25 & Alive Boneshaker is a live DVD released in November 2001 featuring Motörhead's 25th anniversary concert at Brixton Academy on 22 October 2000. The concert has also been released as the band's seventh live album entitled Live at Brixton Academy on a double live CD in December 2003. It was issued by Steamhammer in Europe and by Sanctuary Records subsidiary Metal-Is in North America.
Various guests made appearances on the night; "Fast" Eddie Clarke (ex-Motörhead), Queen's Brian May, Todd Campbell (Phil's son), Paul Inder (Lemmy's son), Whitfield Crane (ex-Ugly Kid Joe), Doro Pesch (ex-Warlock) and Ace (Skunk Anansie).
The DVD also includes an acoustic session recorded at IHT Studios, Clapham, some Motörhead archive film, interviews with the band and their guests, and songs filmed at the Wacken Open Air on 4 August 2001.
Gold Disc
In June 2008, Motörhead received Gold Disc presentations for sales in Germany exceeding 25,000 copies of the 25 & Alive Boneshaker DVD.
Cover artwork
Joe Petagno, long time sleeve artist for the band, commented on the concept behind the cover for the DVD:
The idea was to create the feeling of tour posters being torn off the wall, one layer at a time, from 1975 to the present day... That was the basic idea: to create this montage of Motörhead through the years.[3]
