It sounds like a ball of treble mixed in a garbage can. It has no mid or bass presence. It’s complete garbage! It sounds like an 80’s Peavey treble amp you could buy for $40… 🤣
This is so good. Mick actually moves around the stage and looks alive. Vince sings better than on the record. If this is what Crue looked like in 1981 it's no wonder they became world famous in 3 years. Honestly this sounds better than what's on Too Fast For Love. And yes I realize we're looking at two separate takes spliced together, doesn't matter much.
Bob Douglass it’s really cool seeing mick look alive now days he can’t even turn his head left or right it’s sad what a disease will do to you in such a short time
I saw them in Memphis, TN in 1988 I was barely 14 yrs old then, went with two of my best girlfriends, and one of their stepdad’s, he was only like 7 years older than us! Tommy went up in the air while playing drums…was the most epic experience of my life at that young age!! Have been a hard core fan ever since!!! Their songs are still on my playlist today!!!✌🏻
@@footfungus191 no its not because of that neither. Theres just something called aging. Its as fucking simple as that, nobody looks the same in their late 50s then they did in their 20s
am i the only one that think Vince used to had such a great moves on stage? I really enjoyed whatching all videos from Motley crue and seeing Vince soo sexual and energetic all the time, (during that era) he actually could dance... couldn't he? i think there's just a few vocals that can actually do it....Anyways....Love Motley crue! :D
Number 1, this era, gotta have a badass front man....vince most definitely. David l Roth, mick jagger still, Scott Weiland. Had to prove ur talent then. Now, look, clicks, all electronically produced trash. Internet kids rule the market sadly. Worse is it's infected all countries....barf....love raw 1st crue album....talent, people were nicer, manners, little crime, had fun. Always went out everywhere alone. That's over now.
Yep, saw them at Magic Mountain in 1981 and this was their look and sound. Electric and raw. Blew my 15 year old brain away. The tall cans in the parking lot didn't hurt either. Wish they could have kept this direction, but I can't blame them for grabbing the money.
@@mzkoption226 Thanks man, shoot, they are playing in LA this weekend too, but I just watched some 2022 video. Oof. No amount of tall cans makes vince look and sound like a musician. Or would they? Maybe better to watch this on loop and keep the memories?
one of the best Motley songs without a doubt It's wonderful to be able to see these videos at this time. in the 80's and 90's you hardly saw it on tv, we could only see it on MTV my favorite show was "headbangers ball", i never missed a single show and even less when motley was announced I grew up listening and watching Motley, which for me represents my childhood and adolescence Motley Crue forever 🤟
Sweet meets Judas Priest by way of Cheap Trick. They distilled the 1970s and created the 1980s. The Motley Crue of this time period was tough to beat. With all due respect to Shout at the Devil, Too Fast for Love is their best album. They were their leanest, meanest and most hungry for this album. By the time they got to Theatre of Pain, the party was over. This serves as a document of a time when lightning was captured in a bottle on the Sunset Strip.
This isn't live!!! It's lip synced!! The proof there's no microphones in front of mick or Nikki yet background vocals. Watch and listen it's obvious they've been doing it from day 1
@@freeZe1989 I get it but what does the title read? Live 1981! Just like the movie the dirt and Nikki's book they embellish things rather than giving a factual account.

Some of us were around I was at the first show and previously seen London shows. I went to school with their first photographer and lived down the street in cerritos where they did their first photo shoot.

Nikki Vanilli may not play bass well, but he sure put together a juggernaut. That's why I have a vintage Nikki Sixx t-shirt. (me: high school & college in the 70s, party hardy in the 80s)
Mick is like a punky Vinnie Vincent, Vince is like a punky DLR, Nikki looks like a reject from the New York Dolls and Tommy has that John Bonham just-behind-the-beat kick drum that makes it heavy yet with a tight groove. Too Fast For Love was like Creatures of the Night by Kiss meets Damaged by Black Flag. It was the best album of the early 80s. (Sorry Kajagoogoo)
Hmmm '81? …I was a kid …kicking up dirt …flying high on my JMC BMX, sportin’ OP …Vans …flyin’ hair …playin’ Tim-Tom (Two-Tone) Drums in Middle School Marching Band …ALSO RIPPing up on set drums in Jazz Band …BUT …WAS, BECAUSE OF (THIS) …ALSO (HENDRIX ZEPPLIN BOSTON) that I was CAPTURED BY …HARD-ROCK / METAL …BECAUSE OF (THIIISSS) …CHOSE TO MAINTAIN ‘GOOD LOOKS’ as well (even to this day).

I remember seeing a clip of this on their 'uncensored' video and wishing they would have played the entire thing. Now, 38 years later, here we are.
Fucking blew up like 2 years later, I love Motley Crue and I respect them for their success
Dam he can move and hit high notes shit this goes hella hArd Netflix the dirt brought me here
