After performing classic favourites like, Girls, Girls, Girls, Dr. Feelgood and Live Wire, fans called for an encore as the band bid adieu to Abu Dhabi. They later emerged to a small stage in the center of the arena as they bid an emotional farewell to their UAE fans with the piano tinkling power ballad Home Sweet Home.
The band members - drummer Tommy Lee, bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars and vocalist Vince Neil - draw their 35-year career to an end. The Abu Dhabi leg of Mötley Crüe's 'The Final Tour', was the last show ever outside of the U.S.
Jay Wud, the regionally popular Lebanese rock musician, set the mood for the night as the opening act, courtesy of Red Bull.
