I don’t know Motley Crue all that much. I’ve watched a concert DVD with Troy, but I’ve never owned an album. But once they hit town, I figured I should see what the hype is all about.
If you love the 80s rock and roll, then they are right up your alley! I’m glad I brought Vero with me because she was loving it!
Big Wreck opened which is a welcome surprise. I had completely forgot that they were on the tour. They are in top shape as they must be winding down their Albatross tour.
Motley Crue took the stage with a giant clock ticking down and this wild electronica music pumping through the arena. I know that Tommy Lee is very much into the electronica…not sure if they other gents are as well or if this is solely his influence. Either way, the eardrums were a-popping and we were loving every moment of it.
They opened up with Saints of Los Angeles and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show like this! Ladies dancing around poles and in trapezes, massive light show, massive sound…THIS was spectacle!
They put on a great show. It’s entertaining. Everyone is loving it. Can we also point out that the drum solo had Tommy Lee’s drum kit on a roller coaster track which rotated upside down? Classic. They even brought up an audience member. Good thing Mike got back from the washroom quick!
Two thumbs up. By the way, it wasn’t until 10:30 that I realized Motley Crue does NOT play Every Rose has its thorn.
