Tampa Bay Times - Media Review Quotes

Their precision — and let's face it, after playing all these hits a million times, they ought to be polished to a zirconium sheen — would be enough to cover up the missteps of any aging lead singer. But sneering and preening with his arms stretched out wide, Elliott did all right for himself. He ceded a few choruses to his bandmates and fans, instead hopping in with vocal fills as needed on Pour Some Sugar On Me and Foolin'. He strained for those last "getting its" on Armageddon It, but was hopping and punching like a whippersnapper at the end.

And by closer Photograph, Elliott was still pushing his cords as high as they would go, with Collen and Campbell always there to pick up any slack. At that point you'd bet on the Def Leppard machine humming along for years, cranking out time-immaterial versions of Hysteria and Animal and Rock of Ages well into the next decade. Maybe the next two.
