West Allis, WI - Media Review Quotes
By Gemma Tarlach
Singer Joe Elliot, bassist Rick Savage, Allen and guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, hit the stage fit and, as the opening song goes, ready to "Rock! Rock!" the delighted capacity crowd.
Elliot's voice is still one of the great clarions of rock, as he proved during a long sustained note near the end of "Make Love Like A Man." The singer's trademark stage moves are still intact, too; that, at 41, he can play the bad pretty boy with conviction is itself an achievement.
The band as a whole brought new energy to its 90-minute nostalgia set. Only two of its 16 songs - the recent hit "Promises" and 1996's more experimental "Slang" - were less than five years old. Most of the tunes came from 1983's "Pyromania" and the band's first comeback, after Allen's accident, the 1987 blockbuster "Hysteria."
