San Jose Mercury News reviewed the show which took place at Cow Palace.

The first show by the band in this city since May 1980.

San Jose Mercury News - Concert Review Quote

"The Def Leppard sound was intact, with its cliched guitar solos and crunching beats and bass, offset by melodic sensibility that often eludes many heavy metalists."

"That is the charm and the flaw of Def Leppard."

"Guitarists Phil Collen and Steve Clark are capable performers, just as bassist Rick Savage and Allen (playing an electronic drum set designed for his handicap), make for a pile-driving rhythm section."

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