Motley Crue LIVE! in 1982

I made this video from some great Motley photos and audio from 1982. They remixed and released "Too Fast For Love" with Elektra records in August. By the end of the year they were demoing the songs that would make up 1983's "Shout At The Devil." The photos in the video were taken by Tony Alves and the live version of "Starry Eyes" comes from the release "Live: Entertainment Or Death." This is from an HQ soundboard recording from the November 19th shows at Perkins Palace and is, as far as I know, the only soundboard from the 1981-1982 era. Both the 8pm and 11pm shows were recorded and have circulated among bootleg collectors for any years and are on Youtube.

June 9th, 1982, Cruesing Through Canada, Edmonton

Well Crueheads, we've heard about Motley's infamous 1982 "Cruesing Through Canada" tour for 35 yrs. Bomb threats, bar fights, border issues with Crue's S&M paraphenilia . . . the good old days! We never had any pics or video or audio of this tour, just Crue memories, until June 9th, 2017!

This 35 yr old news clip popped up yesterday from CBC Edmonton News in Canada. The boys are lipsyncing the Leathur version of "Live Wire" at the bar Scandals, where they're to be performing for the third night in a row. They address a bomb threat that Crueheads later learned was a band publicity stunt! Nikki, of course, has a few words & there's about 1 minute of absolutely vintage, rare & awesome early Motley!!! Here's a news article spelling out the video:

June 9, 1982: Mötley Crüe rocks on after bomb threat in Edmonton

`We don’t really care either, we’re here to give everybody their money’s worth’

On June 9, 1982, Mötley Crüe wouldn't let a bomb threat to police stop their Edmonton show.

Mötley Crüe's 'Crüesing Through Canada Tour '82' hit a bump in the road with a reported bomb threat against the band.
The threat claimed the Los Angeles-based group's lives would be endangered while they were to perform their third and final show at Scandals in downtown Edmonton.
Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx downplayed the threat.
"We don't really care either," he said. "We're here to give everybody their money's worth for the show.
"If people don't enjoy it, they don't have to come and see it."

The show went on without incident, and Mötley Crüe moved on to play two nights at the Riviera Rock Room in Edmonton.
As for the bomb threat, the band later revealed that it had been a public relations stunt.
Mötley Crüe went on to worldwide fame and continued to tour for years to come. Their most recent stop in Edmonton was Dec. 12, 2015 at Rexall Place.
In the video, CBC's Margaret O'Sullivan explains how the bomb threat wasn't going to stop the band. O'Sullivan's story is set to rehearsal footage of Mötley Crüe in Scandals early on in their career.
