Motley Crue 1981 “Paperback Writer” Performance Unearthed
February 18, 2011
Never-before-seen footage from Motley Crue’s second concert has been unearthed to promote the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal themed auctions of eBay seller EliteWorks — search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZeliteworks.
On April 25, 1981 Motley Crue were opening for Y&T at The Starwood, and their manager at the time [Allan Coffman] hired Bell Piper to videotape the performance which featured the Crue’s unrecorded cover of the Beatles 1966 classic “Paperback Writer.” The song was dropped quickly thereafter and replaced with “Jailhouse Rock.”
Dozens of Motley Crue collectibles are featured among the 84 auctions, including a newly added promotional only, Umatic videotape master from June 1981 of the band’s first two music videos (“Take Me To The Top” and “Public Enemy#1”).
In addition to Motley Crue, vintage memorabilia featuring KISS, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Van Halen, Scorpions, Dio, The Cult, Guns N’ Roses, Tesla, Quiet Riot, Ratt, W.A.S.P., Mr. Big, Faster Pussycat, King Diamond and even lesser known acts such as Warlock, Fate’s Warning, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sacred Reich, Dirty Looks, Tora Tora and Oliver Magnum are also included here: search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZeliteworks
