Baltimore, MD - Media Review Quotes

By Baltimore Sun

Instrumental showmanship was very much the order of the evening, though.

In addition to the expected solo-showcases for guitarists Steve Clark and Phil Collen, there were some slyly astonishing ensemble performances that showed how much the group has improved during its absence.

'Bringin' On The Heartbreak' was especially stunning, opening quietly, with Clark's pastoral 12-string strumming offset by Collen's flamenco flourishes.

It seemed an almost complete rethink, until the lights went out and the band kicked in with its signature sledgehammer attack.

Although things got off to a slow start, after a passably passionate 'Women', the band lapsed into somnolence, performing the song 'Hysteria' almost as if sleepwalking.

Once the Leppards found their pace, they were indefatigable.
