East Rutherford, NJ - Media Review Quotes

By Hackensack Record

Last October's show was a triumphant return for Def Leppard.

Plagued by accidents, illnesses, and production problems, the group had been away from the concert stage for nearly four years.

All those troubles seemed like ancient history Wednesday.

The two-hour show was a triumphant return to form for the hard-working British quintet.

From the first blistering guitar chord to the last thundering drum beat, the band was on.

Performing on a stage in the center of the arena which allowed every one of the 21,000 fans a clear view of the proceedings the group mixed songs from its current album 'Hysteria', with old hits.

Joe Elliott seems to mature as a vocalist with each performance.

Where he once relied exclusively on his voice's high range, he now makes use of its lower registers.

Which served to enrich 'Gods Of War' and the title track of 'Hysteria'.

Solid musicianship was also the order of the night.
