Holmdel, NJ - Media Reviews

Def Leppard By Russ Cohen

Def Leppard had the most fans there, and they didn't disappoint them by greeting them with "Rocket," "Animal" and "Excitable." Lead guitarist Phil Collen had it whistling during these songs, and the band was very tight, and lead singer Joe Elliott was in good voice and even better spirits as he took a swig from a fan's beer in the front row, saying "Cheers" to the crowd.

Elliott, with guitar in hand, later took the stage with Collen and Vivian Campbell to play an acoustic mini-set that included "Two Steps Behind" and "Bringin' On The Heartache" which changed over to the full band at some point, making it the most striking song of the evening thanks to the audience participation and booming drum sounds from Rick Allen.

The show ended with "Photograph," "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and the final encore, "Rock Of Ages." There were new videos playing in the background which the band seems to change every time they tour, keeping it fresh for their fans.

All of these bands meshed very well, they all played for at least an hour, and the show started promptly at 7 p.m. and ended at 11 p.m. with a few set changes.
