Motley Crue/Russia 1989

The Moscow Music Peace Festival was a symbol of the end of the Cold War, when HR/HM raided the Soviet Union’s main castle. A pro shot of MOTLEY CRUE performing on the stage of the century has been released. This work was shot at the Luzhniki Stadium on August 13, 1989. This is a multi-camera pro shot. It is said that the 1983 US Festival heralded the arrival of the golden age of the sound genre “HR/HM”, but on the other hand, the Moscow Music Peace Festival was the last fireworks display. Star bands that took the world by storm in the 1980s, such as BON JOVI as the main act, CINDERELLA and SKID ROW, all participated, and Ozzy Osbourne, SCORPIONS, and MOTLEY CRUE, who became icons of HR/HM at the US Festival, also appeared. Also, speaking of MOTLEY CRUE in 1989, it is remembered as the city of their masterpiece “DR. FEELGOOD”, but the position of this festival is a little tricky. To explain the meaning, let’s start by looking back at the schedule at that time. 1989, August 12th + 13th: Moscow (2 shows) ←★Here★《September 1st “DR. FEELGOOD” released》・October 5th: Hollywood show・October 14th – November 6th: Europe #1 (18 shows)・November 16th – December 20th: North America #1 (26 shows)1990, January 3rd – April 15th: North America #2 (67 shows)・April 27th – May 4th: Australia (5 shows)・May 8th – 16th: Japan (6 shows)・May 31st – August 5th: North America #3 (44 shows)1991, August 14th – September 18th: Europe #2 (13 shows)《October 19th “DECADE OF DECADENCE 81-91” released》This is MOTLEY CRUE from 1989 to 1991. Just before this, in 1988, they did not perform live, and in February 1992, Vince Neil was fired. It was truly the last glorious days of the golden age. Among them, the Moscow Music Peace Festival was the first concert to be publicly shown in a long time, and the countdown was on until the release of DR. FEELGOOD. It was also the first stage to restart. Such a stage is a huge festival that attracts attention from all over the world, and both performances were broadcast by satellite all over the world. It was also released as an official compilation video work, MOTLEY CRUE Edition on the second day of the festival. Of course, the quality is also the best. Since it is an air check from that time, it cannot be said to be “completely official grade!” by modern standards, but it can be said with all its might by the standards of the time. Even though the image quality itself is analog, the master freshness is excellent, and there is very little tape twist, dubbing marks, or white line noise. The festival is huge and has a strange atmosphere, depicted with a lustrous and seamless visual beauty. The biggest point of this work is that you can see all the songs on MOTLEY CRUE’s stage. In the official compilation, you could only see three songs, but in this work you can enjoy their full 45 minutes. Let’s organize the contents as well. Girls, Girls, Girls (4 songs) All In The Name Of… / Wild Side / Girls, Girls, Girls / Jailhouse Rock (★) Others (4 songs) Brilliant Passion: Live Wire (★) Shout At The Devil: Shout At The Devil (★) / Looks That Kill (★) Theater of Pain: Smokin’ In The Boys Room (★) *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that were not seen in the official video work “MOSCOW MUSIC PEACE FESTIVAL”. …And so it is. At that time, “DR. FEELGOOD” was also completed, but they did not dare to perform new songs, but instead concentrated on the killer songs up to “GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS”. MOTLEY CRUE introduced the new music “heavy metal” to the world at the “US Festival” in 1983, and also appeared at the “Moscow Music Peace Festival”, which could be said to be the curtain raiser. It was a golden age that ran through with the glamorous “80s HR/HM”. This is a piece that allows you to witness that shining stage with the best master. A multi-camera pro shot of a major event that concludes the golden age of HR/HM is gift released. Although it is an air check, you can enjoy a group of masterpieces that cannot be seen on official compilations using the glossy and beautiful best master.
