MOTLEY CRUE ”CIVIC AUDITORIUM, SANTA MONICA, CA, US” (DECEMBER 31, 1982)

You learn new things every day. Didn't really know that Mötley Crüe's "Shout at the devil" at an early stage bore the title "Theatre of pain" Vince can be heard saying thison the recording from the show when he presents "Red Hot" on New Year's Eve 1982 in Santa Monica. By the way, they had dragsters on stage, Elvira was in the audience, they were fined 1000 dollars for pyro and this was the night when they met future managers Doc McGhee and Doug Thaler for the first time. 


Down below is the full concert for Motley Crue's show at the Santa Monica Civic Center in Santa Monica, CA on December 31, 1982. This was a sold out show that the Crue headlined called the New Year's Evil Show. I would probably rate the audio quality as aud-, so nothing for the ”everything must be 5.1 channel surround sound dude”.
