From Amazon.com Caught live in Salt Lake City on their 2000 tour supporting the New Tattoo album, Motley Crüe's first concert video--with the group in peak form--is a must for Crüe fanatics. Even without trouble-plagued drummer Tommy Lee (in his place, Hole's Samantha Maloney powerfully beats the skins), the Crüe sizzles through a 95-minute set of headbanging anthems like "Kickstart My Heart," "Dr. Feelgood," and "Shout at the Devil." Even a raucous cover version of "White Punk on Dope" fits snugly into the Crüe's sound, with Vince Neil's vocals, Mick Mars's guitar, and Nikki Sixx's bass playing all in fine fettle. A plethora of DVD features include anamorphic widescreen video, 5.1 Dolby Surround audio, behind-the-scenes footage, the animated video for the "Hell on High Heels" single, and several Web links. --Kevin Filipski

Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 60 Average rating: 4.0 "3 and a half stars" I just purchased this DVD in anticipation of their 2005 tour hoping to capture some of the Crue magic before I see them in the flesh. The main fault of this concert is that is seems to capture them "neither here nor there", seemingly in a transition, struggling to find their identity in the post-grunge-now-with-vince-again era. Tommy Lee is noticably absent, and while Sam Maloney is awesome it ain't quite true Crue without Lee. Vince Neil's singing is actually fine but he suffers terribly from being a fat b**stard and struggles to keep up with the tempo of the songs and fit all the words in. He does improve as the concert goes on. On the positive side this is still Crue, and that is enough. The Crue backing singers are gorgeous eye candy, Micks guitar playing kicks ass and Nikki Sixx rocks and livens up the stage with his energy. DVD extras are ok, but Mick (the most curious enigma of the band) doesn't utter a single word during the entire thing which is so frustrating! Hopefully a DVD of the current tour will be released which will see a more assured and cohesive Crue in full control. "Sam Rocks!" Ok here's the skinny on this DVD. I'm a headbanger and a crue fan for what that's worth. People seem to either love or hate the fact that Sam is on drums and not Tommy Lee. This DVD isn't perfect...the crowd is lame for one...but hey it is Utah for crying out loud. There's no big flashy stage show, and Vince hasn't been able to carry a tune for as long I have been buying their albums. Big deal...it's Crue...and it's live, and if you can get past the buzz kill of the first three songs...it picks right up and rocks your a**. The band is tight, and if you didn't know Sam Malone was on drums, you would swear it was Tommy Lee. This DVD has the best live versions of Wild Side and Dr Feelgood I have ever seen. The two songs from new tatoo rock just as good or better as any of the old stuff. I didn't care for White Punks on Dope, and Home Sweet Home, well I've never liked that one anyway. I like the DVD because it's raw...just like the Crue. As far as Sam...I think she stole the show...I personally would like to see what would have been with ole Sam...I think she gave the band a much needed hook for next generation of crue fans, and more than that, she was totally into it...banging as hard or harder than any other drummer I have ever seen..male or female. Is it worth $17 or so for this DVD? I was for me...I rented it first, then bought it. If you're unsure...try buying a used copy for less and $10. "Cool DVD!" Let me start off my review by saying that I am one of the biggest Motley Crue fans on the planet,and I have a huge Crue collection. So when I saw this DVD at a music/movie store at a mall close to where I live today,I was quick to buy it,and I am glad I did. This is a very cool DVD. It shows Motley Crue performing live in Salt Lake City on July 5,2000,which was six days before they released their NEW TATTOO album. With this DVD,you get to see Motley Crue perform a total of fifteen songs live--mostly stuff from TOO FAST FOR LOVE,SHOUT AT THE DEVIL,THEATRE OF PAIN,GIRLS,GIRLS,GIRLS,and DR. FEELGOOD,but you do get to hear a song that The Crue had recorded for their DECADE OF DECADENCE compilation(PRIMAL SCREAM)as well as three songs off of NEW TATTOO(PUNCHED IN THE TEETH BY LOVE,HELL ON HIGH HEELS,and their cover of The Tubes' WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE). And even though Tommy Lee was no longer the drummer for Motley Crue when this DVD was filmed and released(as well as he was