Dayton, OH - Media Review Quotes

By alarsen

A slick video homage of Def Leppard over the years did a striking job of announcing the headliner.

These impressive visuals played in one form or another behind the band throughout the evening. Say what you like, but it's nearly impossible to resist the sweet licks these guys were laying out. The visual, energetic show, which lasted just under two hours, opened strong with "Rocket," "Animal" and "Foolin'"

On tour pimping their 14th studio album "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge" which came out at the end of April, the band paraded out "Nine Lives," a collaboration with country music superstar Tim McGraw of all people.

"Love Bites" and a cover of David Essex's "Rock On" with a bass line to end all bass lines followed shortly after. The band took it down a notch with a predominately acoustic set for both "Two Steps Behind" and "Bringing on the Hearbreak" but the calm didn't last for long with the band amping things back up for "Hysteria" and "Armageddon It."
