CD: Motley Crue - Live Entertainment Or Death	Released: 1999
Reviewed By: Dave Elder (FaceInTheSky)	Rating: (2/5)

This live album is rare. Rare in that the band will tell you what songs are from what show and even admit to doing overdubs.

This 2 disc set has all the hit songs the band had. The first disc is mostly the earlier songs from their first few albums and is from live shows during that time period. Songs like "Looks That Kill", "Too Young To Fall In Love", Merry-Go-Round" and "Piece of Your Action" are on this disc and I must say that they're not too bad. Though Vinces voice isn't the best in the world. Even with overdubs they sound off key at times. The mix is good for a 'live' album and the crowd isn't over powering. They're also not mixed so low you can't even hear them.

The 2nd disc is, of course, lots of songs from their later albums and were recorded later on in the 90's. Songs like "Home Sweet Home", "Girls, Girls, Girls", and "Dr. Feelgood" can be found on this disc and like the first disc the sound is good and the band sounds sharp. Well, except for Vince.

This is an album to get if either you are a hardcore fan of the band or you just want some of their hit songs and a few non hits. If you only kind of like the band and own their studio albums then stay away from this album because it's a basic live album with nothing to really warrant a purchase.
