(Adrenaline) Motorhead have shared a video for their cover of the Thin Lizzy classic "Rosalie" to celebrate the announcement that they will release the special previously unreleased concert 'Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival 2007' on June 16th.

Motorhead loved playing live and never ever judged their audiences. Everyone was encouraged, all were welcome. And that included people who like jazz! So when the Montreux Festival called requesting them, it made perfect sense in its own, unique way. 'Tis worth noting, too, that the Festival has always been about stepping beyond the boundaries of that 'J' word, and embracing unique artists of all genres, styles and sensibilities, the only true consistent requirement being that they represent the best and most adventurous of their ilks. It is why, in the 'artists played' list, alongside a Dexter Gordon you'll find a Deep Purple or a ZZ Top, and it's why the Festival continues to attract a diverse roster of artists to its stage annually. The recordings of seminal performances such as these, were all given UNESCO heritage status in 2013, such is their value to the arts.

Recorded during the band's 'Kiss Of Death' tour at the legendary Auditorium Stravinski on 7th July during the 2007 edition of the world renowned, Montreux Jazz Festival this show is such a tremendous statement of just how potent and perfect a trio Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee were, with not just one of the more diverse set-lists of their decades together, but individual performances which prove how top of the tree each was in their own class. The set also includes the first official release of their cover of Thin Lizzy's 'Rosalie'!
