I have so many photos from this tour it's ridiculous (over 300). I tried to gather the ones I thought were the best into one set here:
Best of Crue Fest
My favorites:
And those aren't even the half of them! I guess I was just a LITTLE excited to be at Crue Fest. My two favorite bands on the planet on one tour? Hello.
In Scranton, I was front row. FRONT ROW. Like, I could see up Mick Mars' nose for crying out loud. Every time Nikki came by I would totally swoon. I kept thinking of how I would sit in my room in 7th grade, listening to them, wishing I was right where I was Saturday. Amazing. I stood in one spot for 7 hours without any bathroom breaks just to have that view!
And of course Roach was amazing each night I went (I went to 4, plus one Crue/Buckcherry only show). Every time this tour comes up in conversation, people would say how they stole the show. Considering they had Motley Crue and Buckcherry on the same bill, the fact they stood out- even to people who didn't walk into the show as a fan of theirs- is quite an accomplishment.
Anyways, I'm glad that I have these photos and videos to remember the experience by. Even if I didn't have them, I will never forget it. I mean- I couldn't have asked for a better tour lineup. Well, maybe if Elvis came back from the dead and Gn'R reunited with the original Appetite lineup...!
GEEK BONUS MOMENT: The Scranton show was the next to last date of the tour. So when Vince sang "Just one more night and I'm coming off this long and winding road" it was literally true. I smiled. Shut up *blush*
