Double album on yellow splatter vinyls with gatefold cover. Limited 300 copies

As Motley Crue and Def Leppard wrapped up their European Tour with giant shows, the night before the 80s rockers were to play Wembley Stadium to 90,000 fans, Motley Crue, billed as Dogs Of War, booked a show at the Underworld nightclub in London which holds about 450 people (30th of June 2023). Beside old classics british audience also got to hear the live debut of the band’s newest cover song, the Beastie Boys classic, (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party). The Dogs Of War show was announced on Instagram and were sold out within 20 second. The show was their first UK show with John 5 on guitar, their first time playing a club in the UK since their stint with John Corabi, as well as the band’s first time playing the historic Underworld. The night started with a cover band called Motley Crew that performed all kinds of hardrock and metal covers. The Motley show was up next and from Wild Side into Shout At The Devil, Neil provides a good performance. Arguably one of the better we’ve seen over the years. While lyrics are skipped and notes aren’t held as long, this is nothing like some of the videos plastered all over YouTube. A sigh of relief releases and we’re able to lose ourselves in what’s happening. The glam metal titans steamroll through their breakthrough song and set the temperature soaring. Though it’s with Too Fast For Love we see a slight wobble. Arguably a song many Motley Crue fans are neither here nor there with, it seems the band feel the same, powering through it in very little time. Live Wire and Looks That Kill follows and were treated with more covers. Rock n Roll (Part 2) (Gary Glitter), Smokin In The Boys Room (Brownsville Station), Helter Skelter (The Beatles), Anarchy In The U.K (Sex Pistols), and Blitzkrieg Bop (Ramones). Smokin In The Boys Room is arguably one of the Crues biggest tracks but there are some fans who still simply don’t take to it. More who are jarred by the obvious change in lyrics to include 5 instead of Mars. The Beastie Boys tracks goes down well with the audience. Fists fly into the air and a copious amount of sweat and water. As this flows into the addictive grind and bounce of Dr. Feelgood, this breath of fresh air into the live set couldn’t have come at a better time for Motley Crue. Before this, they had become predictable and crowds had begun to grow stale. While Neil’s penchant to skip entire lines comes out to play during the 1989 track, we find ourselves not really caring, finding the moment all too intoxicating to pull ourselves from. No Friday night on Camden Lock would be complete without Girls Girls Girls and these come accompanied by scantily clad dancers attempting to navigate their way around an unforgivingly small stage at The Underworld. Nevertheless, they make themselves at home as Neil pays homage to the legendary dancers of The Seventh Veil. Hell has definitely been raised as the Underworld as the sleaze rock gods push things to another level. We’re pushed further with the salacious Primal Scream. Sixx dominates the bassline, leaving many women jealous of a fretboard and a few strings. The grind sways many hips as we trip to the light fantastic. The only thing which brings it down is Neil’s vocals as mistakes are made and words are missed. Par for the course with this band nowadays. Kickstart My Heart ends the night on the high it deserves. Both band and audience drip with sweat. Water pours from the ceiling. The air is relentlessly hot and stale. Humidity ruling our minds at this point, we’re forced to sum the show up in a few words. One of the Crue’s finest hours transpired in The Underworld. While old issues arose we couldn’t have asked for a better show from one of glam metal’s most notorious bands. This album features the complete Dogs Of War show as well as the complete show from the NFL draft 2023 concert series held at the Draft Theater in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, April 28th, 2023.
