The performance of the fourth single from the group’s fifth studio set was captured during the Dr. Feelgood tour in 1989-90, and will be featured on the anniversary packages when they are released on November 22.
Recorded in Vancouver with producer Bob Rock and released in 1989, the album took the Los Angeles band to No. 1 on the US Billboard Top 200 and earned a 6X Platinum certification in the region, while reaching the Top 10 in Australia (Platinum), Canada (3X Platinum), Finland, Norway, New Zealand (Platinum), Sweden, Switzerland (Gold) and the UK (Gold).
With five massive hit singles that kept radio and MTV request lines busy, the Dr. Feelgood World Tour saw Motley Crue on the road and in the air on their own private jet for over 2 years. First single “Dr. Feelgood”, set the tone by reaching the Top 10 on the US Hot 100 singles chart. Originally a Top 30 hit upon release, “Kickstart My Heart” went on to become Motley Crue's most popular landmark track. The Hot 100 hits kept coming as “Without You” hit No. 8, “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" reached No. 19, and the final single, “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.)”. was accompanied by a music video capturing the fan excitement of a live Crue show.
The centerpiece of this 35th Anniversary campaign will be a Limited Edition Box Set available on LP & CD with the remastered version of the original album, as well as rare demos and live tracks. The box set also features a 24-page replica tour book with never before seen and never before published live and behind the scenes photos, a replica Dr. Feelgood Tour itinerary, poster, patch, backstage pass, live show handbill, press kit, medical envelope and guitar pick.
In addition to the box set, there will be a deluxe streaming version and six different configurations for fans of vinyl: an Independent Retail exclusive color vinyl, a Walmart-exclusive color vinyl with 3D Lenticular cover art, a Target-exclusive Zoetrope vinyl, an Amazon Exclusive Picture Disc Vinyl, an Urban Outfitters Exclusive Color Vinyl, as well as Standard Black Vinyl. Last but not least, the anniversary edition will also be available as Walmart-exclusive CD with 3D lenticular art, as well as a Standard CD. All variants feature reimagined cover art showing 35 years of decay.
Motley Crue will host a spring 2025 series of shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM under the banner “The Las Vegas Residency”, with performances starting March 28.
