In the late-80s, my friends, relatives, and I attended many rock concerts, here in the Bay Area. Regardless of venue or acts, Motley Crue fans were notorious, for starting unprovoked fights. No, my friends and I were not the ones starting fights!
Photo above is from summer of 1989, just before The Crue came out with Dr. Feelgood . That was the windward side of Oahu. My brother and I were wearing Girls, Girls, Girls era shirts.
Sometime during the next school year, a bunch of friends and I saw The Crue at the Oakland Coliseum. I *think* Faster Pussycat were the opening act, but we were late, in coming over from San Francisco. But man, once we got there, everywhere we went, it was fight after fight after fight. And this was a concert where we had a few nerdy girls with us. One of them got shoved (accidentally), causing her glasses to go flying. One of the lenses got scratched.
Another girl had a cigarette butt flicked into her hair. Oh, and some drunk jerk tried to pull off one of our girls' shirt.
Still, the flashy Tommy Lee was phenomenal. His performance reminded us audiophiles that the key to PRAT is getting the snap and pop of the snare drum right.
