Louisville, KY - Media Review Quotes

The band started the hit machine rolling with the third song of the set. The crowd roared when Def Leppard ripped through "Let It Go" from "High 'N' Dry," "Foolin'." from "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" from the album of the same name, interspersing vintage video clips on the overhead screens.

Def Leppard did inject a few newer songs into the set. A cover of Badfingers' "No Matter What" and David Essex's "Rock On" bookended their own classic, "Love Bites." After that, the hit machine was in full gear. The band tore through solid versions of "Rocket," "Photograph," "Animal" and "Rock of Ages."

Not to be overlooked, Cheap Trick turned in a solid hour's worth of material from their own sizeable catalog.
