Front Row Photos: Great White and Motley Crue's Vince Neil in Tampa
With The Stadium Tour on hold until next summer, Vince Neil is doing a few solo dates. On October 14, Neil and Great White packed the Seminole Hard Rock Event Center.
Vince played all Motley Crue classics like "Dr. Feelgood," "Shout at the Devil," "Looks That Kill," "Home Sweet Home," "Don't Go Away Mad," "Smokin' in the Boys Room," "Kickstart My Heart," "Girls Girls Girls," and "Wild Side."
New Great White lead singer Mitch Malloy brought big energy.
Along with Crue classics, there were covers of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath songs.
This was my first time at the new Hard Rock Event Center. Acoustics were excellent and the setting was really intimate. It's basically one big ballroom so there are no "nosebleed" seats.
Vince Neil often gets dogged on the internet for his vocals in concert, but he's definitely taken some weight off and it made a difference.
Keith Richards for President! Loved the shirt.
Great White's "Once Bitten Twice Shy" got the sold out crowd going wild.
The venue's small size probably helped a lot too. I've seen a dozen or so Motley Crue shows over the years and this one ranked in the top 3 even though it wasn't a full Crue show.
Zoltan was INSANE on drums!
If there's an act coming to the Hard Rock you're in to, definitely go! Many acts on this concert list play much bigger venues where you don't feel as connected to the band.
Fans definitely went home happy.
