 and saw the Iron Fist Tour. This was in a massive old cinema. The support band came and went and they shut the old cinema curtains.
Lights dimmed.
Cheers went up.
Curtains opened.
Nothing there. Just this masssive gauntlet opening and closing to a fist. An Iron Fist.
AND THEN Motorhead came down from the ceiling !!!!
The whole fucking stage lifted up on steel cables 50 - 60 feet.
The crowd went mental.
I have seen them nearly every UK tour since then.
I lived in Southend for a long time and saw them there and in Cambridge and in London.
I now live in Margate and saw them last year in Southampton and this year in Brixton.
You know what ? Once I get my ticket I still look so forwrd to seeing them again.
I first saw Motorhead when i was 17. I am now 50. I have a good well paid job and my life is pretty good. But the only thing constant in it has been Motorhead.
Girlfriends come and go.
Friends move away.
Parents die.
But for me Motorhead, actually Lemmy, has always been there.
So when some twat comes on this forum and says that he "only lives a half hour from Brixton" and he can't be bothered going to see them .... I am glad .... REALLY GLAD ... cos it means a real fan got the pricks ticket !!

i've been saying exactly
the same thing on this forum for
fuckin years mate !!! spot on !!
similiar age & experiences might have
been sepertated at birth
