Other than this past tour, can anyone remember the last time Motorhead did not play Overkill at one of their concerts?

Sometimes when they play festivals, they drop Overkill if they have to play a set shorter than usual. As far as I can tell from the bootlegs I have, it wasn't played in 1983 (along with most of the songs that were performed with Fast Eddie) and from 1989 to 1991, when Philthy couldn't (or wouldn't) play it anymore. Apart from that, Overkill has been in the set continuously from 1992, when Mikkey joined the band.

Overkill is something you need to see live for the full effect

Overkill is a song which only works when played fast. I wouldn't be suprised if it won't be on future setlists.

In march 1987 they came back onstage to play Overkill but left again cause Philthy got cramp in his legs! I remember Phil C getting really pissed off cause of this. Würzel told me about the cramp in Lund a few days later.
It was played pretty fast with Peter Gill, as most songs were back then!
