Curt Taft - Fan Review Quotes

"Joe said his good evenings after that before Phil started the intro to "Women," a song that wasn't played in 1996 much to my surprise. "Too Late For Love" followed, and was one of the highlights of the night for me. At this point in my life, "Too Late For Love" was basically my favorite Leppard song and to finally see it live was a real treat."

"A trio of hits came next in "Hysteria," "Animal," and "Foolin'." The crowd, which was up over 10,000 people, astonished me with how loud they were singing. Especially on "Hysteria" and "Animal."

This and other archive concert reviews can be found on the show pages in the Tour History.
