Their first live show was on 20th June 1987 at the Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, TX for the Texxas Jam festival. S show headlined by Boston and Aerosmith and also featuring Poison and Tesla on the same bill.

From 22nd June until 27th October 1987 Whitesnake supported Motley Crue on their notorious 'Girls, Girls, Girls' tour.

Motley Crue's show has been available for many years.

Def Leppard would play the same venue with Tesla a few weeks later in early December 1987 on the Hysteria tour.