no longer Motley's drummer when they recorded and released NEW TATTOO)here's another cool thing about this DVD:the drummer who you see accompanying Vince Neil,Nikki Sixx,and Mick Mars during their live performance is Samantha Maloney,who was a drummer for the Hole--Randy Castillo(RIP)had actually been hired to take over for Lee,but since Castillo was sick when this performance was shot,Maloney had been hired to fill Castillo's shoes for this performance--not only is Maloney a good drummer,but nobody ever imagined that Motley Crue would have a female drummer,but this DVD and that performance proves that we were all wrong! At times during this DVD,you can tell that Vince Neil is getting hormonal with Maloney on stage,and that is one of the funniest things about this whole DVD. There are also some pretty cool bonus feautures here also. You get to see a behind the scenes look from when Vince Neil,Nikki Sixx,Mick Mars,and Randy Castillo were making the NEW TATTOO album(it is very cool to see Castillo in the special feautures for this DVD),a behind the scenes look at the Maximum Rock Tour,the music video for HELL ON HIGH HEELS,and among other cool bonus feautures,you get a rare track on this DVD called NOBODY WANTS TO BE LONELY,an unreleased Crue song that was supposed to appear on the re-issued versions of one of their albums but was lost during the re-issuing process and couldn't be on one of their re-issued CDS--since we can't get it anywhere else,I'm glad that that song made it on here! As for the performances on here,KICKSTART MY HEART is an excellent way to open a show,Nikki Sixx's introduction before The Crue performs WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE live is pretty funny,the live performance of GIRLS,GIRLS,GIRLS just rocks,and SHOUT AT THE DEVIL closes this concert nicely--but the whole DVD is pretty cool. Overall,a very cool DVD. The sound here is a little weak at times,and at times it doesn't seem like Vince Neil is singing on pitch--but other than those two small flaws,the rest of this DVD rocks--it is great to have a DVD that lets me watch great Crue songs performed live by The Crue themselves ANYTIME I want to--I also like the female dancers that dance on stage close to where Vince Neil,Nikki Sixx,Mick Mars,and Samantha Maloney are performing,and the special feautures are pretty cool.This DVD is pretty entertaining,and most Crue fans should be quite satisfied with it--anyway,thank you for reading my review of this,enjoy this DVD,and I can not wait until one month from now-which is when I will get to see The Crue on their tour!!! Rock On!!! "Grreat" Samantha's drumming is amazing, I was thoroughly impressed with it. I liked what she was doing on some of the songs better than what tommy does at times. I was a little unimpressed with Vince's vocals, they seem to have lost a lot of the kick that his voice once had, and the fact that he skips a bunch of words is kind of annoying, but he was energetic and still fun to watch. Nikki is awesome I like watching his performances alot, he's a better performer than a bass player though, his abilities are quite limited (imo). Mick's guitar playing is amazing as always. The audio production for this dvd is great, although I think that the guitar could be a bit louder it seems to be drowned out by vocals and drums in a lot of spots and gets kind of hard to hear at times. The features are great, I just wish that Mick would actually talk. Nobody Knows What Its Like to Be Lonely is a great song! I personally wouldn't be unhappy if Sam was Motley's permanent drummer, she kicks so much ass. I was somewhat disappointed in the censorship of the dvd, it's supposed to Motley Crue the most excessive, womanizing, decadent band in the world... I think that this dvd failed to capture that aspect of the Crue. I guess like any band, it's all about the music and the music in this dvd is awesome. I'd recomend this dvd to any Cruehead. "solid effort" I enjoyed this dvd...no it wasnt some flashback to shout at the devil or theater. What it is, is a pretty tight representation of a band long broken up. Vince's vocals are better than i thought they'd be. Nikki and Mick actually sound interested in their performance....I must disagree with previous reviewers about the tour drummer, Samantha. While I'm a tommy fan, she brought alot of enthusiasm to the concert that was refreshing. Any drummmer could see she was a total pro! I did wish there was more old material....oh well.
