Iconic rock group MÖTLEY CRÜE wrapped summer’s biggest rock tour as headliners and honorees for the Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) live on Sunset Boulevard this past Saturday night (August 20).

The show, a combination of classic hit songs, massive pyro and fireworks displays, state-of-the-art sound and visual effects—including “The 360” drum coaster, with electronic music sensation deadmau5 joining Tommy Lee for a ride—rocked over 15,000 fans.

It marked the largest crowd ever for the SSMF.

MÖTLEY CRÜE is giving back to their fans with a newly shot live video to “Kickstart My Heart,” one of the band’s biggest hits.  The video, shot by videographer Bobby Hewitt, chronicles life on the road for the rockers.

MÖTLEY CRÜE released a statement: “We documented the whole tour, top to bottom (the good, the bad and the ugly) and as we were looking through all the amazing footage, we thought how cool it would be to cut together a "best of visual" for the fans who made this tour happen. This one is just for the fans, from us.”

MÖTLEY CRÜE’s 48-city trek tour—which launched on June 24 and wrapped this past weekend—was one of the summer’s highest grossing, packing amphitheaters and arenas all summer long, drawing half a million fans.
