First Videos Of 'The Stadium Tour' Emerge

The Stadium Tour finally kicked off last night in Atlanta, Georgia. Videos are starting to pop-up on YouTube and I was watching Twitter and some live feeds of the show last night as clips were available. The big news, of course, was that Tommy Lee broke four ribs a couple of weeks ago and couldn't play the whole Motley Crue set. The band had Tommy Clufetos play some songs after Tommy Lee did a few beginning numbers. He also came back to play the piano on "Home Sweet Home."

Vince Neil didn't sound good. I know, you're shocked. A close video of "Girls, Girls, Girls" is available on YouTube only.

Here's a close-up of Mick Mars playing guitar. He's using a stool now. I'm worried about him in this heat and so much traveling.

Here's the Motley opener, "Wild Side" and Tommy Lee is playing this one.

Poison sounded really good from the clips I saw. We've talked about it before: they are a messy, party band. They don't care about making new music but they also don't try to gloss over their sound with backing tracks and fake effects, either. Here's "Nothin' But A Good Time"

Def Leppard sounds great! They should probably just headline every night. I said what I said. "Take What You Want" - in the rain!

"Hysteria" - also in the rain

You know who else sounded bloody great? Joan Jett, that's who! "I Love Rock n' Roll"
