Oklahoma City, OK - Media Review Quotes

By Sandi Davis

The band seemed a bit ragged at the end of several songs. Lead singer Joe Elliott's voice was a little strained, and by the end of the concert he was nearly hoarse.

The show was peppered with duelling guitars by Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, making an interesting contrast to the single guitar solos common with other bands.

Collen brought his son Rory out for the unplugged section of the concert, when the band played "Two Steps Behind. " The band saved the best for last, belting out "Armageddon It," spliced with the very old rocker "Black Betty," then went from Queen's "We Will Rock You" to their megahit "Pour Some Sugar On Me. " The audience was singing lustily with the last song, and Elliott seemed to enjoy it, directing the Grandstand crowd to greater heights.

Def Leppard wound up its regular set with one of its older anthems, "Rock of Ages. " For an encore, the band played "Love Bites," and wound up its American tour with "Let's Get Rocked. " Def Leppard has a new album "Retroactive," due out Oct. 4, and the news was greeted with delight by the fans.
