Motorhead - Rock In Rio, Portugal (2010)

Last post of 2010, with Motorhead on their forth(I think) visit to Portugal, in this one playing on the Rock In Rio festival. This year they celebrate the 35th Anniversary and have just released The Wörld is Yours, their 20th studio album.
Some videos of this performance from May 30 are floating around on Youtube. Curiosity: the power went down during the first track, Iron Fist, and the show was interrupted some minutes (which I edited), Lemmy even says they have turned acoustic.
Anyway, good as Motorhead always is.
Happy rocking and rolling 2011!
