Mötley Crüe Setlist at Club Shelter, Pasadena, CA, USA

This was a few months after the ill-fated tour with John Corabi ended and was to be the last show with him.

I look in the LA Weekly the Thursday it came out and almost missed the
small ad - Club Shelter in Pasadena, Motley Crue and friends, some sort of benefit for a roadie who ran over his own kid. Doors at 7:00.

Even though I really liked this incarnation and wanted to see the band, I really wasn't feeling it (I didn't go to many around this time). I was in no hurry to get there and figure if I am too late I could hit some of the local record stores. Get there at 8:30. No line, club is still dead empty.

At one point I realize it's Nikki Sixx on the balcony in front of me. He is walking around the club and no one is swooping down on him. A few unremarkable bands of various genres (I think I remember a soul/gospel ish act playing) play. Then a surprise appearance by Billy Idol with Steve Stevens, Matt Sorum and an emaciated and unrecognizeable Duff
McKagan. They do Communication Breakdown, Shakin' All Over, Paranoid and Rebel Yell.

I just have to laugh to myself and think if this gig was 5 years earlier it could have been held down the street at the Rose Bowl.

Motley Crue finally takes the stage. The club is no longer empty but I have plenty of elbow room. They play Shout At The Devil and Hammered,
unfortunately the only MC '94 song of the night. Then they bring out
special guest Dannyboy of House Of Pain to join them for Livewire. He sings backups and at the end of the song stagedives. Which you can't really do on a thirty something burnout crowd late on Monday night. He
immedietly gets dropped and disappears from view before ending up on stage and storming off.

Then they do Home Sweet Home without the piano. The dude from House Of Pain comes back out onstage toward the end and heads right toward John Corabi. John is holding him back with his hand on his chest and
looking at him intently as he hums out the last part of the song then surrenders the mic. Dannyboy starts cursing out the crowd because when he stagedived his wallet got stolen.

The last song of the short 30 min set is Primal Scream. They walk offstage through the crowd and right after Tommy leaps off (the last of the 4 to do so) he appears to get in some sort of angry confrontation
with someone in the crowd before his own security intervenes and drags him off.

I still remember this night vividly and it's still my favorite Motley Crue show.
