Happy 4th of July!

Motley Crue and Poison rolled into town with special guests the New York Dolls this past Friday to kick off the long weekend celebrations with a bang. And what a spectacular bang! A non-stop barrage of fireworks, fun and fist-pumping rock (and one roller coaster) had the Loyal Loopers packing the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre on their feet for 4 solid hours. You might say we were "Red, White and Crue-ed"!
