I already left a review but they asked me again so I'm leaving one....again. Vince, yes older, (we all are) gave a great show....hit after hit and the crowd loved it. Everyone had a great time. I saw MC in the 80s, I know how virile that band really was in the hey-day. I can't do half the things I used to do in the 80s, I'm glad Vince can still do what he loves and I love watching that band!
To help me celebrate my birthday week, Mötley Crüe front man, Vince Neil was playing the Choctaw Grand Theater this last Friday. Okay, the show had little to do with my birthday, but the ticket was only 35 bucks, so I figured, what the heck. I’ll go see if Vince still has the chops to belt out those sweet, hard rocking tunes of the 1980’s. Going to old rock shows for me is a bit like going to a high school reunion. Part of the reason you go there is to see how everyone’s holding up, and this goes for the crowd as well. It's always interesting to see who can still rock the fishnet stockings and leather pants and who should have opted for the sweatpants and flannel. Before I could harshly judge the entire crowd, opening act Steven Adler took the stage. Who? Oh yea, he’s the guy that played drums for Guns & Roses before he got tossed. So let’s see, we’ve got the drummer of G&R with his band opening for the singer of Mötley Crüe with his band. Okay, how come the bass player of Cinderella didn’t throw a band together and join the party? Adler’s band was basically a Guns & Roses cover band, BUT they were great cover band! Although singer Ari Kamin looked a bit like what Justin Bieber might have looked like if he had taken the heavy metal route, the guy really had Axl Rose’s vocal style down and could actually screech out those “Welcome to the Jungle” screams just like Axl could back in the day, and he looks better doing it. Surprisingly, the crowd really seemed to be into it, especially those directly in front of me who insisted on standing up for the entire show. They even stood when the band dipped into Adler solo music. Huh? Steven Adler has solo material? That nearly made me want to stand up in pure shock. Oh well, the band was really great, and if they lacked in any area, I dare say that it might have been the drumming. Oh yea, the drummer Steven Adler was the main attraction in the “Steven Adler” band. Although Ari screeched out a few words of encouragement to the crowd, Steven would stand up between songs and kind of shrug his shoulders as if to say, “I don’t know why the heck I’m here either.” Oh well, it got everyone in that hairband, squealing mood. Even the guys in attendance who had no hair seemed to be pumped. However, the crowd wasn’t just the children of the 80’s. I did see a couple of young, little fillies who were dressed as if they were Elvira’s granddaughters, but they could pull of the fishnet stocking so who am I to complain. Now it was time to kickstart my heart because on stage came that hard rocking, spandex wearing, hair spraying…. okay, 1981 was a long time ago and the spandex and teased hair is long gone, but the songs aren’t. Vince Neil charged onto the stage belting out DR. FEELGOOD, or GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS, or KICKSTART MY HEART or something like that. A lot of those old Mötley Crüe songs sound a lot alike, but who cares because they were all great. Then Vince led us through SHOUT AT THE DEVIL! Whoa Vince, you’ve got a lot more songs to go through. Why don’t you try whispering at the devil? Or perhaps use your indoor voice and just give the devil a quiet scolding. I say this because Vince might have been able to let out a few wild screeches, but there were times when the lead singer of Mötley Crüe was sounding a bit like a Motley Moo! Forty years of screaming will do that to you. He’s also got a Mötley Crüe tour coming up with Def Leppard and Poison. He can’t like Bret Michaels and Joe Elliot show him up on vocals. Regardless if Vince sounded like 1983 Mötley Crüe or 2022 Bob Dylan, the star of the show, for my money, was sitting behind the drums. Zoltan Chaney was back in town to assault the drums once again! I saw him play a few years ago with Slaughter, and this guy is certainly worth remembering! Balancing drumsticks on his hands and head while pounding the drums with his elbows and feet, this guy is the star attraction regardless who is singing. Whenever Vince’s voice was screeching to some ungodly, broken note, I’d just turn my attention to the drums where Zoltan was nearly standing on his head at times or jumping off the platforms while attacking his drum kit. So, the first act was centered around a famous drummer, but the lead singer was the star attraction, and the second act was centered around a famous singer but the drummer stole the show. Hmm, is there a pattern forming here? Now this makes sixth time I’ve seen Mr. Neil on stage, and he’s always been surrounded by a great band whether he’s going solo or playing with Mötley Crüe, but I usually know my favorite song is coming up when a piano is pushed out on the stage. This means that the Mötley Crüe classic HOME SWEET HOME is coming up. Well, this time there was no keyboard of any kind to be found. Apparently, no one on hand could play a piano, so Vince’s guitar player handled the opening, and we all got to sing, “I’m on my way, I’m on my way, home sweet home.”

The only thing that could have went smoother was if we had the option to print our tickets cause ELECTRONIC TICKETS SUCK ! Its a pain in the butt to try to login in cause the internet is never good in these theaters.It took me 20 minutes of trying before we could get in and get to our seats.
A 10 song set list is not a reason to drive from Dallas to Choctaw casino at current gas prices, spend $8 on a beer, and basically have a GnR cover band opening. I was really hoping Vince would do some songs off his solo albums. The best part of this show was the drummer for Vince Neil’s band. This guy was the living personification of Animal from the Muppets
Vince Neil and his band put on a great trip down memory lane. They truly express an enthusiasm that is contagious and shows they love to entertain.
To all the crybabies and naysayers out there Vince put on an outstanding show! I have MC stadium tickets that I was looking forward to; however, 3rd time is not a charm for me. I was set in 2020 then in 2021, but alas 2022 the higher powers that be said that I need to be elsewhere. Too bad, so sad...however, seeing Vince totally made it up for me. With a bonus seeing Steve Adler in action. That was outstanding as well! I will give it an honest review, even though I LOVED every minute of the show. It was around 1 hr and 15 min and he only played songs from Shout, Theater, Girls and Feelgood. I would have loved him to play all the songs from Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil and call it a night...That would have been AWESOME! Thank you, Vince, for a great show!
Vince Is a Professional! The Stage and Sound we're Great... The Songs were Awesome... The Voice was Spot-On... Skipping, jumping and Working the Crowd showed that Vince Loves what he does... A Great Time! Thanks!
Loved the whole experience, great concert. The musicality was excellent and we throughly enjoyed every moment of it. The band and the audience were totally into it. Loved the venue as well.
I thought Steven Adler was going to be playing with Vince. Steven's band did a decent job doing GnR songs.
After a Year of cancellations, it was well worth the wait. The venue seating was everything I thought it would be. The crowd interaction was awesome with both Vince and Steven Adler. His voice sounded amazing. This was an awesome show and I’ve seen Vince many times.
All the hype on Vince's vocals and skipping on lyrics was put to rest at Choctaw. Vince was rested, energetic, and he and boys put on a great show Cant leave out the Steve Adler band Those boys jammed it up as well. !! Great time....
Was a great place, but ppl like me that has a disability. Needs to know where parking is. Thank you
Best ever…my old friends and I use to rock Motley Crue before Motley Crue was Motley Crue..I brought Tonya one of my old friends and we had a blast. We can’t wait for another rock show…best ever
It was awesome rockin it with Vince Neil and Steven Adler. Can't wait until the Stadium Tour in Arlington Texas.
It was incredible and that's putting it mildly! I would totally see them again in a heartbeat!
