My entire review didn't fit in today's paper because of space, so here's the full version.

Demonic clowns. Scantily clad acrobats. Fire-breathing little people. Motley Crue brought the whole circus to town for their latest tour.

For two-and-a-half hours on Thursday night, the band, gave the approximately 9,000 fans in attendance a run-through of their career highlights.

After kicking off the show with "Shout at the Devil," original members - together for the first time in six years - Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee went back to the 80s to play hits from their first albums.

"Red Hot" and "Looks that Kill" highlighted a nine-song first set that ended with "Live Wire."

While Sixx and Neil paced on the stage, Mars definitely showed the wear and tear of recent hip-replacement surgery and years on the road.

Looking like the walking dead - his frail body capped with a top hat - Mars never missed a note and played effortlessly throughout the night.

However, while his bandmates were busy getting the crowd going, or jumping around on stage, Mars didn't move around much, and between songs could be seen leaning against the wall of speakers on stage.

Sixx was quick to point out, "This is not a farewell tour" and later told the crowd, "After this tour, we're going to L.A. to make a new record."

The Crue came out for a blistering second set that opened with "Girls, Girls, Girls" followed by "Wild Side."

The show slowed down in the middle of the second set for a combination of "Glitter/Without You" and "Home Sweet Home," but was followed by "Dr. Feelgood" and "Same Ol' Situation."

Known for his drum solos, Lee entertained the crowd by soaring through the air - back-and-forth - between two drum sets suspended near the celing at the front of the stage.

Hooked on a cable on the ceiling, Lee looked like a little kid as he bounced around on the platforms and played a variety of kegs, pipes and electronic drums.

"Do you have any idea how much I love playing drums for y'all?" he asked the crowd at the end of his solo. "I have three words for you. We love you." Followed by about 10 or 15 "Thank you’s"

Throughout the night, the band held true to a simple statement written on the top of the circus-like stage: "The Loudest Show on Earth."

They also threw in two new songs, "Sick Love Song" and "If I Die Tomorrow" which were released on their platinum greatest hits album, "Red, White and Crue."

The show was capped off by an encore of cover songs consisting of Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love," The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK."

While at times overpowering, the concert was one of the loudest I've been to in a long time. However, this is Motley Crue, not Celine Dion.

Hopefully this time, the band will stick around longer than the ringing in my ears.
