Cover artwork
Joe Petagno, long time sleeve artist for the band, commented on the concept behind the cover for the DVD:
<blockquote>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.</blockquote>
