Grande Prairie, AB - Media Review Quotes
Elliott kept the microphone wielding, crowd taunting proceedings going, bounding back and forth across the stage, drawing ample response to whatever side of the arena he gestured to.
Bassist Rick Savage - with his ever-present wireless microphone - was equally as mobile, holding down not only the bottom end, but some impressive backup vocals.
More content to stay on their respective sides of the stage, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell were no less impressive, showing some six-string pyrotechnics - most notably a wildly entertaining guitar duel during the Hysteria hit, Rocket - showing what some of these dropped-tuned, nu-metal bands have forgotten in past years - guitar solos are cool.
Holding down the backbeat as he has been doing for past quarter-century for the band, Rick Allen and his specially designed kit to accommodate the one-armed drummer didn't miss a beat and the skinsman was given his due from the appreciative crowd when introduced before Rock Of Ages.
While the band broke out their current material, such as Elliott strapping on an acoustic guitar to lead the band through Now, the first single off of X, it was the Hysteria material in which the band hit their biggest home runs of the night.
