Stumbled upon a review of that gig, and boy I had no clue. Basically, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Jovi and Aerosmith all were on stage that day (not all at the same time).

A few things:
- In 1989 there were only 18,000 people in the arena. In 1987 it had been 22k
- the sound was shit
- 'Particularly impressive was the constant thwack of Tico Torres’ insistent drumming, and Richie Sambora’s feverish guitar bursts'
- Aerosmith joined for Walk this Way (any version of this available anywhere, and was it just Steve and Joe or the whole band?)
-WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE was NOT played! (What the ****??)
- Skid Row described as: "They look and sound the same as a hundred other hard-rock bands today, too many of which copy elements of Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and AC/DC"
- Skid Row did Live Wire with Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars joining them
Now that must have been quite an oddly awesome show. Bootleg available anywhere?
