Nope Sleep at All is the third live album of British hard rock - and heavy metal - band Motorhead . It was recorded at the Giants of Rock festival in Hämeenlinna , Finland .

background

In principle, it is the band's third live album, but What's Words Worth was recorded as early as 1978 but the band performed under a different name for legal reasons at this concert. The material could not be published until 1983. Formally, Nö Sleep at All is Motörhead's second official live album. The fact that an umlaut is used in the spelling , here an ö in the English word No , was typical for the band and was widely celebrated by other interpreters in the 1980s. The use of this so-called heavy metal umlauts (also: röck döts ) was even increased in the follow-up album.

For marketing in Greece the album was initiated by EMI in the first 1,000 copies a single at that on the B-side of the piece Acropolis (Metropolis) and on the B-side Orgasmatron included.

reception

The release was overshadowed by the live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith , which made it to number one in the British charts as Motörhead's most commercially successful album and is described by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the best hard rock live albums. With the exception of the tracks Ace Of Spades and Overkill, there were no classics by the band, but newer tracks. The sales figures could not match those of the first live album. The reviews for the recording, however, were also mostly positive, even though the band was rather dissatisfied with the final version of the record company.
