Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)All Motley Crue fans, beware...this live album is censored. A couple years ago, shortly after the Carnival of Sins tour ended, Motley Crue released this same exact album exclusively through Wal-Mart. I bought it knowing the Wal-Mart version would be censored because it was Motley Crue, it was a great show and the setlist was top-notch. Then I saw the Crue was releasing the concert again, only this time it was going to be through major retail stores like Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. I figured, great! I'll get the uncensored version as well, right? Wrong. Sure the packaging didn't have a parental advisory sticker on it...but I figured if anyone is buying a live Crue album you should expect to hear all the F***'s and S***'s. I put in my stereo and low and behold it was the same album I bought a couple years prior from Wal-Mart.
If you're a Motley Crue fan, you want to hear how they REALLY are live without the censor police ruining an album. If the record industry wants to make 2 seperate versions of a CD, an explicit and a clean, fine. But album buyers should have the choice.
I rated this album 3 stars. It is a great concert, a great setlist and the band sounds very tight. You get a perfect balance of all 4 men and their instruments (the drums sound amazing!) This would have easily been a 5 star album, had it not been censored. If you're a Crue fan and you know what they're like live (and you didn't already buy the Wal-Mart copy) I'd pick it up. If you're a new fan that wants to hear how Motley Crue sounds live, I'd probably still pick it up since they sound great...just beware that this record does not represent a real Motley concert.
