No Sleep At All is Motorhead's second official live album, the first being No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, released in 1981. It was recorded on July 2, 1988 at a Giants of Rock Festival performance in Hameenlinna, Finland.

Wurzel is quoted in the insert of the re-mastered CD release, saying; "A lot of fans were saying that they want to hear this line-up on a live album. EVERYBODY seems to record at the Hammersmith Odeon don't they? Or the Fillmore East when that was going, or the Budokan and all those flash places. So we thought we'd do it in Finland".

EMI Greece pressed a 7" vinyl called "Live In Athens", featuring "Metropolis (Acropolis)", it was shrinkwrapped to the first 1,000 copies of the No Sleep At All album. The songs had been taped for the Greek Antenna Metal Show, for which Lemmy retitled "Metropolis" to suit the occasion.

Lemmy recalls that the album was a mistake and failed sales-wise, he considers it to be 'all right' but thinks it could have been better, explaining:

we had Guy Bidmead mix it because we wanted to give him another try, mainly because he had been Vic Maile's boy and Vic was a great live mixer. After that that, I think we finally figured out that Guy just wasn't Vic Maile. Don't get me wrong, though — after all I've said about Guy, it was only 'cause he was taking orders from us. He was too nice! Vic knew when to tell us to shut the fuck up!

To promote the album the band engaged in a tour of the States, opening for Slayer.
