Motley Crue launched their 2025 Las Vegas residency on Friday with a 13-song set featuring their biggest hits.
The complete setlist and performance video can be found below.
This marked the band’s first show in 11 months, coinciding with Vince Neil’s revelation that he suffered a stroke last Christmas.
The singer shared with the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he had to relearn how to walk before participating in this residency, which was initially planned for March and April.
Despite moving around the stage cautiously, Neil’s voice remained as strong as during his last performance with Motley Crue.
Neither Neil nor his bandmates addressed the incident from the stage. “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” he remarked early in the show. “What happens to Motley goes to TMZ.”

From Clubs to Arenas: The Evolution of Motley Crue’s Vegas Residency
The concert opened with Motley Crue performing two tracks from their 1981 debut Too Fast for Love, gathered closely together against a backdrop reminiscent of their early club performances.
As the third song “Wild Side” began, the stage erupted with lights and massive video screens, allowing bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist John 5 to explore the expansive stage more freely.
Before starting “Primal Scream,” Sixx made it clear that this was not a sit-down dinner theater show. “Stand the fuck up right now, even in the fucking expensive seats. You’ve got to stand up, you’ve got to put your hands up, you’re at a Motley Crue concert. It’s not Backstreet Boys, motherfuckers, this is fucking rock and roll, right?”
John 5 continues to integrate himself into the band, extending certain guitar solos or adding clever musical interludes while remaining true to the work of his predecessor Mick Mars.

Tommy Lee did not perform any drum solo stunts; instead, he used his time in the spotlight to reflect on the creation of “Home Sweet Home” with Sixx and Neil.
The group also included a snippet of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” within “Shout at the Devil” and performed the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” while Neil introduced the dancing and backup singing duo known as the Nasty Habits.
At the conclusion of the 82-minute show, Lee thanked the audience and encouraged them to enjoy their night, promising he would do the same.
