Sounds - Online Review Quotes

"Add to these circumstances the fact that drummer Rick Allen tragically lost his left arm ... understandably if unhappily, much of the interest in the band would revolve around the way in which they and he coped with this sad accident, and it can be seen that Leppard ... had a lot to prove to this audience.... but the band gave it their all, Rick electing to play solo with the aid of a computerized kit."

"The sound was pristine, at least to begin with, and clean cut razor-edged hooks which line their classy and almost sophisticated metal took the place by storm."

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