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[edit]

In June 2008, Motörhead received Gold Disc presentations for sales in Germany exceeding 25,000 copies of the 25 & Alive Boneshaker DVD.

Cover artwork[edit]

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.[2]

Track listing[edit]

All tracks are written by Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor except where noted.
