Clean Your Clock is the thirteenth live album by the band Motörhead, released on 10 June 2016, approximately six months after the death of vocalist and bassist Lemmy.[1] Lemmy dedicated the song "Doctor Rock" to Phil Taylor, Motörhead's drummer from 1976–1983 and from 1987–1992, who died a week before the live album was recorded.[2]

Recording
The album was recorded during their European 40th Anniversary tour. It is compiled from two sold-out shows at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, on 20 and 21 November 2015 (both nights were filmed but only the first show was released). Unbeknownst to UDR Records at the time, these two shows would turn out to be the last Motörhead live shows that were recorded professionally.
