Motorhead & Mick Farren Live at the Marquee - New Musical Express, April 9, 1977
Author: Chalkie Davies
"About a year ago if you'd asked me what was the worst band I'd ever seen I reckon I'd have put MOTORHEAD near the top of the list. After all, the headbanging noise they used to make could have killed an elephant at a hundred paces.
Last Friday at the Marquee, however, a total transformation had occurred. Sure, they still play the brash, loud, bang your head against the wall music, but this new three-piece version play it with style. At last it looks like Lemmy has found his niche (how about a record company giving him a few quid to see if he can cut it on vinyl as well, cos it would suit the Quo, Sabs, Heep fans down to the ground?) and the sweat drenched Marquee audience loved every minute of it.
It was great, too, to see Farren strutting the stage again on a couple of numbers. This band needs your support - do something about it."
